What to Eat at Ricky's 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 Ricky's 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.

“We have just eaten there, our last night in Dubai, and we weren't hungry but couldn't resist trying Indian food. We LOVE Indian food. We split the Mutton rogan josh and it was delicious, really one of the best we've had. Also the garlic naan was excellent. The service was wonderful too. Would absolutely recommend this place, although I found the menu a bit too varied, with Chinese food and other ethnic dishes, and we had to sit inside, which was a shame as it was a gorgeous evening to sit outside, like all the other restaurants with outdoor seating. Wish we were staying longer to try other dishes 😊”

Tips for a Better Visit
Go early. For a quieter breakfast, consider arriving early; one reviewer found it uncrowded but said it fills quickly.
Ask about vegetables. If you want vegetarian food, ask the team for suggestions; a visitor received useful guidance on veg options.
Try Indian. The Indian menu has strong review support, particularly Dal Makhani, mutton rogan josh and garlic naan.
Confirm spice. If you need a mild dish, repeat the request when ordering and check before the food arrives.
Check seating. Because seating is compact and outdoor arrangements were not consistent across reviews, ask what seating is available when you arrive.

Common Concerns
Limited seating
It is a small restaurant with seating for fewer than 20 guests, so it can become busy quickly.
Slow breakfast
One breakfast visit took at least 35 minutes, so service speed may vary.
Price concerns
One reviewer found the wraps expensive at around 40 to 60 AED, while others also questioned value.
Inconsistent snacks
A spinach croissant was reported as not fresh and unlike the picture shown.
Spice mismatch
A kebab ordered non-spicy was served with pepper, which disappointed one customer.

The Bottom Line
Ricky’s Restaurant is a compact multi-cuisine restaurant in Dubai Marina, and breakfast is one of its clearest strengths. You can order Ricky’s special eggs, Egg Benedict, omelettes or egg-stuffed croissants, with several reviews also praising the coffee. Marina views add to the appeal, especially for a relaxed morning meal.
The Indian menu is worth attention rather than treating the restaurant as just a breakfast café. Reviewers singled out Dal Makhani, mutton rogan josh with garlic naan, aloo gobi and other flavorful dishes. There are lighter options too: a Chicken Fajita Tortilla Wrap, hummus, falafel and snacks such as fries.
Food presentation is another recurring positive, with the Ricky’s special eggs specifically noted for how the dish was presented. The setting is small—one reviewer estimated fewer than 20 seats—and it can become busy quickly, so arriving early may make breakfast more relaxed. Service is generally described as warm and attentive, though one breakfast took at least 35 minutes.
Prices are usually described as reasonable or competitive, but a reviewer found wraps at 40 to 60 AED expensive. If spice matters, confirm your preference clearly: one kebab ordered non-spicy arrived with pepper. Outdoor seating also appears to vary, so ask what is available on the day.
