    The Ambience and the food both were amazing... Staff need a little smile or happiness within them then I guess the whole experience would have been the best (we visited during no customer time during the day, still they sounded n looked Soo dull n limited to work)

    This cafe is so Instagrammable and they have amazing coffee and their tea is nice. When I visited for the first time I felt like I'm not supposed to come and be in this cafe, idk but the staff were not very friendly to me and my friend maybe because we are asian and they are used to have arabs as guests. Idk but it was really awkward, so please I hope the whole team will try to not discriminate their guests next time. Well, I visited for the second time, and it was the same welcome hahaha where I just shrugged my shoulder and proceed to place my order with all these awkwardness your team was radianting upon me. Despite all of these, I'm giving this cafe 3 stars and I will keep on coming back to see any improvements lol

    Loved the ambience!! A very instagrammable cafe. I booked a table for my wife's birthday and they decorated the table with petals, cake, bouquet (separately charged). You can customize the arrangements according to your budget. Its better to book everything atleast 2 days in advance. Perfect place to celebrate any occasion. Everything was perfectly done! The Red velvet cake was really tasty and it looked very beautiful! The bouquet was well made! Highly recommended!

    Need more staffs, and management must train the employees how to communicate to customer. Eating and chewing food and talk to customer is not a good ettiquet as a waiter. Your cafe is elegant and not cheap, so must the employee do.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting a truly exceptional place that I simply must recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and impressive environment. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the lovely ambience and unique aesthetic that made every corner of this venue incredibly Instagram-worthy. The attention to detail in the decorations was simply stunning, with both indoor and outdoor areas that were all beautifully designed. Of course, what truly sets this place apart is the quality of the food. Despite being a private party, the staff were more than accommodating in customizing the menu to our tastes, and every dish we tried was simply delicious. It's clear that the chefs here take great pride in their craft and are committed to using only the finest ingredients. What's more, if you're looking to host a special event, this venue is more than capable of accommodating up to 50 guests. Whether it's a corporate function or a family gathering, you can rest assured that you and your guests will be well taken care of. Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this venue and can't recommend it highly enough. The staff were friendly, supportive, and clearly dedicated to providing a truly exceptional experience. If you're looking for a memorable and impressive location for your next event or simply want to enjoy some fantastic food in a unique and beautiful environment, this is the place for you.

    Iove breakfast here. The English breakfast is amazing and we love everything about it. Also, the atmosphere is really nice and the decor of the place is good too. I highly recommend breakfast here.

  • 4/5 Laila A. 5 years ago on Google • 65 reviews
    Nice atmosphere very nicely decorated. Staff very tentative. Food price is a bit expensive, food taste is average but good overall. I liked the pasta. Beryani was spiced. The coffee was amazing. I gave 4 stars only to food prices.

  • 3/5 Ayeza A. 3 years ago on Google • 49 reviews
    The food was good and the ambiance was very well decorated.. the food prices was high wid many hidden charges such as we ordered omelets and they charge extra for adding onion and cheese.. can some one please let is there any omelette widout vegetables and 70 dhs breakfast plus 15 dhs for vegetables was not worth.. the waiter was blank abt the menu.. the bill was added my extra items which was already a part of the breakfast. By chance we checked the bill and came to know we are charged 100/- dhs extra.. the waitress went four tyms back and we got 4 bills afters editing.. that was frustrating...

    Ordered eggs Benedict by phone, arrived there and it was ready it give it a 3/5 because it has green pepper and I don't eat that. Overall Service: 5/5 Food representation: 5/5 Quality of food: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value for money: 4/5

  • 2/5 Zarouni A. 8 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    Ownership has changed affecting the quality and have downsized and limited their items on the menu. Also prices were relatively high. But ofcourse the atmosphere was quiet and beautiful.

  • 4/5 Archana Joyce (. 5 years ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Coffee is barely decent. Concept cakes are fun. Food is tasty. If you have read the book, you'll see that the theme is continued in small details and that is great. Staff are super friendly and plenty of different seating to choose from.

  • 1/5 Salma Al b. 4 years ago on Google
    Not recommended! I went there few days back with my friends and celebrated a birthday one of them, we we're sitting at the swing table, the ambience is so cool, quiet and relaxing sounds. Their varieties looks so good when you take a look at the instagram, its mouth watering, but at that day as we only celebrate a birthday we bought a red velvet cake mary linox, the cake can't even cut by a steel knife, it is totally hard and the waitres told me that its fresh and came out from freezer, how come on earth fresh and kept it on freezer and directly sell to customer? I can't even amagine. And the waitres looks annoyed although i dont show her any anger, but just bcoz i complain! Thats not a proper manner to face complaints or any negative feed back from customers. Better not to come again.

