What to Eat at Teema Al Masri 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 Teema Al Masri 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Expect crowds. Dine-in seating is very limited, with a review counting six tables, so consider takeaway if you want a quicker or more reliable option.
Allow time. Build in extra time for orders: one customer waited more than 30 minutes beyond an initially promised 15 minutes for takeaway.
Plan parking. Parking may take patience, as a reviewer specifically found it difficult to locate a parking space nearby.
Try liver. If you want the dish most strongly associated with the restaurant in reviews, start with grilled liver or Alexandrian liver.
Check takeaway. Before leaving with a takeaway order, check that all items are included; one delivery review reported missing soup, juice and dates.

Common Concerns
Slow service
Waiting times are a recurring concern: one diner reported more than 30 minutes for a takeaway order, while another mentioned a 1.5-hour wait.
Limited seating
The dine-in area is very small; reviews mention only six tables and repeatedly suggest that more seating is needed.
Cleanliness concerns
A customer reported that spoons and soup bowls were not clean and questioned how food was carried from the kitchen to the dining room.
Inconsistent cooking
Food quality is not uniform: one delivered potato-and-meat tajin arrived with hard, undercooked potatoes and meat.
Service attitude
Some recent reviews describe unfriendly or uninterested staff behaviour, so the service experience may vary considerably.

The Bottom Line
Teema Al Masri is a casual Egyptian restaurant in Hor Al Anz, worth considering when you want Egyptian street food rather than a polished dining-room experience. Reviews repeatedly mention grilled liver, Alexandrian liver, shrimp sandwiches and molokhia, with some customers describing the flavours as close to what they expect in Egypt. It is also known for affordable portions and late opening hours.
The strongest recommendations focus on the liver and seafood. One reviewer called the grilled liver the best in Dubai, while others enjoyed fish, shrimp and a seafood platter with squid. Baladi bread was praised as fresh, and the menu also includes distinctive items such as brain, kofta and rice pudding.
Prices are often described as cheap or reasonable, although no specific amounts were provided. Keep expectations practical. The dining area is tiny—one review counted six tables—and parking can be difficult.
Service has been praised by some customers but criticised by others for slow waits, poor attitude and missing delivery items. There are also isolated cleanliness and undercooking complaints, including unclean soup bowls and a hard potato-and-meat tajin. For a first visit, allow extra time, check takeaway orders before leaving and consider going outside peak hours.
