Avoid peaks. Consider visiting outside peak hours if timing matters, as one review says the restaurant can get busy then.
Confirm seating. When booking, ask whether your table is in the shisha section, especially if you are bringing children or prefer a smoke-free meal.
Check billing. Review the receipt before paying, particularly if you brought your own water or have a larger group bill.
Watch salt. If you prefer lightly seasoned food, mention it when ordering; one diner found the fried rice noticeably salty.
Try momos. For a first order, consider the Chicken Tandoori Momos, which several reviews describe as a standout dish.

Some visits involved long waits; one review says two pizzas took an hour to reach the table.
A few diners found dishes too salty, too spicy or under-seasoned, including fried rice and chicken chilly.
The shisha atmosphere may not suit families with younger children or diners sensitive to smoke.
One customer reported being charged for water brought from outside, so the bill deserves a careful check.
An Iftar buffet review liked the taste but felt the quantity was small for the price.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“The average cost for a couple’s dinner is around 250–350 AED”Google review · January 2026
The Bottom Line
N89 Restaurant is a Jumeirah Lake Towers dining spot focused on Indo-Chinese food, with shisha and lake-facing seating adding to the evening appeal. The menu has plenty of specific talking points: Murgh Angara, Crispy Thread Chicken, Chicken Tandoori Momos, Dragon Chicken, jaul chowmein and the unusual N89 Special Pizza Rice all appear in positive reviews. There are also mocktails and a broad choice of shisha flavours.
The setting is one of the main draws. Customers describe the lake view as calm and relaxing, and mention indoor, outdoor, smoking and non-smoking areas. That said, the shisha section can feel more suited to young adults and groups than families with younger children, while another diner found the smoke noticeable throughout the premises.
Service is often described as attentive, polite and professional, but it is not perfectly consistent. One visit involved an hour-long wait for two pizzas, and another reviewer said the restaurant became busy during peak hours. Food feedback is similarly mixed: many diners praise flavour and freshness, while others report dishes that were too salty, too spicy or poorly seasoned.
For value, one review puts a couple’s dinner at around 250–350 AED. Check the receipt carefully, and confirm your seating area when booking.
