Ate here on the 3rd night of our stay at the zabeel saraay - the staff are fabulous and cannot do enough to ensure you have a good time - We ate on the half board option and were a little confused at first by the small menu & then realised that we were getting everything!! you get small bowls...

Amala boasts of a very unconventional system of serving. It is part-buffet, part-a la carte, a fixed price menu...Interesting isn't it? this is their Unique Selling Point. You can order for any or every item on the menu any number of times for a fixed price of Aed 285 per head. Beverages are not inclusive. Nevertheless, this spares you the... More

This was my first visit to this restaurant. Let me not talk about the ambiance and environment of this high end Dubai outlet and focus on the food and service. The food was very good...you rarely get this kind of flavour and taste outside India... we tried most of the non-veg starters which were rather good, excepting the fish, which... More

This was by far the best Indian restaurant that I have been to. The service is top notch complimented by good food. It's a tasting menu so there is ample choice. We had asked for a selection of the best of amala and it was great. Sarin and team were great and accommodated all our requests. We are very difficult... More

Our 1st visit in October 2012 was out of this world and whilst our experience in February was still good it didn't match up to our first visit and it's difficult to put a finger on exactly why........ We once again had the "all inclusive" menu at AED 285, the food was plentiful and the service attentive without being OTT.... More

If we were to write a short review it would read - "SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD!" However, the restaurant is so good that a short review would simply not do it justice. Let's start with the location. Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is located on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. This is from the mainland... More
