Something is terribly wrong at this place, really! Just avoid, go somewhere to get value back for your money.. this place is a complete rip off, a fraud really! We were 6 on a table on ladies night (Wednesday) the moment we sat they told us the minimum spend is 2,500AED!!!!!!!! Per table, which I honestly believe is BS because it just doesnt make sense… the waiters are super rude, and they keep bouncing asking you to order more, and kept telling us if you keep your ordering pace you will never reach 2,500AED, they keep getting you stuff without you even ordering! At the end we paid 2,500AED and were not able to make use of the whole amount of money no matter what we ordered… Really, save your money and dignity and go somewhere worth your money! Nothing special in this place, except full of Arabs.. sound system is bad, no corona measures whatsoever the place was full, food is not really that wow. To summarize: a rip off, the rudest treatment you will ever get, disrespectful, no value for money, a below average place with an extremely overpriced rates. I just wish to know if there was actually a minimum spend of 2,500AED per table for all tables, or we have been ripped off! I ask the management of this gloomy place to get in touch. And just to clarify: i dont care about how much money we paid honestly if it was justified, but when i feel i was ripped off and my money was stolen, i get very upset…

Huge disappointment ! Bad service، not comfortable seats and small tables, did not feel safe and comfortable to see they load 12 persons in a space designed for 6 max. We were not able to see any show due to the tables design Although we booked and requested for a good table but the given one was the worst. The way they managed our claim is also the worst. Food, below the average and I did not even touch. We had to have dinner after having leaft the place and spent a good amount for nothing. First time and surely last time.

(Translated by Google) We contacted to reserve a table for two people and the response was that the number should be at least four people or pay 2000 dirhams as a minimum.. As per the venue policy. A strange policy that the most luxurious restaurants in Dubai are ashamed of applying. Prove that the negative comments about you are true.

too much attitude without delivering. They really don’t care about their guests. food was below average! will not recommend... really felt like a cash cow.

(Translated by Google) Good place for entertainment (Original) مكان جيد للتسليه

The food at Antika is consistently great. I’ve dined here 3 times and I’ve never been disappointed. If you want Lebanese, make sure you pay this place a visit. Prior to covid they had a stage where performers would entertain the patrons. I hope that’ll come back. Now they have an outdoor area as well. It’s getting hot outside but perhaps late at night it’s still nice to enjoy the night outdoors and smoke some Shisha

A mid scale place which has a very entertaining atmosphere. Excellent DJ if you like the old Lebanese songs or if you grew up in the levant in the seventies or eighties. The singer Fadi Harb was amazing. Sang all the trending songs and was extremely interactive. The food was OK and the staff was very friendly. They had a belly dancer who completed the whole middle Eastern experience. Will definitely come back during my next trip.

A great atmosphere! The DJ is one of the best dj’s I’ve ever seen. Wonderful service I celebrated my 1st anniversary here🌸 Although the bathrooms need a little bit more cleaning But overall i loved the place, definitely coming back again✔️

We went on ladies night and were charged 2 times more than we were supposed to. The waiter gave us a hand written receipt which was unprofessional and brought the card machine to take payment straight away. They called to ask about our visit and told them what happened and they said they will get back to us and no did till now Will never recommend or go back unfortunately..

It's a perfect place to make indoor parties.... Especially for Korean, Japanese and Chinese.... Good ambiance, service and etc:-

They have the best hummus and tabouleh. Very creamy and I love their vibes.

Its been a long time since we had good times enjoying the entertainment and listening to our beloved singers! Went on Thursday night we had so much fun 😍 cant wait to our normal life to go back and we dance freeee again

Very expensive place with very poor menu .. No food varieties, the beverage menu only espresso and alcohol..and they charge a high minimum for what!! Okay at least put some options in the menu to enjoy the stay. Unprofessional.

(Translated by Google) The Lebanese woman who responds to the reservations, if there are two Gulf countries, says there are no tables and no reservations, and you pay 2000 dirhams, I never know why.

