What to Avoid (5)

Food 5

Bolognese pasta Net −1

“On the top of that my son didn't want to finish his bolognese pasta. I've found it so weird as he's a pasta lover. So I tried the pasta and understood why! It was tasteless! And also the spaghetti was all broken! It was impossible to roll it around the fork. Oh man! To break am spaghetti for an Italian it's like a sin!!”
Chicken breast Net −1

“Good and healthy food, various options. A bit noisy place. Welcoming staff. A bit burnt salmon and chicken breast. May be it’s something to work on.”
Grilled chicken wrap Net −1

“I ordered the grilled chicken wrap. Chicken portion is so small, 1/3 of the sandwich barely had any chicken.”
Grilled fish Net −1

“We ordered 2 pasta dishes and 1 grilled fish. They served first my husband's pasta, after 10 or 15 minutes they served my son's pasta... I looked around surprised and found many other tables with people that had arrived definitely after us and realized that they had been already served!! Oh man! That error plus the cold my son and I were feeling coming from the AC rink made me more impatiente and totally irritated. I insisted for my son and husband not wait for me as their food would be cold. So I called a lady and expressed her my frustration, she was kind and patient and she brought my plate a few minutes later. My dish was warm, but the fish was extremely salty. On the menu it mentioned only 9 carbs. But I doubt it as there were potatoes and carrots and no spinach as it used to be.”
Thai chicken Net −1

“I got the Thai chicken and wasn't a big fan… my favorite is always the vegan burger.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Visit off-peak. Allow extra time or visit outside busy periods; one diner said the food took ages and an order was served incorrectly.

Try tiramisu. Order the light tiramisu if you want a dessert that reviewers specifically recommend.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Slow service

Some visits involved long waits, including a 15-minute wait for a juice and repeated calls before a waiter came.

Noise levels

The open setting beside the ice rink can be loud enough to make a longer coffee stop uncomfortable.

The Bottom Line

Krave is a health-focused restaurant and cafe in Downtown Dubai for people who want a lighter meal without defaulting to plain salads. The menu includes high-protein meals, vegan options, bowls, burgers and desserts; reviews specifically mention the grilled salmon, chicken Mexican bowl, vegan burger and light tiramisu. Nutritional values are also available, which helps if you are counting calories or following a fitness plan.

The Dubai Mall setting is part of the appeal. Many diners enjoy watching the ice rink while eating, and the restaurant has a clean, modern feel. The menu is broad enough for different diets, and one review says the kitchen prepared a salad with shrimp that was not listed.

A diner with a nut allergy also described the food as safe, though it is still sensible to explain dietary restrictions before ordering. There are a few practical cautions. Service has ranged from quick to frustratingly slow, including a 15-minute wait for juice and reports of needing to call repeatedly for attention.

The open rink-side layout can be noisy, and tables near the busy door may feel cramped. Food quality is generally praised, but reviews also mention burnt salmon or chicken, small portions and prices higher than Deliveroo. If you want the view, ask for a comfortable table away from the door and allow extra time during busy periods.
