Where to eat near Al Mamzar in Dubai for seafood, pizza, Arabic food and desserts?

In September 2026 a hotel guest reported that the 8th-floor restaurant was now open only on Fridays and Saturdays; she estimated the hotel at about 60% occupancy, with no queues. If you plan to dine at the hotel's restaurants, check the current schedule on site.

According to a traveler's tip in late August 2026, there is a pizzeria opposite the neighbouring hotel, and a little further on is the Al Hebba promenade with plenty of restaurants.

For seafood, the same August 2026 tip says to walk the other way: past the small Mamzar café to the mosque, and behind it is Estakouza, described as an excellent seafood restaurant. Next to it is Nabeel Sweets, praised for its excellent coffee and sweets.

Another option for fish lovers is a huge seafood restaurant right on the roundabout opposite the hotel, mentioned in late August 2026 — handy if you do not want to walk far.

Al Tarbouch Al Soory Restaurant, according to a mid-August 2026 review, is opposite the hotel on the left-hand side, a five-minute walk away. It also has a children's play area, which makes it convenient for families. That month other travelers mentioned that a Lebanese restaurant had also been highly recommended to them.

As for the hotel's own dining, a July 2026 review described the main restaurant as small but cosy, with mostly modern Middle Eastern music that adds intimacy and atmosphere. The à la carte restaurant is simple, but everything is tasty.

For Arabic food, Sultan Al Arab Restaurant in Al Qusais was recommended in June 2026: according to the review, the food is very tasty, it stays open until about 3 am, and there is even a metre-long serving.
