Karak House is an absolute gem! The food is consistently delicious, and the service is fantastic. Bahjat, in particular, really stands out with his warm hospitality—he makes you feel welcome and valued from the moment you walk in. The saffron cake and kinder cookies are to die for, and you can't miss the halloumi with dried tomatoes; it's simply the BEST! Plus, the karak chai is the best I've ever had. The clean, cozy decor and the option for indoor and outdoor seating make it a perfect spot to relax. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and say hi to Bahjat!

One of the best bfast restaurants in downtown Dubai. Our server Sunil was great and looked after us very well. Keep up the great service. Will be back soon.

Had breakfast quite early. The surrounding zone is pleasant and the food is nice and priced reasonably. I had the karak and, although I'm not very used to the flavour profile, it was quite good. Staff is also very attentive and our server Alisha, in particular, was very pleasant.

I had a relaxing dinner at Karak House. After Kim welcomed me and described some of the in-house specialties, she left me time to study the extensive menu. I went with the grilled meat platter and an extra side salad. The food was freshly prepared and served out on the terrace. The shrimp, lamb and chicken were all nicely spiced (not too hot) and served with a soothing mint yogurt sauce. The meats were juicy and flavorful. The salad was a crisp romaine with multi-colored cherry tomatoes, pomegranate kernels, dressed with a light seasoning with a lemon juice and olive....perfect in my opinion. My server Kim was attentive and checked in on me in a professional manner. The restaurant and staff have a positive energy that makes you feel welcome. I will return often as the menu has many interesting salads, breakfast options and mains I'd like to try. Visit for fresh, well prepared, whole real food on the Blvd served in a friendly, pleasant space.

I had the pleasure of visiting Karak House for the first time on Saturday morning, 26 April 2025, for breakfast with my two kids, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! The ambience was simply wonderful, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable meal. We indulged in a variety of delicious dishes, including the mouth-watering Nutella Pancake , perfectly cooked Fried Eggs with Arabic bread, mushrooms, labneh, and baked beans on the side, as well as a fluffy Omelette. And let's not forget their amazing saffron chai – it was a true delight! Every item was excellent, and the flavors were spot on. A huge shoutout to Ms. Mars, who was incredibly kind and joyful. She interacted with my kids and made sure they were well looked after, adding a personal and heartwarming touch to our visit. I can't wait to visit again and highly recommend Karak House for a fantastic breakfast experience!

We came here for lunch once during our stay in Dubai and we were kindly welcomed by Aisha. She was friendly and kept on checking on us to make sure we were happy with our order and didn't need anything. The karak tea was nice and the bites we tried were very tasty too. Good portions for the price. It was a shame we didn't have time to visit more than once, as I would definitely recommend this place.