(Translated by Google) I was thinking about booking today, but the comments are mostly negative, not encouraging going to it 😢 (Original) كنت افكر الحجز اليوم لكن التعليقات معظمها سلبيه لا تشجع الذهاب اليه 😢

(Translated by Google) Very bad restaurant, takes advantage of tourists and forces them to pay exorbitant prices for very poor food. Very bad treatment from the restaurant managers. I do not recommend it!! (Original) مطعم سيء جدًا، يستغل السائح ويفرض عليه دفع اسعار خيالية مقابل طعام رديء جدًا. معاملة سيئة للغاية من مديري المطعم. لا انصح به!!

Antika is one of the nice places in Dubai for arabic music, drinks and food. Great for groups. The food is okay, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. DJ with live performances always making good vibes.

We booked in advance and reached on time, very busy location, needs extra time to reach the place, paid valet parking is available. We got seated straight away, the whole place is small and tables are cramped, due to the design of the place, very few tables get proper view of the small stage. Our booking was without a minimum charge, but that didn’t prevent the waiter to try to trick us that we didn’t reach our minimum when we asked for the bill, it required some reminding and showing the msgs to prove that. Food quality are average, drinks are average and over all, it was over priced for the place. Didn’t like some of the crowd, but that just a personal opinion. Will I go again?! Probably not.

Super positive

I did not like the service nor the staff, very rude and not professional at all

Terrible service, staff and food !

Over crowded small place and too expensive for the quality of service

One of the worst experiences ever in dubai , called for pre booking and they confimed on the availability for space , once i arrived there no space to step on even non space to put ash try Receptionist was try to ask 2 guests to leave because they were not pay the fees which gave me impression that there a lot of discrepancy over there I decided to leave and there is no apologise from the receptionist Im not sue if the place was designed to received multinational guests or it Lebanese oriented only

No need to say anything. Madam is great and professional. You can choose some nice girls and enjoy the night together at any time.

Avoid like the plague. I would give zero stars if possible. The equipment doesn’t work properly. Manager is worthless. We called twice before coming to confirm the price. We asked for the bill and it was 1000dhs more than it was previously communicated. If you enjoy paying a high price for a disgusting bar..go on!

They have the best lebanese food. The atmosphere and the band were amazing. I highly recommend them to redesign the tables.

The music was way too loud, and the overall experience suffered because our group of friends were unable to talk or enjoy the evening. We were wrongly billed and they mistakenly charged us little over a AED 1000 for someone else's order. Had we not checked, we would've been ripped off. Wasn't value for money. The belly dancer was very good. Overall, not worth the value or the experience

(Translated by Google) Frankly, my experience was bad, they pushed us to the high table, double, on the grounds that there were no tables, and the intention was that they take double amounts of money. (Original) بصراحه تجربتي كانت سيئة دفعونا ع طاوله المرتفعه دبل ع اساس انه مافي طاولات و القصد ياخذون مبالغ مضاعفه

(Translated by Google) It's bad and I don't recommend going there (Original) سيء ولا انصح الذهاب أليه

(Translated by Google) It will be very highly recommended by the employees of Antica and differentiate it between customers (Original) سي جداجدا جدا من قبل الموظفين لدى انتيكا وتفرقه بين الزبائن

It might have been better before but not now. They put our group on a tight table, didn't accept to change and give us a better table as we couldn't even talk to each other due to the awkward round table in the middle, they didn't accept to remove the table to make some space, bouncer was standing on top of our table in order to not let any of our group dance while other tables danced like crazy while opening champagne bottles, so if you want to dance, expect to pay for it. Even when I stood up he asked me not to dance!!! I was just standing up. The show was nice, the food was okay, but not too great, Not a good value for money. Service was okay but we had to ask for our bill for 5 times and it never came. I'll give it two stars. There are other places that are way better now adays. They should reconsider how they treat customers.

