  1. Chicken curry Net −1
    “The second time, which I’ll share with you the details about I ordered “Chicken Curry” for my main course; 4,6/10. Did not really like it, there was too much sauce. It is an eastern dish. The chicken was delicious though but it felt somewhat heavy. I think this dish is better shared than ordered for one.”
  2. Coconut prawn curry Net −1
    “But we didn’t enjoy the coconut prawn curry in the appetisers since it was rather too sweet 🤧.”
  3. Crunchy california co Net −1
    “I love the rainbow sushi coz I like raw - second I like was the twisted salmon - didn’t like the crunchy California Co it wasn’t crunchy at all and the rice was cold - I have when it’s not room temp u feel it’s out of the fridge and cooked - the fried calamari was ok - I returned back the crunchy rice with salmon coz was not crunchyyyyyyyyy at all but why ? Such a location why can’t they fix those problems with sushi - so sad ! And the crab salad so dry - tasteless we had to add soy sauce and wasabi and ginger to make the taste better with lime”

  5. Falafel Net −1
    “The falafel was too big a size.. they could have made in smaller size like the one that we get in AL Safadi or in Aroos Damascus. .. too big a size spoils the taste, crispness.”
  6. Katsu curry Net −1
    “The katsu curry had too much curry powder that it was a bit overpowering but still edible.”
  7. Korean beef dolsot bibimbap Net −1
    “I ordered the Korean beef dolsot bibimbap but it came in a curry sauce, which was quite odd. The meat quality was good but the dish was far from authentic. They really should call it something else”
  8. Salmon teriyaki Net −1
    “Fruity juice was very nice and fresh, salmon teriyaki nothing special, a bit tasteless, but the lotus cheese dessert was amazing!! I would say dessert of my life!”
  9. Sushi with ebi tempura Net −1
    “The result was sushi with ebi tempura, but without the ebi tempura bc of gluten. So the most expensive ingredient of the sushi was missing. There was no replacement (for example a bit more of avocado) nor did we get a discount on the price.”
  10. Tom yum soup Net −1
    “Food was OK, but portion of tom yum soup small, few ingredients and lacked taste.”

    “To add to the disappointment, the jasmine green tea was served in earthenware that failed to retain heat, cooling too quickly and diminishing the overall experience.”
  2. Oreo milkshake Net −1
    “Service wasn't great, as we waited around 20min for drinks, and when I got my Oreo milkshake it was watery.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Reserve outside. Book ahead if the fountain view matters; one dinner guest found no outdoor spots and specifically advised advance booking.

2

Try off-peak. A Sunday walk-in at 6pm reportedly found fountain-view seating without a wait, though busier periods may differ.

The Bottom Line

Social House is an international-menu restaurant in Dubai Mall where the setting is almost as important as the meal. Outdoor tables face the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa, while the indoor room uses warm wood, greenery and soft lighting. It works for a relaxed mall break, family dinner or evening view, with breakfast available too.

The menu is broad rather than tied to one cuisine. Reviewers return for truffle pizza, Singapore noodles, Nasi Goreng and Dynamite Shrimp, while breakfast guests mention the Big Breakfast, shakshuka and blueberry pancakes. The food is often described as fresh, flavourful and well presented, although a few diners found dishes such as tom yum soup or nasi goreng underwhelming.

Reserve ahead if an outdoor fountain table is central to your plan. Indoor seating is a useful fallback, and one reviewer found a walk-in fountain table on Sunday at 6pm. The terrace has air coolers, but busy periods can bring delays or seating confusion.

Prices reflect the Dubai Mall setting. One diner paid 79 AED for Penne Arrabbiata and 89 AED each for Peri Peri Chicken and Nasi Goreng; another felt portions were small for the cost. Service is frequently attentive, but timing is worth confirming when ordering several courses.
