Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try pad thai. For a first savoury order, consider the pad Thai goong; one diner specifically praised its filling portion and authentic taste.

Save room. Leave space for the Halo Halo dessert, especially if you enjoy Filipino-style combinations of ice, fruit, jelly and ube ice cream.

The Bottom Line

Halo Halo is a casual Asian-fusion restaurant in Dubai Marina where the setting is part of the appeal: reviews repeatedly mention the Marina Walk location, big glass windows and views of the bay, yachts and skyscrapers. It suits an easy dinner, catch-up or family meal rather than a formal occasion. The menu gives you plenty to explore across Asian cuisines.

Specific favourites include pad Thai goong, Som Tum salad, Beef Black Pepper and the seafood platter with shrimp, calamari and fish. Portions are often described as generous, and one group found its AED 99 starters-mains-dessert promotion too large to finish. The Halo Halo dessert gets frequent attention, while coconut mango sticky rice is another dependable recommendation; one review details its ube ice cream, fruit, jelly and crushed ice.

Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, with diners also mentioning helpful vegetarian recommendations. There are a few practical cautions. One customer arrived to find the doors closed at 10:30 PM despite an 11 PM listing, and a karaoke-and-seafood-night review felt the service and karaoke equipment needed improvement.

Drivers should confirm parking in advance, since one guest received a late answer and could not use the hotel parking. For a first visit, share a main, choose a window seat if available, and leave room for dessert.