The best Lebanese restaurant & bar you can ever go...tasty good, helpful staff,amazing DJ and wonderful Egyptian and Lebanese singers

We made booking before the date in about 3 weeks The girl at front disk put us on table at the door, Then we asked to change it and it happened. The band and dancer made great night But at the end on check out , waitress asked us to pay the minimum which os 1500sr and its over price comparing to the menu. We agreed and asked for fruit and sweet platter for 385d And they told us kitchen is closed!!! And we have to pay not less than 400d to complete the minimum charge for nothing to serve!! The nice waitress called the manager cause we asked for exception, he brought the plate without the rest of sweets included And at last we asked to take it (To Go) they said we cant!

Went there for a brunch, and for a Lebanese, it was exactly what i expected since i've tried the branch in Lebanon. There's open Lebanese mezza, music and a then come the one man show which was very cool and authentic. Brings out the nice arabic vibes! The service was very good, food was great but most importantly, the atmosphere was the most memorable. Highly recommended during a brunch 👌

Was there for a Friday night. Definitely not considering this place again. I know Antika in Lebanon for its vibrant ambience, i wasn’t expecting to have a deadly boring music here. until 12, it was all “depressive oldies song”, then we decided to leave early to another place. Food was average, but overpriced indeed! Very small portions too. Service is below average. Also, please don’t call that Hummus+Beetroot on top a salad !!

Very nice Lebanese style restaurant with dinner show and band. The food is super good. The service is great. Shisha is great. Don’t miss the truffle potato lamp shops. Usually the minimum spend per person is 500 accept for ladies night.

Amazing arabic night life with good songs and video show no dance or dj during lockdown but they are creative making videos

The place is very nice and the food was so delicious too also, the DJ was amazing, but the service wasn’t good enough

I've been in this restaurant twice and it is always a pleasure to go to Antika! The location is unique, the Lebanese cuisine here is delicious and the quality of the food is very high. Today we also enjoyed live music and belly dancing show, I really had a great time! It's ideal for birthday parties, brunch and dinner.

We were there with friends for Friday brunch and it was great. It’s located in the heart of DIFC so super easy to reach there. Food was delicious, passion fruit mojito amazing but atmosphere was the best. Live music was great and everyone was having their best time. I will go back there to have this experience again.

We went for the Mezza monday night. The mood and vibes were amazing. Food was great and service was excellent. Open Lebanese Mezza and drinks (Arak, whiskey and wine) for 199 aed... it was worth it and highly recommended.

I love the vibe and the food , classy and entertaining place I have fun with my friends every tine we visit it

We came to the place and the lady at door told us we could only get a table if we pay minimum 600AED pP. Not included nargila and drinks. Not nice way to greed foreigners

Nice and cosy. Singer’s voice is very good, the choice of songs can be better. Food quality is good but quantity is less than what’s expected vs. What you pay.

What can i say about this place? Rudeness overloaded from the staff at the entrance she was a lady with absolutely no hospitality for visitors Its sad that a nice place like antika bar to have such people to work and welcome guests Other than that the food i should say is delicious

Noisy and kitch

(Translated by Google) Too much attitude without a sense of hospitality; this is an overrated place! The gentleman supposed to be the manager didn't even dare to smile and couldn't even handle us leaving the place unsatisfied with the seats which is different from what we agreed. I do not recommend it at all! He has no value in him (Original) Trop d'attitude sans sens de l'hospitalité; c'est un endroit surestimé! Le monsieur censé être le directeur n'a même pas osé sourire et ne pouvait même pas nous gérer en laissant l'endroit insatisfait des sièges, ce qui est différent de ce que nous avions convenu. Je ne le recommande pas du tout! Il n'a aucune valeur en lui

Very nice music and friendly staff

Great place for food and fun

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous (Original) رائع

very bad experience, will never visit the place again.

