What to Eat at Maison De Curry | Restaurant with the best views of Burj Khalifa & Dubai Fountains 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 Maison De Curry | Restaurant with the best views of Burj Khalifa & Dubai Fountains, 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
Check seating. Ask exactly where you will sit; an outside table is what determines whether the fountain show is visible from your table.
Confirm deposits. If booking a view table, reconfirm the location and how the deposit will be refunded before paying.
Arrive early. Allow extra time around busy light-show appointments; one review recommends arriving early and being patient.
Check happy hour. Verify the happy-hour end time, discount and added fees before ordering; one advertised period ended at 6:00 PM.
Book ahead. For a birthday or other special occasion, reserve in advance rather than relying on a walk-in table.

Common Concerns
High prices
Several diners felt the food and drinks were expensive for their quality, even allowing for the location.
Table uncertainty
Only a small number of edge tables reportedly offer a proper fountain view, so reservations may not guarantee the sightline you want.
Added charges
A cocktail bill included VAT, service and municipality fees that one guest felt were not clearly disclosed.
Slow service
One diner waited a long time for food after a server forgot the order, despite there being no crowd-related reason.
Windy terrace
Large fans can make outdoor dining feel noticeably windy and less relaxing.

The Bottom Line
Maison De Curry is a view-led restaurant in Downtown Dubai, located in Souk Al Bahar and aimed at diners who want food with the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain as the backdrop. Outdoor seating can put you close to the fountain show, making it a popular choice for birthdays, family visits and an evening that feels more like an outing than a quick meal. The menu has a broad Indian-fusion feel, with reviewers calling out sushi, lamb with curry, crab curry and the golden pan sea bass.
The Caesar salad, salads generally, mocktails and cocktails also receive positive mentions. The atmosphere is described as elegant but lively, and service is often attentive even when the restaurant is busy. There are a few details to manage carefully.
Fountain visibility depends heavily on the table: several reviews say only edge or outside tables provide a proper view, while one party reported being promised a front-row seat but placed elsewhere and losing its deposit. Prices are high by ordinary restaurant standards, and a cocktail visit produced a 221 AED bill after VAT, service and municipality charges. Check the happy-hour hours, final prices and fees before ordering, and confirm the exact table and deposit terms when booking.
