Avoid rush. For a calmer brunch, consider visiting outside the Saturday peak, when one reviewer found the restaurant packed and waited.
Order early. If you want steak and eggs, note that the dish is served until 2pm rather than throughout the day.
Check menu. Check the current menu before making a return trip for one dish, since a reviewer reported frequent menu changes.
Check payment. Before paying through Qlub, check whether an extra service fee applies, as one customer objected to the charge.
Coffee caution. If espresso is central to your visit, check its current quality first; one coffee-focused customer was distinctly unimpressed.

A reviewer was frustrated that dishes were repeatedly removed, making it difficult to return for a previously enjoyed favourite.
Saturday brunch can mean a packed room and a wait; one reviewer also found menu knowledge inconsistent during the rush.
One coffee-focused review strongly disliked the espresso, describing it as tasting like sand.
A customer disliked paying through Qlub because of an additional service fee.
The Bottom Line
Leen’s City Centre Mirdif is a polished, relaxed restaurant on Floor 1 with a menu that moves between breakfast, Asian dishes and desserts. Breakfast is one of the strongest draws: steak and eggs are served until 2pm, while Spanish shakshuka and Turkish eggs also receive enthusiastic mentions. For later meals, reviewers highlight shrimp tacos, sushi and generous poke bowls.
The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, stylish and calm, making it suitable for an unhurried meal or coffee in the mall. Service is often warm and attentive, and one reviewer specifically noted careful handling of dietary restrictions. Desserts are another reason to leave room: the basbousa was praised for its texture and rich taste, while Kinder Bueno pancakes and other desserts also stand out.
There are a few things to keep in mind. Saturday brunch can be busy enough to involve a wait, and one customer found service and menu knowledge less consistent during the rush. The menu has reportedly changed several times, so check that a favourite is still available before visiting specifically for it.
Coffee feedback is mixed, with one espresso complaint despite other positive coffee comments. Also check for any extra Qlub payment fee before settling the bill.
