I had my first true Emirati style breakfast at Yadoo’s Restaurant & Cafe. Yadoo’s House means ‘“grandmother’s house” which gives us  warm, welcoming, traditional environment and the staff are very accommodating too, an overall awesome experience🙏🏼

Enlist in Michelin guide 2024, I didn’t order large main dish like Briyani or Majboo, only ordered three side dishes so can try more varieties. All side dishes are in moderate prices less than 30 AED but surprisingly in quite large size.

Yadoo’s House Restaurant & Cafe is a charming family-style restaurant where you can dine in true Emirati style. The name means ‘grandmother’s house’ and that warm, welcoming, traditional environment is exactly what you’ll find here, alongside great local cuisine.

Noteworthy dishes include the various majboos (Emirati chicken rice), salona (chicken stew), and kofta offerings. However, just like an accommodating relative, you’ll find some more western dishes for the less adventurous, including pasta dishes and sandwiches. There’s even a dedicated kids’ menu.

The place was empty though we arrived at peak lunch hour
I went there after checking the Google reviews and was extremely disappointed.
The portion size was extremely small and the price was high.
Worst of all my lamb maghbi came with a foul smell and with mostly fat covered in it.
It was also tasteless.
When asked they said they make the best maghbis!!!
I left the food untouched and left the restaurant.
Totally not recommend it!
