What to Eat at Orilla Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Orilla Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose rooftop timing. For the open-air terrace, cooler weather is likely more comfortable; in summer, the rooftop is covered by a glass canopy.
Try brunch. Weekend brunch is a useful way to experience the views and relaxed atmosphere; the wagyu with truffle butter was a standout.
Order Amalfi. If you want a named cocktail recommendation, try the Amalfi cocktail, which one reviewer specifically recommended.
Check Wednesday. Wednesday may suit visitors looking for a more energetic evening, with reviews mentioning ladies night, DJs and dancing.
Allow extra time. Build some flexibility into your schedule: one review describes a long wait for food, despite an enjoyable final meal.

The Bottom Line
Orilla is a rooftop MediterrAsian restaurant in Jumeirah Village Triangle, set on the 27th floor with views towards the Burj and ferris wheel. It works for a polished dinner, a sunset drink, a weekend brunch or a livelier night with DJs. The interiors are a genuine draw: reviews describe a Mediterranean-inspired design, multiple halls and two terraces rather than a simple dining room.
There is plenty of specific food to explore. The lamb shoulder was exceptionally tender, the wagyu steak with orzo was praised for its cooking, and the 100-layered lasagna stood out as a distinctive, rich dish. The Amalfi cocktail is a named favourite, while the menu also includes creative drinks inspired by Mediterranean destinations.
Families are not overlooked; one review praised the fresh, high-quality kids menu. Service is usually described as warm, attentive and well paced, though the picture is not completely uniform. One diner felt the team lacked confidence and hospitality, and another reported a long wait for food.
For the terrace, cooler weather should be more comfortable; summer visits benefit from the glass canopy. Wednesday programming may appeal if you want dinner with more music and dancing.
