What to Eat at LOWE Dubai 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 LOWE Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try tasting. For a first visit, consider the tasting menu so you can sample LOWE’s changing style across several courses.
Book ahead. Reserve in advance, especially if you want outdoor seating, as the al fresco area has limited tables.
Ask questions. If the menu wording feels unfamiliar, ask the team to explain dishes and recommend what to order.
Check parking. Tell security you are visiting the restaurant to enter; parking was reported as sufficient, though busy periods may be harder.
Try Thursday. Thursday visitors can look out for the oyster special mentioned by a recent dinner reviewer.

The Bottom Line
LOWE is a contemporary restaurant centred on seasonal, fire-led cooking and share-style plates. It suits diners who enjoy a menu with a twist rather than standard starters and mains. Breakfast is a major draw: reviewers highlight avocado toast with shrimp, Asian-style shakshuka and truffle scrambled eggs.
For lunch or dinner, the beef tartare, Crab Crumpet, wood-fired sesame bread with burnt aubergine dip and burger all receive specific praise. The setting is a big part of the appeal. Surrounded by greenery, the restaurant feels calm and removed from Dubai’s busier areas, with indoor and outdoor seating and an open kitchen.
Service is often warm, knowledgeable and well-paced, although two reviews describe slow attention or a notably unwelcoming interaction. The menu can also be hard to decode, so asking for guidance is sensible. LOWE is a drive for some visitors, but secured parking is available through the surrounding security.
Book ahead if you want the outdoor section, which has limited tables. The menu changes regularly, so older photos may not reflect what is currently served. Reported set-menu prices include a 90 Dirhams lunch and an AED 175 multi-course tasting menu; these are customer-reported examples, not a current price list.
