Dubai Hills Dining Guide

The Best Restaurants in Dubai Hills

Dubai Hills looks like a pure residential community, all villas, parkland and a golf course, so the dining surprises people. Tucked into its Business Park are a Michelin-starred restaurant and three Bib Gourmands, which makes this quiet suburb a real dining destination for anyone in the city.

We rated the area S to C on the food and the value, with no paid placements, and checked every Michelin claim against the live guide. The destination cooking sits in the Business Park, the everyday dining is the mall and the golf club, and the split between them runs through this guide. This is the estate-wide view; for the mall food court specifically, see our dedicated Dubai Hills Mall guide.

As cravd testers rate these in the app, their honest tiers show up here too.

This area guide earns its S honestly: Avatara holds a retained Michelin star. The A tier is Michelin's own Bib Gourmand value mark (DUO, REIF, Revelry). A C is a spot where the view and the setting are most of the bill, which is the golf-club story here. There is no D, because nothing on this list is a poor meal.

    Avatara

    Dubai Hills Business Park

    A retained Michelin star and the world's only Michelin-starred all-vegetarian Indian restaurant. One multi-course tasting menu that turns Indian vegetarian cooking into real theatre. The reason Dubai Hills is on the city's food map.

    DUO Gastrobar

    Dubai Hills Business Park

    A Michelin Bib Gourmand, which is the guide's own mark for great food at a fair price. Modern cooking with Asian and European accents, and a signature oxtail pie that regulars come back for. The best value-for-quality in Dubai Hills.

    REIF Japanese Kushiyaki

    Dubai Hills Business Park

    Chef Reif Othman's casual kushiyaki counter, a Bib Gourmand doing smoky skewers and modern Japanese small plates. Serious cooking from a big-name chef at relaxed prices.

    Revelry

    Dubai Hills

    A Bib Gourmand Indian spot with a fully licensed bar, doing bold, modern Indian plates in a lively room. A fun, well-priced night out that the Michelin inspectors rated for value.

    Hillhouse Brasserie

    Dubai Hills Golf Club

    The clubhouse all-day brasserie, international comfort food and steaks on a terrace over the course. Polished and pleasant, and a chunk of the appeal is the green and the setting.

    Al Beiruti

    Authentic Lebanese and Middle Eastern done well, mezze, grills and fresh bread in a comfortable community setting. A reliable, good-value neighbourhood table away from the Michelin rooms.

    The Tap House

    Dubai Hills (near the Business Park)

    A licensed community gastropub with pub plates, screens and a terrace. A dependable local for a casual drink and a bite, with no fine-dining pretensions.

  8. B · Good

    Eataly

    Dubai Hills Mall

    The Italian marketplace in the mall is the estate's best everyday sit-down, with fresh pasta, a cheese room and a terrace. The destination of the mall itself, covered in full in our Dubai Hills Mall guide.

  9. C · Fine

    The Duck Hook

    Dubai Hills Golf Club

    A British gastropub at the clubhouse with fish and chips, a Sunday roast and Burj Khalifa views from the terrace. The food is fine, and the views, the happy hour and the clubhouse vibe are most of what the bill buys. It lands here on value.

    The Business Park is the real destination

    Everything that makes Dubai Hills a dining destination sits in one unglamorous office cluster, the Business Park. Avatara is the headline: a retained Michelin star and the world's only Michelin-starred all-vegetarian Indian restaurant, built around a single multi-course tasting menu that treats Indian vegetarian cooking as fine dining. It is worth the drive from anywhere in the city.

    Alongside it, DUO Gastrobar and REIF Japanese Kushiyaki both hold Bib Gourmands, Michelin's mark for great food at a fair price, and Revelry adds a third for modern Indian. Four Michelin-recognised kitchens in one business park is a remarkable thing for a suburb, and it is the heart of this guide.

    Everyday dining: the mall and the golf club

    Outside the Business Park, Dubai Hills eats like the comfortable community it is. The golf club clubhouse has Hillhouse Brasserie for an all-day meal with a course view, and The Duck Hook for pub food and Burj Khalifa sunsets. Both are pleasant, and both lean on the setting.

    The mall covers the rest, anchored by Eataly, with a full spread of family and chain dining we rate in detail in our Dubai Hills Mall guide. For the neighbourhood everyday, Al Beiruti and The Tap House round out the casual options.

    Where the value really is

    The value story in Dubai Hills is the Bib Gourmands. DUO Gastrobar and REIF give you Michelin-verified cooking at mid-range prices, which is the best quality-for-money in the area by a distance. If you want the top of the range, Avatara's tasting menu is the splurge that justifies itself.

    The golf-club rooms are where the setting does the pricing. The Duck Hook is fine for a pint and a view, and it sits at C because you are paying mostly for the terrace, the views and the clubhouse feel. The same view-tax runs through our restaurants with a view guide.

    Is Dubai Hills worth the trip for food?

    For the Business Park, yes, without hesitation. A Michelin star and three Bib Gourmands in one cluster would be a strong showing for a whole district, let alone a quiet residential one, so Avatara, DUO and REIF are all worth a dedicated trip.

    Beyond those, Dubai Hills is a comfortable community that eats well without a deep independent restaurant scene of its own, and that is a fair way to plan a visit. Come for the Michelin cooking, and treat the mall and golf club as the convenient everyday around it. For more of the city, see our wider Dubai guide.
