    Love all, serve all. A visit to any city isn’t complete without a visit to their local Hard Rock Cafe. Oozes feel good moods and one of the friendliest staff I’ve ever interacted with. Always there to make you feel welcome and helped. Had the Legendary burger 🍔 and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a very long time. The food was great, the drinks were equally great. A visit to this place is not complete without a quick visit to their gift shop to get cool Hard Rock Cafe swag and souvenirs at pocket friendly rates. But my favorite part is usually checking out their collection of past and present stars outfits and instruments 🥁🎸. Totally recommended, a place to have a good time with friends and family over good food, drinks and hard rock music.

    Had a great time at the Hard Rock Cafe while wheeling around Festival City in Dubai. The service was great and the food was really good. The atmosphere and environment was like none other. If you have not been to the Hard Rock Cafe or Festival City I recommend you add it to your list of stops and I find it hard to believe that you will be disappointed.

    One of my favorite places for lunch or dinner. I've tried many of the food options and none of them disappoints. I usually go for the steak, and I would say that they're among the best for their price-range. The atmosphere is memorable and its worth going when the live-band is playing in the evenings for the best experience. The staff are very friendly and quite efficient. Based on my experiences, I would say you're more than likely to leave this place with a smile!

    It is always a great time at Hard Rock Cafe. Last week we visited them to try the new limited-edition Messi burger and other signature dishes and it didn’t disappoint us. Good food and drinks, lively atmosphere, amazing live music and great service.

    From exquisite souvenir shop which is located at the entrance and consists magnets, T-shirts, tumblers etc., to astounding live performance which happens throughout the weekend and weekdays, from scrumptious and filling meal portions to real belongings of several music artists, Hard rock cafe has it all to cater your dining and entertainment needs. Moreover, conveniently located within the boundary of Festival city with ample parking available on the spot. Humble and cooperative staff. Two thumbs up.

    It's always great to visit this place. Old is gold. Honestly, food isn't as it was before or at least for me, but overall experience is great. The place e is still amazing , and the atmosphere is super , people engaging with the music band and singing along. The staff is amazing , super quick , fun, and amazing. This is located in Festival City Mall , yet you can not reach it from the inside mall and have a special entrance outside. Taxi drop off is straight on the door. The place has a shop if you love to collect hard rock accessories and brands. The sweets are amazing and had a great molten cake . My preference is burgers and ribs, while for starters, go with the buffalo wings, and if you love chicken, straight with Fajita. Place is super clean, and music is amazing , never loud or annoying, and they allow kids in in non smoking areas. What catches my eye is the fun bday celebrations the staff performs with a naughty cake ending.

    Very nice place to have dinner and drink with your children. Kids can stay up until 10 pm. Nachos is the best with a big serving. Chicken fajita, grilled chicken quesadilla with melted cheese, smoked beef brisket are so soft. The best staff. My son celebrated his birthday and for the 1st time, he enjoyed much. Music is great. Pizza 🍕 is also good. 👌

    Hard Rock Cafe at Festival was amazing. This was my first time in this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Let’s start off with the atmosphere since that was the thing that drew us in. There was a live band playing and it was great. Loud enough to enjoy but not damage your ears. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I felt like the food took a little long to arrive but it was a busy night. The food was delicious. We enjoyed every last bit of it. This was truly a great experience. The bill did include a tip; though I’m not sure if that was a mandatory tip or not.

  • 4/5 Sanni T. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here to catch up with a long-time friend and we chose the place just because we're curious. Food - 5/5 Taste is good. We ordered steak salad and shrimps. The portion is also commensurate of the price. Location - 3/5 The place is difficult to access. I went through the front entrance and the security said we should access Hard Rock from the mall. So again, I returned to the main road and I went inside the mall. Such a hustle. Staff - 5/5 Great staff. They can be quite difficult to call on to once the band or the music started the playing.

  • 4/5 Ruchika T. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and ambience here are fantastic! Plenty of memorabilia to browse through, great bands to sing along to and lots of space. Especially liked the fact that smoking is not allowed inside and that a separate area has been allotted for smokers :) The only disadvantage is the cost, but it's worth it for the experience! We had 1) The Mixed Barbeque with chicken, beef and lamb; it was extremely good! Beautiful skin-on fries, coleslaw and beans completed the meal. 2) Southwestern spring rolls, a nice vegetarian option with crispy well seasoned rolls with a delicious filling on a bed of lettuce and sauce to accompany. 3) The drinks served were juust right. The servers here are friendly and prompt. Special thanks to Ali!

    Haaa, one the best place to have a good steak in Dubai, big party, fun evening and to hear a really good music! Highly recommended! They have a branch in Terminal 3 as well. So, my advice to come to airport earlier, to have have time to visit this place also) By the way, they serve the best steak salad!

