Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Book Ahead. Reserve a table if you are visiting at a busy time; one diner specifically advised booking in advance.

Order More. For groups, budget for extra plates because one review found the portions small and the gyoza serving was only two pieces.

The Bottom Line

Juan is a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant in Galleria Mall, Dubai, where the appeal is the meeting point between South American flavours and Asian techniques. You can build a meal around black prawn maki, ceviche, tacos or gyoza, then finish with a dessert such as Lucuma Fondant. The menu is broad enough for sharing, although portions may feel modest for larger groups.

The strongest feedback goes to the creative dishes and presentation. Black prawn maki, salmon maki, guacamole-based starters and the Wagyu Lima Smash burger all receive notable praise, while several diners enjoyed the corn dishes and Peruvian anticucho. Service is generally described as friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, though one review mentions a delayed bill and another noticed understaffing on a weeknight.

The room is warm and carefully decorated, with indoor seating preferred by one reviewer over the outdoor area. Booking ahead is sensible when busy. Drivers may find parking directly outside.

Keep in mind that experiences are not perfectly uniform: the Yellow Chili Cazuela was called too salty, some shrimp dishes disappointed one diner, and dessert feedback ranged from excellent fondant to criticism of the chocolate ice cream.
