“However, the true star of the meal was the houmous. Its creamy texture, rich flavours, and perfect blend of spices made it an absolute favourite of mine. The delicious houmous alone made the dining experience worthwhile!”

“I'm a fan of cheese sambousek and I always ordered this. Other items on the menu are nice too. Usually there're 5 peices of cheese sambousek per 1 order. I last ordered just 4 days ago. Today, I ordered 2 and both came 4 pieces. Deliveroo contacted them and the manager claimed there're 4 pieces per order. Very disappointing! Either they don't want to admit it was a mistake or they decided to reduce the quantity just in the last 4 days which I doubt. If they do decide to reduce quantity, I might consider ordering from somewhere else. Such a shame to lose repeat customer over 1 piece of sambousek.”

“One dish that truly stands out on the menu is the Batata Harra. This beloved Lebanese dish consists of perfectly fried potatoes, tossed in a tantalizing blend of aromatic spices, garlic, and fresh chili peppers. Every bite is a burst of flavor, with a perfect balance between the heat of the chili and the richness of the spices.”

Book Fridays. Book ahead for Friday karaoke, especially if you plan to stay after 9pm when it gets busier.
Stamp Ticket. If you use parking, stamp your ticket before leaving; one reviewer warned of a charge above AED50 otherwise.
Choose Outside. Choose an outdoor table if the Burj Khalifa view is a priority, as reviewers specifically connect the view with outside seating.
Try Hummus. Start with the hummus, which several reviews single out; one diner particularly praised the Beiruti version.
Avoid Events. For more reliable service, consider visiting outside major events, which one review linked to forgotten and delayed orders.
Order Mint Lemonade. Add the mint lemonade to your order; it was specifically recommended by a diner visiting for the Burj Khalifa setting.
Plan the visit
Service can drag when the restaurant is crowded; one review reported 27-minute average waits for food or drinks.
Friday karaoke can become crowded and loud, while one diner found ventilation poor when smoking shisha.
Some returning customers felt portions had become smaller while prices increased; another called the food a bit pricey.
A delivery order was reported as cold, undercooked and very small, while another complaint concerned a reduced sambousek count.
Parking can be difficult when valet arrangements block the exit, and guests must remember to stamp their ticket.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“AED100 for shisha”Google review · June 2022
The Bottom Line
Mezze House Restaurant is a Lebanese spot in Yansoon that combines Levantine food with a strong Downtown Dubai setting. The main draw is the Burj Khalifa view, particularly from the outdoor seating. Reviews also make a convincing case for the hummus, Batata Harra, Mixed Grill and mint lemonade, while yalanji and Palestinian makloubeh add useful alternatives beyond grilled meats.
The atmosphere ranges from comfortable to lively. Families and groups use it for gatherings and small birthday functions, and shisha is available in separate indoor and outdoor areas. Shisha quality receives both praise and criticism, so it is not quite as dependable as the view or the hummus.
Friday karaoke is another feature, but evenings can become crowded and loud, with one diner also finding the ventilation poor. Service is the main variable. Several guests describe friendly, attentive staff, yet busy periods and events have produced long waits, forgotten orders and slow bill handling.
Go outside peak congestion if timing matters. Basement or indoor parking is available, but it may be paid; stamp the ticket, and watch for valet arrangements that can make exiting awkward. Pricing opinions vary, with some guests finding it reasonable and others saying portions became smaller as prices rose.