It was very bad sevice, we were waiting for an hour to get good table while we called and booked a table before and once one got free they gave it to others while we were the first in the queue and of course we left and no one came to apologize. Not recommended at all

Amazing

I booked a table a week before the appointment and when I arrived at the restaurant they did not enter me because one of my companions wore shorts and therefore we went back to the hotel to change and they did not clarify this matter to me before when booking or on the same day when confirming Hajj, and there is also difficulty in finding The situations and the food were very bad, tasted bad, the performances were not of high quality and they did not take into account all the tastes of singing and that you have to pay to hear what you want. The reservation was on my birthday but I didn't see any interaction from them. Bad experience I don't recommend.

5 stars for the great welcoming and service by Renon (not sure if his name is spelled like this)

The worst experience

Amazing live entertainment! Yesterday was amazing! Food is great, highly recommended!!

Friendly staff. Amazing Lebanese food!

Friendly Staff with Amazing Service and Out of this world food!!

amazing food! great shows and lovely arabic music! must visit!

DELICIOUS food!! If you want to enjoy arabic music this is the place! Live entertainment and singers all the week! Saj station and shisha on the terrace just simply amazing! thanks Antika bar!

The food is very delicious!! As well as the entertainment and terrace!

My one day experience in antika var, and it's ok not bad and specially the oner is very kind person!

Nice lounge, but crowded and small , DJ is amazing

The Bar is super amazing , the team is so lovely, and the food is perfect

Nice bar

this my work place

This hotel is very old and dirty but Korean restaurant is quite good.

Good Beer

I like to have a drink.

It’s satisfying to see a Lebanese establishment with amazing menu and great service. On top of that the staff is professional and generous. Of course the entertainment is fun and the singer is excellent.

You have to book a table, Friday 2pm to 6 or 7 not sure. Arabic Songs. Best DJ, amazing singer and belly dancer. The brunch package price is reasonable. The shisha is for 100DHS, i find it expensive especially if you want to have another one they will charge another 100 which is not good. I paid almost 500dhs. I highly recommend trying it out.

Enjoyed the place

I enjoyed 🤗🥂😍

Wonderful place to relax and listen to good music

Very good service

حلو بس غالي كثير بصراحة

I asked for juice from the menu which price 25 and he said he don't have, but he has mohijto so I ordered and on the bill i was charged for 45 and its not from the menu. The food tastes was normal nothing fresh or was cooked in special way. The prices are too high, I paid 290 for two person and it's not worth it, and I didn't like the way they ask for tips after bringing the recipe

Good happy vibes... Although too loud, and in general the menu is expensive

Expensive...

If you are looking for a nice Lebanese night this is the right place, with life music, belly dancer, great shisha nice music will let you dance all night

(Translated by Google) I expect that they are working on improving the service and dealing, I booked and I am afraid of the comments and of changing the price or canceling the reservation, but the place is nice and DJ Bashir was great and the singer Ziad had a nice atmosphere and we were two people, and the food was good and we paid 1000 dirhams Including drinks, shisha and food (Original) اتوقع انهم اشتغلو على تحسين الخدمة و التعامل ، حجزت و انا متخوفه من التعليقات و من تغير السعر او الغاء الحجز ، لكن المكان جميل و الدي جي بشير كان رائع و المطرب زياد اجواءه جميله و نحن كنا شخصين ، و الطعام كان جيد و دفعنا ١٠٠٠ درهم شامل مشروبات و شيشة و طعام

The best Friday afternoon time in town. Good food with excellent show.

Awesome vibes, good food and variety, wonderful team, genuinely great service & beautiful entertainment program. Special thamx to the awesome DJ. We have enjoyed every second of the brunch on Friday.

Disappointing experience unfortunately. I made a reservation two weeks ago and called twice to confirm the reservation as i had guests with me. Unfortunately when i arrived i was given a very bad table in the corner next to the bar and the kitchen eventhu when i called i informed the lady i want a table infront of the stage. I was put in a very awkward situation infront of my guests as no one bothered to offer us a better table and we all had to leave and call it a night!

