What to Eat at Twine Restaurant 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 Twine Restaurant, 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 Twine Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Pizza pepperoni Net −1
“Nothing to do with mediterranean food - disgusted about the cheap ketchup in my Risotto for 95AED and my friend’s Pizza Pepperoni similarly priced. Nothing is quality. The Pizza tasted like from a small town train station, cheap, hard, loveless. The Risotto was really the worst I have ever eaten, and this is not an exaggeration.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Breakfast. Ask what is on the breakfast menu that day, since one reviewer says it changes daily.
Try Linguini. The seafood linguini is a useful main to consider: it comes with seafood, creamy pink sauce and parmesan.
Consider Set Menu. For a team or group dinner, ask about the set menu; one review found its courses generous without being overwhelming.
Bring The Kids. Families may want to ask about the entertaining children’s area, which was specifically mentioned by a diner.
Allow Time. Build in extra ordering time or visit outside a busy period, since one diner reported a 30-minute wait before ordering.
Expect Portions. If you have a large appetite, check pasta portion sizes when ordering; one review described them as small but filling.

The Bottom Line
Twine is a Mediterranean restaurant in Trade Centre that suits relaxed dinners, breakfast and group meals. You can order pizza, pasta, seafood linguini, grilled salmon or a Gyros Chicken Sandwich, then finish with desserts such as tiramisu, mille-feuille or a chocolate brownie. The menu draws on Spanish, Italian and Greek influences rather than sticking to one narrow regional style.
Breakfast is a genuine draw in the reviews. Guests mention fresh, hot preparation, carefully cooked eggs and a menu that changes daily. The setting is another strength: expect cosy, stylish decor and a peaceful, polished atmosphere.
Families may appreciate the children’s entertaining area, while a reviewed set menu worked well for a team dinner, with generous but manageable portions and well-presented courses. Service is usually described as warm, efficient and attentive, with staff checking in without being intrusive. There is one clear caution: a diner reported waiting 30 minutes just to order and criticised a 95AED risotto and similarly priced pepperoni pizza for poor quality.
Another reviewer found the pasta portion small. The overall feedback is strongly positive, but checking the day’s breakfast or menu options and allowing a little time during busy periods would be sensible.
