Bahri

My lunch at Bahri was an exceptional experience, offering a perfect combination of breathtaking views, elegant ambiance, and exquisite flavors. Located at the iconic Jumeirah Mina A’Salam, Bahri lives up to its name, which means "seaside" in Arabic, by providing stunning panoramic views of the waterways and the Burj Al Arab. The tranquil atmosphere and sophisticated decor make it an ideal spot for a relaxed yet refined lunch. The menu at Bahri reflects a delightful fusion of Middle Eastern and international flavors. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. I started with the mezze platter, which included fresh, vibrant options like hummus, baba ghanoush, and fattoush, all bursting with flavor. For the main course, I opted for the grilled sea bass, perfectly cooked with a subtle yet flavorful marinade that complemented the fish beautifully. The lamb chops were another standout dish, tender and packed with bold, aromatic spices. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive and professional, ensuring every detail was taken care of without being intrusive. Their warm demeanor and extensive knowledge of the menu added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. What truly sets Bahri apart, however, is the view. Whether seated indoors or on the outdoor terrace, you are treated to a mesmerizing vista of the tranquil waterways and the majestic Burj Al Arab rising in the background. The setting is both peaceful and luxurious, making it a perfect escape from the bustling city. Bahri offers more than just a meal—it’s an experience that soothes the senses and elevates the spirit. Whether you’re looking for a romantic outing, a place to unwind with friends, or simply a quiet spot to enjoy fine dining, Bahri is a must-visit destination. I left feeling refreshed and eager to return for another enchanting afternoon by the water.

We wanted to go to a bar with a view and creative drinks and chose Bahri Bar. The view of Burj Al Arab is amazing from here. Abras are discreetly riding on the canal in front of the hotel. The hotel is in nice Arabic style and gives 1001 Nights impressions. Cocktails are really creative and delicious. For festive season they had a special, limited edition cocktail list which did not disappoint. The staff were very welcoming and kind. It was a little chilly in the evening and they provided a blanket upon my request. Special thanks to Zane for his professional service. After 9pm a DJ performs, but only inside and not on the terrace. If you are visiting Dubai, do not miss this bar.

I recently visited Bahri Bar, and overall, it was a great experience. The venue is beautiful with amazing views of the Burj Al Arab, and the atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing evening. The managers and staff were exceptional, providing top-notch service throughout the night. However, I have to mention the music, which was honestly disappointing. While I understand the bar has a relaxed vibe, the slow, sleepy music after sunset really kills the mood. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to sleep, and let’s be honest, no one in Dubai comes out at 7 or 8 PM to listen to that kind of music when the night is just getting started. I was hoping for something a bit more upbeat as the evening progressed. If they could improve the music to match the vibrant energy of Dubai after sunset, this place would be perfect. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic spot with great views and service.

Great vibes! Amazing views! & They let you smoke out on the terrace. The cocktails are good, but the playlist needs work. 😅

I had a very disappointing experience here on my birthday. Despite double-confirming our reservation, we were turned away upon arrival because of an event. After driving all the way from downtown, we were redirected to a nearby Italian restaurant with the promise that we would be “taken care of”—but that never happened. No special attention, no apology, and to make matters worse, they even charged us for water when we decided to leave. Extremely unprofessional and a huge letdown for a special occasion. Would not recommend.

Great location in the Jumeirah Mina A’Salam Hotel near the water with views of Burj Al Arab, and Atlantis The Royal in the backdrop. We were offered dates and coffee in the lobby on the way up. Lovely atmosphere. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed our wonderful drinks and views with friends. Great customer service.

An upscale elegant and chic bar, that serves quite an interesting and cozy drinks and bites. Great selection of drinks coupled with elevated service and views. Has indoor ad outdoor seatings that are certainly satisfying with the backdrop of the canal and Burj El Arab. Located at Mina A’ Salam JUMEIRAH Hotel, a place to be for calm and lavish evenings. Their happy hours are quite indulging but you wouldn’t want to leave the place afterwards. Great decoration and style.

My absolute favourite in Dubai. In a city of big, bold and loud, Bahri is an oasis of peace and quiet. Lovely staff, very professional and friendly, great cocktails and absolutely stunning views of the Burj Al Arab. Highly recommended for a relaxing evening by the coast. Try The Merchant cocktail.
