A homecoming!

After a stressful couple of days missing our flight to our final destination. Arriving at Moreish helped me to surrender and soften into the present moment and enjoy my unexpected time here in Dubai. It is such a beautiful, homely and welcoming space that a few tears fell from my eyes. Staff are friendly and the food is incredible. An abundant of vegan options and created with such finesse and heart. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space. What a gem of a find here whilst we are in Dubai. I wish I could come back but we now fly tomorrow! If we are ever in Dubai again we will visit 😊

NO VEGAN OPTIONS

(I’d give one star but HappyCow doesn’t allow veg restaurants to be reviewed as one star) we went there on purpose since we saw many positive reviews but the staff told us they had no vegan options.. they added that they usually have them, but not today.. which makes no sense. Such a waste of our time.

Cons: NO VEGAN OPTIONS

Frankly, I find this really hard to believe.
Maybe you can elaborate more on the missing vegan options?

Vegan breakfast

The vegan breakfast options there are amazing, I ordered tofu scramble and peach pancakes. The food there is so tasty. Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

Amazing value lunch

Ate lunch here while visiting Dubai. We had the amazingly cheap 3 course business lunch for 49 AED! Loads of dishes that can be served vegan so had plenty of choice. We enjoyed every course with the ramen and maple chilli smashed potatoes being the standout dishes. Really good quality food at bargain prices, would definitely visit again.

Absolutely amazing !

I've been to this restaurant several times even with my non-vegan friends. It's such a lovely place! The food is really tasty and you can tell they care about the customers.

Dearest place

If I were to live in Dubai permanently, Moreish would likely become my favourite eatery. Really comfy atmosphere, immaculate service, very affordable and delicious business lunch. Excellent range of vegan food. Try one of their various milkshakes (vegan upon request).
I don’t know their history, but it makes the impression that’s a project of enthusiasts.
Only thing I didn’t like much is the location. It doesn’t fit in the whole neighbourhood. In case of feasibility, I’d strongly suggest a relocation. Because what I noticed was: only few customers. Antiquarianism or not, in the end it has maintain itself at least.

The best vegan food!! They have exceptional desserts too. Almost anything on the menu can be made vegan. Love the ambiance and homely feel too.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Delicious vegan desserts too

Things got emotional

Maybe it was the heat during the midday walk from the Dubai Frame, or missing my family after 5 days apart, but when I sat down at my table at Moreish, read through the storybook menu, with the vinyl records playing in the background, I almost broke down on tears!
Despite being under what sounds like a multistory car park & in a rundown area, the sense of home when you walk in the door is heavenly.
I went for the amazing value 3 course business lunch menu at 49AED. The food is out of this world, simultaneously homely but with a unique combination of flavours you've never tasted before:
1, Starter - Carpaccio salad with tomatoes, roasted beetroot, orange, pomegranate, sunflower seeds, and a to-die-for cumin lemon dressing
2, Appetizer - smashed potatoes with a maple chilli glaze, sesame seeds, and curry leaf cream
3, Main - chickpea, mushroom & bok-choy stew served with pan-tossed beetroot couscous, and a tomato-olive relish


5 star restaurant. All vegetarian but majority can be made vegan. I didn't want to leave so I got dessert! The berry trifle - the vegan option had no cream unfortunately (a shame as so easy to do vegan!) but the sponge made up for it with its berry & basil "jelly" (which is actually jam). Free water too, which is very rare in Dubai. I almost wish I worked nearby so I could come here all the time, but this time bring some friends & family with me. Can't recommend it enough!

Pros: Home from home, Most unique, wholesome, menu design I've seen, Unique flavor-packed recipes

Cons: Not fully vegan

A MUST visit, best vegan breakfast in Dubai

My only regret is not having tried this place earlier. The food is impeccable. Have tried the sun-dried tomato Crepe, hummus platter and tofu scramble. Can't fault anything. My only comment is that the lavender cake was not as amazing as the other items. Cannot wait to go back for more.

Pros: Options , Taste, Price

Cons: Location is far

Amazing

We tried the aranchini balls, the Tex-Mex and the brocolli cheese burger which were both amazing! Extensive menu, can’t wait to try more. Everything on the menu is made without onion and garlic which was perfect for our dietary requirements

Pros: No Onion and Garlic, but still flavoursome!, Lots of cuisine options , Good service, friendly staff

Nice food, so-so service

Nice food but so-so service. I tried their umpteen protein vegan burger with chips, a tasty, rich burger, and their blueberry vegan trifle.

Small cute cafe

Really cute cafe with an extensive menu, all veggie and most vegan or can be veganised. Yummy mocktails and friendly service. Good value for money, and also does delivery. Can be spicy so if you want a milder flavour ask for no or less chilli!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious and quick

Absolutely recommendable!

Nice place with super delicious food! We had tofu fries, the pumpkin soup, bruscetta and chickpea stew and were amazed by the taste. The place is a family runned business. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Absolutely recommendable!

Pros: Big vegetarian menu with many vegan options, Helpful, friendly staff

Extremely personable owner was glad to help us veganize most of the menu.

Extremely wide menu had lots of vegan options and plenty more that could be fixed with a single omission. The food was not only delicious, but it was presented in an incredibly beautiful way that indicated the love that was going into each dish. We got a grilled peach and pesto bruschetta (no feta), couscous and chickpea stew, and classic Thai curry (red) as well as a couple mocktails. It was all amazing.

Pros: All vegetarian with ample vegan choices , Delicious and beautiful food, Very personable and accommodating owner

Cons: Too much reliance on cheese/ cream , Maybe haven’t mastered vegan cheese yet?
