  2. Banana split Net −1

  3. Chicken carbonara Net −1
    “The Chicken Carbonara was another letdown. The pasta was extremely soft and lacked the texture you would expect from a good Italian pasta dish. Overall, the execution made us question their understanding of Italian cuisine.”
  4. Farm salad Net −1
    “We ordered the Farm Salad, which I understood to be one of their signature dishes, so I was expecting something special. Unfortunately, it came without proper dressing and was quite disappointing.”
  5. Pineapple slushy Net −1

Drinks 1

  1. Flat white Net −1
    “The coffee was ok, I ordered a flat white, but it’s served in a cappuccino cup, so too much milk.”

The Bottom Line

The Farm Restaurant in Majan is mainly about the setting: lakes, trees, water features and garden-style surroundings make it feel removed from Dubai’s usual pace. You can come for breakfast, lunch, dinner or afternoon tea, with customers mentioning dishes such as fish and chips, four cheese pizza, avocado toast and grilled food platters. Indoor and outdoor seating gives the visit a flexible, leisurely feel.

Families have a useful extra here: a children’s play area, while couples and smaller groups tend to value the quiet atmosphere and water views. Breakfast is a strong choice in the reviews, with Arabic breakfast, chia bowls, avocado toast and well-presented breakfast selections all receiving praise. Service can also be notably thoughtful, particularly when staff help with dietary questions or celebration setups.

There are practical trade-offs. Flies and mosquitoes have affected both terrace and indoor visits, and one guest had to move inside after birds repeatedly disturbed the food. Parking can be confusing or a long walk away, although free valet is mentioned.

Food quality and service are inconsistent: some diners found portions and flavours excellent, while others felt dishes were ordinary or overpriced. Book ahead for busy weekends and ask for an indoor table if insects are likely to bother you.