  • 5/5 Post-training C. 2 years ago on Google
    A five all day! By far one of the best experiences i have in the UAE. I am nit sure if this branch always has a live band performing, but i was lucky enough to enjoy my favorite genre of music lively performed by a wonderful couple. The place is huge, and before getting to the restaurants there are exclusive hard rock items you can buy. The restaurant is so spacious with high ceilings. The waiters are very friendly and enthusiastic. We ordered a steak salad, a signature hard rock burger, and topped this with a huge dessert at the end. The meat served in the burger and salad was exquisite! This place is a must one you re around dubai

    Been here 2 weekends in a row this month. I like how wholesome it is. Family’s are welcome to celebrate and sing along. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because the person who answer the phone for reservation gave us the wrong information— on Fridays it usually full-house so i called them for a reservation and the one who answered the phone said “no need for reservation, you can come” when we did, a queue was there and we waited for awhile, i don’t want my 53 year old Mom standing and waiting. Nevertheless, we had fun ☺️ and shoutout for the generous manager of hardrock for giving us a good Esaad discount ❤️❤️❤️ Get the tacos and strawberry drink, it’s amaaazing! 🤤 Band was amazing!

    We celebrated my friend's birthday here recently and it was really a fun night. The whole place is kinda quiet as we went there around 7pm. The staffs are very accommodating and they are quick to attend our needs. Their one serving size is quite big for one person but it was good enough for me and my friend. The place is so calm but it's kinda dark inside. But overall it's a great place to hang out and chill.

    Great food and vibe of the place. Loved the live performances and staff was efficient. Since it is based out of a mall I.e. Festival City so there’s ample parking space available. There’s a merchandise shop at the entrance just like other hard rock cafes around the world.

    The restaurant was a fun night out with a really good singer. The entertainment along with the large servings makes for a great night out. The staff really helped us celebrate my friends birthday. The portions were large and fresh I had a great steak salad with a shared entree. We got entertainer discount which was a bonus.

    A lot of nostalgia in this place for me, but the food was pretty rocking, and the different combos and offers provided by the restaurant meant everyone on the table left full and happy with a wide ranging sample of the restaurants cuisine.

Thank you Hard Rock and i wish i can host more days and fun at your place with some Karaoke nights ??????? Yallaaa !!! Keep it Rockin ???? Bassam

  • 3/5 Dr Fahima A. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is nice but service and employees are not attentive and not professional We ordered sharing platters and they put for all small plate as in pictures. They do not even know the food they are serving. Male staff a bit better than female staff. Even tissue are not provided. No hygenic approach can be seen.

  • 5/5 Lowell ryan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Most orders are good for two so 👍👍 but the taste is nothing extra ordinary though. The ambience is great, vibes is ecstatic and very spacious. Free parking is far, parking in front pays aed50 😬. But All in all, not a bad experience and we had a great time⭐️

  • 5/5 Alex PC T. 1 year ago on Google
    Music is Great, Food is even better. Held a christmas party here and the staff as well as the ambience is great. There is an available place for 30 pax seating where you can have your programs, company events. Downstairs, the live band and a private dinner is where the money is. All in all, a great experience, highly recommended and will sure to come back with my other friends!

  • 5/5 Claire G. 8 months ago on Google
    So, I met up with an old acquaintance here for dinner! The ambience was truly amazing. We were serenaded by the wonderful Harris! Enjoyed the food. True to what Hard Rock Cafe is all about. A must visit if you're with family or friend.

  • 4/5 Grazeekoy 8 months ago on Google
    I was disappointed with food as it didn't taste that good. So I won't recommend the burgers that we tried. Steak is good, but mashed potato is not. The price as well is too much for the quality of taste. Performer is not good as well. Other than that, the service is great!

  • 5/5 Susana M. 7 months ago on Google
    I had an exceptional experience at the Hard Rock Café in Dubai. From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and energetic staff set the tone for a memorable visit. The menu's diverse selection of mouthwatering dishes left me spoilt for choice, and the attention to detail in every aspect, from food presentation to service, was truly commendable. Without a doubt, the Hard Rock Café in Dubai exceeded my expectations and left me eagerly anticipating my next visit.

    HARD ROCK CAFE - melting your heart with its plentiful flavors and fun atmosphere! The music is amazing, the service is spectacular, the burgers are fantastic, the quesadillas are juicy, their wings are tasty, their fries are crunchy with a twist!

    Great place to chill with family and friends. Food was good.. superb ambience with live music.. just felt the service could've been better. We had to call/ask many times for their service or even for them to get our orders. Except that we enjoyed the evening.. and would love to try out other dishes as well.
