The Bottom Line

SURA is a polished Korean barbecue restaurant in Al Garhoud, located inside Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre. The main draw is table-side grilling: staff cook the meat for you, while the menu also covers Korean favourites such as japchae, jjamppong, kimchi pancakes, stews and desserts. It suits a meal focused on premium beef, but there is enough beyond barbecue to make lunch worth considering.

The Duo BBQ, Wagyu and Black Angus are prominent choices in the reviews, while the unlimited BBQ is praised for authentic Korean flavours. Specific standouts include Yangnyeom Galbi, Garlic Marinated Jumuluk and kimchi pancake. Several diners mention generous portions, although one customer felt the meat was expensive for the quantity.

A returning guest also thought the Wagyu had declined from the version served earlier in the year, so expectations around that cut may depend on the current supply. The room is clean, spacious and elegant, blending modern design with traditional Korean artwork. Staff are often praised for explaining dishes and handling the grilling, which is useful for first-time Korean diners.

A private room worked well for a birthday celebration, and free parking was noted. If you want more than barbecue, one reviewer recommends lunch; also check availability first for drinks shown on social media, including Makgeolli.
