The Bottom Line

Mist Restaurant & Cafe is a Business Bay dining and shisha venue built around Lebanese and international food, canal-side seating and a sociable evening atmosphere. You can come for a proper meal, settle in with shisha, play board games or watch football on the big screens. The outdoor terrace is the main draw when the weather is pleasant, with views toward the Burj Khalifa.

The Lebanese side of the menu gets the clearest praise. Reviewers recommend the hummus, tabbouleh, mixed grill and tawook; one mixed grill included kebab, kofta, taouk, shishlik and beef brochette, making it a sharing-friendly order. The chicken shawarma platter and mango salad also receive specific mentions, while pizza, pasta, soups and desserts give groups different directions to go.

Service is usually described as attentive, friendly and quick, and several guests comment on the clean, comfortable setting. There are practical caveats. A repeat visitor objected to being told about a 150-dirham-per-person minimum spend only after sitting down, so ask before taking a table.

Valet parking was reported at 15 Dhs per hour and may involve waiting. Indoors can be noisy, while one guest was disappointed by a fresh juice that tasted partly like carton juice.
