The Good Stuff

Showing 2 of 7

Steak value

The steak promotions are repeatedly described as unusually good value, including four Australian ribeyes with unlimited fries for AED 200.

Fries refills

Unlimited fries are a genuine part of the appeal; one table enjoyed the mild spicy version enough to request two refills.

Wagyu sharer plate Net +1

“A gem of a place, it hits that rare combination of good food, value and service. It may be a little out of the way and parking will be an issue as with a lot of places in Dubai. Anyway the food is great, probably the best priced Wagyu in Dubai? Nice staff if a little overworked but that's management and standard Dubai cost cutting these days. Go there and get the Wagyu sharer plate, great value dinner for four. I found the ambience to be just right not pretentious like a lot of Dubai is. And didn't seem to be full of will instagrammer Wannabees. Good solid date bet, I hope they keep up the standard and don't slide like a lot of places do.. Will definitely return soon. Wanna give props the to the wonderful African gentleman who looked after our group!”

The Bottom Line

Thea Restaurant and Café is an all-day restaurant in Thea - Dubai Design District, with a strong following for steak dinners and unhurried breakfasts. The headline draw is the steak-and-fries promotion: reviews mention ribeye, Australian ribeye and Wagyu options served with unlimited fries. Breakfast has its own appeal, particularly the flaky croissant, eggs Benedict and French toast.

The setting is chic, minimalist and cozy rather than overly showy. Indoor and outdoor seating makes it suitable for a quiet coffee, brunch or a larger family meal, and several reviewers found the atmosphere comfortable enough to linger. Matcha drinks, including strawberry, vanilla and caramel versions with alternative milks, are another recurring reason to visit.

Service is usually described as attentive, welcoming and professional, though it is not consistently fast. One table waited a long time for additional steaks even when the restaurant was quiet, so allow some breathing room if you are ordering for a group. Steak doneness was generally handled well, but one diner found a steak chewy and another noticed later servings were saltier.

Parking can also be difficult in the Design District. Finally, check which promotion is currently running: reported prices vary, and extra sauce has been charged separately.
