The Good Stuff
Fresh flavours
Reviewers describe the food as fresh, well prepared and flavourful, including the lamb pasta and watermelon salad.
Desserts
The Greek yoghurt ice cream, baklava with ice cream and Millefeuille receive especially strong mentions.
Vegetarian choices
A reviewer found the menu notably vegetarian-friendly, with watermelon salad, spinach pie and vegetable orzo standing out.
Greek styling
The interior, crockery and tableware give the restaurant a distinctive Greek-influenced visual character.
Attentive service
Multiple reviews describe the wait staff as friendly, quick and attentive throughout the meal.
Tips for a Better Visit
Choose inside. For a quieter dinner, request an indoor table; the waterside outdoor seating can be noisy.
Try sunset. Outdoor dining around 6pm was praised for sunset views and fresh air, making it a useful timing idea.
Check availability. Ask what is currently available before ordering, particularly on late visits when the displayed menu may not match.
Book ahead. Consider reserving in advance for busy evenings: one reviewer found the restaurant fully booked on a Tuesday.
Parking access. The restaurant is described as very close to parking, which is handy when visiting Bluewaters Island for dinner.

Common Concerns
High pricing
Several diners felt prices were difficult to justify, especially for Greek salad and small portions without sides or bread.
Small portions
One meal review found a chicken souvlaki was a single skewer without sides or bread, making the final cost feel steep.
Menu changes
A late-evening diner said the menu at the door differed from the much more limited menu provided after seating.
Food inconsistency
One reviewer reported lamb chops needing two returns and chicken souvlaki arriving pink and chewy in the middle.
Outdoor noise
The outdoor tables can be affected by noisy party boats and loud activity on the nearby sidewalk.

The Bottom Line
Miya Dubai is a Greek restaurant on Bluewaters Island, suited to a waterside dinner with a modern Greek feel. Reviews mention the watermelon salad, lamb kebab, Greek salad and sea bream, while the Greek yoghurt ice cream and baklava with ice cream give the meal a strong dessert finish. Vegetarian diners also have useful choices, including spinach pie and vegetable orzo.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. The terrace looks towards the marina and JBR, while the interior, bright décor and distinctive crockery create a polished Greek atmosphere. Outdoor seating was especially enjoyable around sunset, and the restaurant is close to parking.
Some evenings also include live music or brunch entertainment. There are trade-offs. Several diners considered the pricing high, particularly for Greek salad and dishes served without bread or sides; one bill reached 964 AED.
A late-night visit also found the menu much more limited than the one displayed outside. Food quality is generally praised but not perfectly consistent, with one serious report of undercooked chicken souvlaki and another of overcooked octopus. For a quieter meal, sit indoors because passing party boats and sidewalk noise can carry outside.
Check dish availability before ordering and consider booking for busy periods.
