What to Eat at The MAINE Street Eatery Restaurant, Studio City Dubai 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 The MAINE Street Eatery Restaurant, Studio City Dubai, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of The MAINE Street Eatery Restaurant, Studio City Dubai, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try Kelly Oysters. For a first visit, start with the oysters—especially the Kelly oysters, which regulars name as their favourite.
Order Fish Taco. Add the Fish Taco if you want the dish most strongly described as a signature order by regular diners.
Use Happy Hour. For better value on drinks and oysters, visit during the reported sunset happy hour, with offers between 6 and 8pm.
Save Room. Consider the sticky toffee pudding; one diner describes it as warm and rich with buttery toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Consider Brunch. Weekend brunch works well for groups, with reviews mentioning music, generous portions and family gatherings.
Check Seasoning. If you prefer bold seasoning, ask about the dish before ordering: a few reviews mention bland food or an under-flavoured dish.

The Bottom Line
The MAINE Street Eatery is a Studio One Hotel restaurant in Dubai Production City with a retro, warm setting for brunch, dinner, drinks or a relaxed catch-up. The clearest reasons to go are the fresh oysters, the Fish Taco that regulars treat as a signature, and the well-regarded pan-seared tuna. Brunch is also a recurring highlight for friends and families.
The room gets consistent praise for its stylish decor, comfortable atmosphere and attentive service, although one visit involved a 30-minute wait before anyone took the order. There is a useful drinks angle too: a reported sunset happy hour offered 50% off vino and cocktails, plus 10aed oysters between 6 and 8pm. That makes the early-evening window worth checking if you are planning drinks or seafood.
Food quality is not completely uniform. Several diners describe fresh, flavourful, beautifully presented dishes, but others found the lobster pasta, steak or another dish bland. Dessert feedback is similarly mixed; the sticky toffee pudding has a particularly strong recommendation, while another reviewer found a dessert overly sweet and unbalanced.
For a first visit, share oysters and the Fish Taco, then choose your mains according to your group’s preferences.
