The Good Stuff
Quality Shisha
Reviews describe the Russian shisha as excellent, with rich smoke and flavours that can last for hours.
Turkish Breakfast
The Turkish breakfast is praised for its fresh variety, balanced flavours, generous portions and appealing presentation.
Creative Interior
Artistic details, colourful styling and photo-friendly spaces give the restaurant a distinctive visual character.
Broad Menu

Tips for a Better Visit
Choose Terrace. Ask for an outdoor terrace table if the fountain show is a priority; several reviews highlight the direct view.
Time It. For the fountain atmosphere, one regular visitor prefers coming when the fountain is performing, usually in the afternoon.
Check Prices. Confirm the shisha price before ordering because one customer found a different figure outside and inside.
Plan Drinks. If you want alcohol, plan elsewhere: a review notes that Dubai Mall does not serve alcohol.
Try Breakfast. The Turkish breakfast is a substantial option and one review says it comes with two teas.
Ask Options. If you need vegan food, ask about adaptations; one guest received sushi altered to make it vegan.

The Bottom Line
Trove is a hookah bar and restaurant in Downtown Dubai where the setting is as much part of the outing as the meal. You can come for shisha, order a Turkish breakfast, or settle in for dishes such as sushi, burgers and Dynamite Shrimps. The terrace is the main draw for many visitors, with views towards the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa.
The Turkish breakfast gets consistent praise for its generous spread, fresh ingredients and balanced flavours, while the Russian shisha is described as smooth, rich and long-lasting. Desserts also receive specific mentions, especially the cheesecake and tiramisu. Vegan diners may be able to request adaptations, including sushi prepared without animal products.
The interior leans colourful, artistic and modern, with comfortable seating and plenty of photo-friendly corners. Service is often described as warm and attentive, although one recent visit involved a 15-minute wait and an unhelpful response to a request for cooling. Value is mixed: one customer found the food expensive, and another reported that the shisha price shown outside differed from the menu price inside.
Check pricing before ordering, and remember that alcohol is not served in Dubai Mall.
