The Good Stuff
Strong desserts
The Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt dessert is repeatedly highlighted; chocolate mousse and doughnuts also received especially enthusiastic mentions.
Sunset setting
The pool, beach and outdoor setting work particularly well for a late lunch that carries into sunset drinks.
Lively music
Live music, DJs and a carefully chosen soundtrack create energy without always overwhelming conversation.
Flexible seating
The spacious venue has several seating styles, with both pool and beach areas for different kinds of visits.
Attentive service
Many diners describe the service as warm, attentive and professional, including helpful advice when choosing dishes.
Tips for a Better Visit
Reserve ahead. Make a reservation before arriving; one diner specifically says it is required.
Check charges. Before paying, ask to see the menu’s service-charge wording, since one review reports a 10% charge was already included.
Go late. For the full beach-club mood, consider a late lunch so you can stay through the sunset.
Try dessert. Leave room for the frozen yogurt or Greek yogurt dessert; several reviews single it out, and one calls it a must-try.
Visit early. If you prefer a quieter meal, an early visit may help: one diner found the 12pm service quiet before the venue became busier.
Ask timing. When booking or being seated, confirm how long the table is available so the time limit does not interrupt your meal.

The Bottom Line
Sirene by GAIA is an Aegean-inspired beach club and restaurant in Jumeirah, with pool and beach seating, Greek and Mediterranean dishes, and an elegant but lively atmosphere. It suits long lunches, sunset drinks and special dinners, especially when you want the setting and the meal to feel like one outing. The seafood is a major draw.
One lunch included oysters, carabineros and alphonsino, all described as very fresh, while other diners praised the fish, salads and lamb. The Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt dessert is the clearest recurring recommendation; chocolate mousse and doughnuts also earned strong praise. Cocktails, live music and a soundtrack that still allows conversation add to the evening atmosphere.
Service is often warm and attentive, but the reviews are not completely consistent. One visit involved a one-hour wait for mains and cold food, while another raised concerns about a 10% service charge being misunderstood. There is also no reported non-smoking area, and one guest found cigarette and cigar smoke intrusive.
Reserve ahead, ask about any table time limit and check the service-charge wording before settling the bill. For a quieter start, consider an early lunch; for the beach-club experience, arrive late enough to catch sunset.
