The Bottom Line

Orfali Bros is a contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant in Jumeirah where the meal is built around inventive combinations, detailed presentation and stories behind the dishes. You can book the immersive tasting menu or order à la carte, with options ranging from the Corn Bomb and Shish Barak Gyoza to pizza and burgers. The tasting experience is the main draw.

Reviews describe a 15-course journey with house-made kombuchas and other non-alcoholic drinks, while the staff explain each plate and its origins. The Umami éclair, Burnt Leek & Truffle Pide and Corn Bomb are among the dishes diners repeatedly single out. The open kitchen and relaxed setting keep the atmosphere less formal than the food might suggest.

Plan ahead: reservations are in high demand, and one guest had a frustrating arrival because parking instructions were unclear and the restaurant did not answer a call. À la carte small plates can be one-bite servings, so order generously or share several dishes. Portions and comfort divided opinion, with some diners leaving hungry or finding the room cold and chairs uncomfortable during a long meal.

One review reported 700 AED for two, though pricing varies by what you order.
