    Mixed feedback

    “I therefore landed on the watermelon and feta salad and tried the halloumi paratha ‘tacos’. The watermelon feta salad (AED45) is a substantial portion and easily enough for a large lunch or to share with someone together with another dish. Giant diced sweet watermelon paired with peppery rocket and salty creamy feta is a classic pairing. A tangy drizzling of pomegranate molasses brings everything together. This is a good value reasonably healthy dish given the price point, quality of the food and significant portion.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Book Outside. Ask for outdoor seating if you want the Dubai Fountain view; diners describe the patio as the best place to watch it.

2

Check Timings. For a late breakfast, go before 1 pm: the Arabic breakfast platter is reported to be served until then.

The Bottom Line

Logma is a casual Emirati and Khaleeji restaurant in Downtown Dubai, located in Dubai Mall and known for combining local flavours with modern dishes. Customers come for food such as chicken biryani, machbous, Logma Fries and luqaimat, but the outdoor fountain view is often the main draw. It works well for a relaxed mall meal, a family outing or a celebration.

The menu has plenty of choice beyond traditional rice dishes. Reviews mention dynamite shrimp, pasta, paratha sandwiches, burgers, salads and Arabic breakfast, which is served until 1 pm. Portions can be generous: one diner found the chicken saffron risotto too large to finish, while another considered the halloumi paratha tacos unusually substantial.

That makes sharing worth considering, especially if you want to try several dishes. Service is generally described as fast, attentive and friendly, and staff have helped with birthday arrangements and outdoor seating. The experience is not completely consistent, though.

One iftar visit involved missing dates and water just before azan, and the Chicken Machboos was reported as extremely salty. Some diners also find the menu heavy, and shrimp portions or desserts have drawn criticism. For the strongest setting, request the patio and check the fountain show timing before you arrive.
