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.
