“Small hut like cafe with emirati food near the beach. Had some emirati breakfast and a few other items. The breakfast was ok I suggest order the eggs directly and 1 or 2 of the sides you want unless you want a small portion of all the elements. The saffron tea was good. Price is mid range.”

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.
Allow time. Build in extra time for food, particularly at quieter periods; one sandwich took 15 minutes when the venue looked uncrowded.
Choose weather. Winter or calmer evenings should be more comfortable for outdoor dining; one guest found the beach seating too windy.
Try breakfast. For Emirati breakfast, order eggs directly with one or two preferred sides if you want larger portions of those items.

A customer reported repeated order-fulfilment and delivery delays despite liking the food quality.
Several reviews mention slow service; one sandwich took 15 minutes despite the restaurant not looking busy.
A guest arriving for Suhoor found the full staff on a 30-minute break despite the advertised 24/7 opening.
One customer found the biryani tasteless and felt their negative feedback was handled poorly.
Outdoor visits can be uncomfortable in windy conditions, especially when sitting close to the beach.
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.