The worst booking i have ever meet in my life evetime i call to book one lady replied my call and in the begging ask how many person when i told her 2 she said sorry i don't have , and actually she have a table for 6 Pax but she doesn't want to loose for two Pax , bear on mind that of course will pay will not go for free , i did not recommend this place to anyone

One of the best brunches I had in Dubai since a long time, the starters were so delicious and the service is flawless. Definitely would go there again and I will recommend it all the time.

Amazing , great music , very friendly and professional staff, very tasty food , I do recommend the place 😀 the atmosphere is really great 👍

Love the vibes, but the food, shisha was below the average, singer wasn’t bad.

Everything below average, the ppl are not friendly or nice, we reserved 2 weeks before this night and they give us very bad table coz we are three not 4 !!! And we asked to change it and they gave us worst choices !! This was my first time and will be the last !! I don’t reserve before my night for 2 weeks to sit on a table like this or to be treated with rude unprofessional ppl .. so, if you want to reserve at this stupid place better to have 2 choices coz I am sure you will leave it … or better to say that your are Lebanese coz they gave the good tables to their nationality.

Nice food, great music, amazing show! Just check the details for the night before going as the program is different every night. In doors you can see the show and enjoy the music, outdoor you can enjoy the food but you can't see the show. There is also a minimum spend per person. Great place for special occasions.

Had so much fun , place was small but with the fun and show u won't feel the size

One of the best places we have been to, love music, great vibes, great Dj, amazing food!

Horrible service!!!! Not allowed to wear sandals?!!! If I could give 0 stars I would. I called ahead of time to reserve and they said there is no reservation but I could walk in and see if anything empties up and did not mention anything about dress codes. We went wearing summer dresses and fancy sandals and they said we cannot go in because we are wearing sandals. Other girls were wearing heeled sandals and it was fine!!! I drove 45 minutes to leave because I am wearing fancy sandals

Loved the ladies night! Food was amazing and the service as well. Music was great, nostalgic.

From the door, the beautiful smile and welcome of the hostess, to the amazing service from the waiters, to the tasty food and drinks to the reasonable prices. Such a beautiful vibes and great management. Highly recommended.

Good very good and abundant portions Miss Marie was very helpful and kind. Ibfelt very welcomed by her service. One problem, music is definitely too loud even during dinner time for no apparent reason if not making the dinner uncomfortable

Excellent food. Excellent service. George and Abed were helpful and very friendly. The DJ was amazing. They have two major issues: 1- A/C fan was so high and freezing we requested a blanket. 2- surrounding speakers watts were so much higher than the place capacity in a degree it was extremely loud, noisy and annoying we had to leave.

We went for a Saturday night out at Antika with friends and booked in advance. The venue is nicely designed with a wide menu selection and a fun entertainment program. Unfortunately it's not managed well though with the manager of the evening making space for his and the singers friends and overcrowding the place. We had the drinks at our table dropped twice by a rowdy group of guys and when we complained we were told that they are regulars and there's nothing the manager could do. He didn't even offer to replace the food and drinks that were spilled.

Antika was a great experiance - we had fun - the dancer was in for a very short time - the sheesha stayed on and was great for the full time of the stay till 3 AM

Disgusting reception that will just make you sick before you enter. "You need reservation" for a place which ain't full and the guy would wink for the receptionist girl and ask "is it full today" ? I couldn't even hold this silly conversation.

Loved the vibes and the service. Shisha was amazing and flavor stayed long. The band performed yesterday were the best and they know how to ignite the crowd. Kudo!

The atmosphere was phenomenal! We weren’t informed of details of how and where to park, also for a lady night we weren’t informed of the limitations of the menu, otherwise I would repeat it but maybe not for a lady night event.

We have a good time , enjoyed the DJ , the live music and the belly dancer.
