What to Eat at The Nine 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 Nine, 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
Book Wellington. Book Beef Wellington at least 24 hours ahead; one review says advance booking is required.
Choose Seating. If smoke bothers you, ask for the non-smoking section; a review says that option is available.
Check Hours. For an early-afternoon visit, confirm kitchen hours first: one guest found food service began at 3 PM.
Avoid Peaks. Consider visiting outside peak hours if you want more space and shorter waits, as one review found it crowded then.

Common Concerns
Indoor Smoking
One reviewer reported heavy smoking inside the venue, which could be a deal-breaker if you want a smoke-free meal.
Cooking Request
A pregnant guest said meat requested well done twice was not served that way, so confirm important cooking requirements clearly.
Busy Periods
The venue can become crowded at peak times, with one review suggesting better wait-time management.
Occasional Noise
Although many reviews like the music level, one reviewer cautioned that some nights can be louder than expected.
Salty Cod
One otherwise positive meal found the cod too salty, so this dish may be worth checking with the team before ordering.

The Bottom Line
The Nine is a British-style gastro pub in Umm Hurair, set inside Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk. It suits a relaxed dinner, drinks with friends or a football-watching session at the bar. The strongest food mentions are Beef Wellington, fish and chips, mushroom toast and the cod with saffron sauce.
Beef Wellington is the signature experience in the reviews. It has been sliced and plated beside the table, with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire accompaniment, and one reviewer says it requires 24 hours’ advance booking. The menu also includes British favourites such as roast dinners, while the drinks list ranges from fresh beer and wine to cocktails including the playful Meowgarita.
The setting combines a warm, stylish interior with Egyptian-inspired design details. Music is often described as lively without getting in the way of conversation, though some nights are louder. Screens make the bar useful for watching football, and there is a smoking room alongside non-smoking seating.
There are a few practical cautions. One guest reported heavy indoor smoking, another said a well-done meat request was missed, and a reviewer found the cod too salty. Peak periods can be crowded, so booking ahead or visiting off-peak is sensible.
Early afternoon kitchen hours may also need checking.
