“I didn’t know I will find platters here. I thought it was just sandwiches, but to my pleasant surprise there were salads and platters so I went with the chicken platter. I didn’t expect though to have it more marinated in Asian flavors. I think it had curry and it was a bit spicy so if you don’t like spicy food, that would be an unpleasant surprise to you. Nonetheless, it was good, and I had a free date bread which seems as part of the platter and not really free. I’d come here again for sure.”

Choose size. Ask about sandwich sizes before ordering: Paperboy is the smallest, while Big and Bigger are better choices if you are hungry.
Skip small. If you have a large appetite, avoid the small sandwich; one customer found it too small despite liking the rest of the meal.
Allow time. For delivery, allow extra time or check the order status closely, as a reviewer reported riders waiting 30 to 50 minutes outside.
Try karak. Add Cardamon Karak to a sandwich order if you want a drink recommendation that customers specifically call out.
Use parking. Drivers can look for restaurant parking on the building's upper level; the review also describes a Cluster E route to the lake level.
Check access. For wheelchair access, use the building reception and lift route rather than the stairs described for the usual parking approach.

Delivery-related waits can be serious: one review says food riders waited 30 to 50 minutes outside for orders.
Some customers found the small sandwich or delivered wrap too little for the price, especially when hungry.
One customer reported receiving lettuce with black edges and only a spoonful of rice, raising a specific freshness and portion concern.
A reviewer felt the newly launched pasta was too basic for its price, with no toppings.
The restaurant may not suit working customers: one review says there are no electricity plugs and little atmosphere.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
breakfast deal

wrap
“25 dhs for a wrap which was smaller than an average roadside shawarma”Google review · April 2026
The Bottom Line
Pressman's is a sandwich-focused restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with hot pressed sandwiches, freshly baked bread and a broad enough menu to cover a quick office lunch or a casual sit-down meal. Reviewers return for the chicken avocado and bacon sandwich, Delmonico Steak Sandwich, salads and smoothies; the strawberry smoothie also gets a specific mention. Cardamon Karak is another drink worth asking about.
The setting is one of its stronger points. Customers describe a bright, roomy, clean and cozy space, with shaded outdoor seating and enough room for couples or small families. One review says the restaurant is open 24 hours, making it useful for weekend or late-night visits.
Parking is reportedly available on the building's upper level, while wheelchair users should use the building reception and lift route to reach the lake level. Value depends on what you order and how hungry you are. A 79 Dhs breakfast deal was considered worthwhile, but some customers found the small sandwich or a 25 dhs wrap too small and dry.
Delivery is the main practical caution: one order left a rider waiting 30 to 50 minutes outside. There are also no electricity plugs, so it is not a strong work-from-café choice.
