One of a kind Arabian restaurant. Located in the heart of Downtown and in its Main Street, it is 5 minutes walk from the city center. This spot is typical in its forniture and structure, with a stunning view over the Address Downtown. The food is amazing and the quality of the ingredients superior, altogether with the portions which are abundant. The food price is super convenient: I had two appetizers, one salad, one side and one main course for 200 AED. Also the staff is very nice and super careful to every need, and the service was fast. Considering the overall experience it was a 10+, for sure I’ll come back!

the restaurant is still very good but not like it used to be! i mean the food is always on spot no matter it is lunch or dinner, the service however will vary and i understand because the place is overcrowded most of the time but i would love to see more staff at that point, for some reason the breakfast is not very good, i don't know why, but any dish you will choose for lunch or dinner will be awesome for sure, highly recommended, both branches have valet parking but now of-course it is not happening due to the Covid-19 thing. menu is the same since fist time i visited the place in 2015. it needs a retouch.

The location is lovely, especially if you sit outdoors. They offer a great variety of dishes. Not everything is perfect, but it’s still a solid choice if you want to enjoy Arabic and Syrian cuisine.

This is probably one of the best syrian/middle eastern restaurants in the middle east. The food is cooked to perfection each and every-time. The quality of ingredients never disappoints. As for the service, our waiter was Ahmad, my order was remembered along with the smallest details. He is truly a valuable asset to this establishment, truly a professional!

Seriously good, I’m so so impressed with the food here! If you want proper Levantine food (probably not as good as a mother’s food but close enough), go here. Try all the Hamidieh specials, I was particularly impressed with the stuffed lamb. You must try the Hamidieh salad as well. The truffle fries were marvelous too. Super friendly staff and management, respect them and they’ll love you. Sit outside, that’s where the vibe is. If it’s summer just sit by the window. Either way the food will make you happy.

Al Hamidieh is a great choice if you're looking for an upscale Syrian restaurant in the heart of Downtown Dubai. The location is fantastic right in the city center with a beautiful view of Burj Khalifa. The restaurant features large glass windows that open during the cooler months for a pleasant outdoor-like dining experience and stay closed during summer for comfortable air-conditioned seating. The food is excellent, with generous portion sizes and authentic Syrian flavors. There's also a dedicated indoor smoking area where you can enjoy shisha in a relaxed setting. Service is friendly and efficient, and the staff is attentive without being intrusive. Valet parking is available for AED 25, which adds to the convenience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy quality Levantine cuisine in a stylish and central location.

It’s the third time I’m visiting this restaurant for a late night dinner. Last night I was surprised from the changes on the menu, the plating (presentation) and from the well updated presentation in every single dish.. congrats to the new chef!! As well I need to mention that the service was in a five star level, from the attention to my requests to the necessary questions about my food with a polite approach.. totally recommended PS the halloumi wrap with truffle was incredibly balanced!
