What to Eat at Krave Healthy Restaurant DIFC How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Krave Healthy Restaurant DIFC, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Beetroot burrata salad Net −1
“I ordered a beetroot burrata salad via Careem and the portion was honestly unacceptable. The ratio of greens to beetroot and burrata was completely off — almost no beetroot, barely any burrata, and just a pile of plain salad leaves. For the price, this felt like a token portion rather than a proper dish. Very disappointing and nowhere near what was advertised.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check orders. Check takeaway or delivery items carefully before settling in, as one recent review reports frequent order mistakes.
Avoid rush. Allow extra time around lunch, when the kitchen can become busy and phone response may slow down.
Expect limited seating. For dine-in, arrive outside summer’s busiest periods or be prepared for limited indoor seating at the DIFC location.
Check calories. Use the menu’s calorie information when building a meal around a specific intake.
Choose spicy. If the regular garlic chicken shawarma sounds mild, the reviewer planned to try the spicy version for more flavour.
Skip cookie. Treat the skinny cookie as a small add-on rather than a substantial dessert; one reviewer found it thinner than a fingernail.

The Bottom Line
Krave is a health-food restaurant in DIFC built around calorie-conscious meals, vegan options, fresh juices and speciality coffee. You can dine in or order delivery, with reviews specifically calling out the Green Thai option, the Ramadan Box, chicken dishes and an acai bowl with almond butter. The useful detail here is the menu transparency: reviewers mention calorie counts and macro-counted meals, while gluten-free diners found choices such as the chicken burger and chicken Milanese with rice.
The food is not universally described as bland; one diner said the menu did not feel like typical “healthy” food, and another singled out the Green Thai. The DIFC branch is small, so indoor seating can be limited in summer. Lunch may also be slower when the kitchen is busy.
Dine-in service has received warm feedback from some customers, but phone response and order accuracy are recurring concerns, particularly for delivery. Quality appears inconsistent across recent orders. Reports include over-salted pasta, dry chicken, missing or incorrect items, and ingredients that smelled off.
Portions can disappoint too: the beetroot burrata salad was criticised for having mostly plain leaves. Also note the 11 AED skinny cookie was described as exceptionally tiny.
