Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4
1

Confirm late hours. If you are coming for Suhoor or another late meal, confirm service first rather than relying only on the 24/7 listing.

2

Allow time. Build in extra time for food, particularly at quieter periods; one sandwich took 15 minutes when the venue looked uncrowded.

The Bottom Line

Tent Jumeirah is a casual beachfront restaurant in Jumeirah where the setting is a major part of the experience. You can eat Emirati and Arabic food, order seafood such as grilled sea bass or a seafood bucket, or stop by for karak, juices and a quick bite while looking out over the water. Some reviews also mention views towards Burj Al Arab and a nearby boardwalk walk.

The menu has several distinctive choices. Customers mention harees, fareed, balaleet and luqaimat, while the banana boat dessert comes with four ice-cream flavours, banana and toppings. Fresh-squeezed juices and real-fruit smoothies are another useful pick, and the karak is liked for being lightly sweet rather than sugary.

Service is often described as friendly and attentive, but it is not always quick. A sandwich took 15 minutes in one visit, and delivery received a much stronger complaint for repeated delays. If you are arriving late for Suhoor, confirm that service is running: one guest found the whole staff on a 30-minute break despite the 24/7 listing.

Outdoor seating can also be windy, and parking has been described as public and paid. The atmosphere suits relaxed family meals, casual dinners and sunset stops more than a tightly timed visit.