    The Secret Garden Café Ajman A picture perfect place to pass time with your loved ones and have amazing selfies to memorialize the experience but there is a catch, remember not to expect food quality equivalent to the ambiance of the café as the greater you expect more likely increasingly disappointed one will be. I visited the café on 14 FEB 2020 on the day of love to celebrate and have dinner with my kids and a newlywed couple. Ambiance of the café was more like as if it had been decorated for a photo-shoot, wonderfully lighted with different theme in every corner. The sitting inside and out cozy, comfortable and exquisite. Love theme also implemented in a graceful way so not to look too red or over rated. Service of the café was lacking the speed as well as welcoming note. I have to as ring bell and ask for menu 03 times and for ordering it took waitress 15-20 minutes to show up after our call. We also observed a customer complaining about an order of cake which was messed up by café staff. Food quality was disappointing and accuracy of order was also not precise. We ordered 04 main dishes and 01 appetizers, the serving also took long time and only at the time of serving the waitress told us that one of the main dishes we ordered is not there so choose another. Lasagna although a well sized portion was served and garnished beautifully but lacked the wetness of meat as well as creamy cheesy taste of white sauce. Only 2 stars out of 5. Shrimp biryani served hot and nicely sealed with dough but was the worst of all. The cashews were over roasted to almost burned, quality of rice used were the foulest I have seen in any of the nice restaurants. These were clinging together which is a BIG NO for any rice dish and especially when it comes to biryani. However, the shrimp was fresh and cooked fine. Only 1 star out of 5 that too for shrimp only. Pesto pasta with penne was the only dish we finished. The chef was generous with pesto paste and it tasted fresh and superb. The quantity, quality and garnishing was up to mark. 5 out of 5 for this dish. French fries we fine but I would give credit to potatoes only since there is nothing one can do to mess the fries. The bill was incorrect as the dish not served was also included. Although the same was not paid but staff overlooked and presented incorrect bill. The restaurant is definitely not kids friendly as staff was unable to hand out any red balloons to the kids despite of the fact that on valentine’s day the same should have been and were there. I really loved the ambiance and want the place to improve the kitchen and staff as customers come here for food and time, the ambiance although important is only an add on and won’t guarantee repeated visits.

    Beautiful beautiful beautiful cafe. The name The Secret Garden is beautifully displayed in the cafe. The ambience the decorations the food everything was so amazing. I was given a surprise birthday party at the cafe. Everything was so beautiful with roses flowers all over the place. Red velvet cake is a must try from this cafe. Everything was perfect. The hospitality 5 stars ⭐️ Beautiful place for the perfect date, friendly brunch and evening tea. Would recommend all couples to visit atleast once and ofcourse a perfect place to have your girl gang get together.

  • 2/5 Sana K. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered cakes and drinks which were amazing but a bit pricey. The only reason I won't visit this place again is because of the staff. They made our whole experience very awkward. They were staring at us the whole time and seemed like they are judging us. Staff needs more training or I guess need to be changed.

  • 4/5 Albertfrog 1 year ago on Google
    This is a hidden gem in Ajman! The decor is lovely and seating well spaced for these covid times. The service was friendly but ridiculously slow. Despite ordering drinks we sat waiting with nothing until the food came. We were warned the food (chicken) would take 20 mins but it took 1 hour! We had to remind them to bring the drinks. The 2 pasta dishes arrived after 20 minutes so the four of us ate separately. They weren't busy at all; only 2 other customers. The food was average price and portions modest. It was tasty though. Hindus note the chicken comes with a beef topping! My friend had to send it back - this was not stated on the menu - not good marketing. Don't think we will visit again. Plenty of other places to try and they need to work on their service.

  • 1/5 Caroline S. 1 year ago on Google
    When the 3 of us went to the cafe we thought it was closed because there was no one there they didn’t have most of the items from the menu. We ended up ordering the 3 piece cheesecake and 3 milkshakes since those were the only available items. The cheesecakes tasted at least 2-3 days old and the milkshakes were just ok. Service and staff were ok as well. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Will not be visiting again.

  • 4/5 athul s. 3 years ago on Google
    A floral ambient cafe with crafted elements of treatment specially for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries etc. Its an awesome place for meetups too with minimal menu on food and beverages. The experience was memorable. Only drawback was the waiters are not so attentive or much welcoming as we expect from a high end cafe like secret garden. Apart from that, everything was really nice

  • 1/5 Atqa H. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Food options are limited Soft drink options are only Mirinda and 7Up The menu is unclear and old The juices are only lemonade, strawberry mojito, and peach juice While what is mentioned in the menu is more than that, most of what is mentioned in the menu is not available in the restaurant. Please note that this is not the first experience with this, and customer service is slow because there are only 3 employees. When we order pink sauce pasta, they bring us white sauce pasta and tell us this is their pink sauce.

👍👍 Finally tried out this amazing @Albaik in the UAE and we absolutely loved it! The burger was unbeatable, and the chicken pieces were impeccably cooked. On top of that, the shrimp was so succulent and flavorful - definitely a must-try dish! Highly recommended for a delicious and unforgettable meal.
