I have to admit, I had not been to Ivy before my visit last week for lunch. My friend invited me to a ladies lunch which they were holding and what an amazing day it was! The staff were warm, welcoming and very attentive. Upon showing us through to a beautiful area with the same stained glass windows i remember... More

I visted The Ivy when I was on holiday with a group of friends in Dubai. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only issue I had was deciding what to pick on the menu, there was so many lovely dishes to pick from. I was not left disappointed with what I picked, the duck salad and the pork... More

I have never been to The Ivy in London - only because I thought that I would never be able to get a table and not because I haven't ALWAYS wanted to go. I had heard that the same was true of The Ivy Dubai but I chanced my arm - and thank Allah I did. I think BTW that... More

Everything was perfect but not my fish cakes. I couldn't eat them. Far too pre-chewed! Starters and the other mains and pudding were picture perfect. Just beautiful and delicious. Would definitely go back. More

The food was good- French Onion soup for a starter was excellent. Had difficulty getting a drink at the bar when we arrived as the staff were busy chatting amongst themselves, but in general the service was ok, by Dubai standards. What let them down was the usual scam that Dubai restaurants try: send you a dish, complements of the... More

Went to The Ivy in London last year so thought we would try the one in Dubai when on holiday this year. It really was first class. Both my wife and I agreed it was better than the London restaurant. Perhaps its because its newer and the standard of facilities are better or as always with Dubai the level of... More

My husband and I were unlucky to have our booking at The Ivy the day before the Prophet Mohammed's birthday so it was a dry night. Meaning no alcohol allowed!! Ordinarily that would have ruined my night but we were in Dubai, who needs alcohol!? The Ivy is located in an ideal location right near the Dubai Mall and in... More

I cannot compare this restaurant to London as have never been, however the restaurant had a good ambience. It lacked atmosphere but this I think was due to the lack of people. Its a very large restaurant and would take a lot of people to fill. I have a food intolerance to wheat and garlic and had idenitified this at... More

Having got over the surprise of being able to book at table (try doing this for The Ivy in London), our whole party of six loved the place. The decor and warm welcome from the staff made for a great start. And it got better as the food arrived - well prepared and cooked, great flavours. The staff made a... More
