Shimmers دبي Reviews
Not the Best Food, but the View, Service, and Vibes Are Great
I had the worst clam spaghetti of my life. It was super salty! I think I could cook better spaghetti than that. The receptionist seated us at a table where the ACT blocked our view, but after we requested a change, the waiter was very nice, accommod
Perfect evening
Shimmers Restaurant was an absolute dream. The setting was truly stunning — elegant, serene, and right by the beach, creating the most unforgettable atmosphere. We had the full beachside experience, and it was simply magical. The food was incredibl
Wow what a place
Luck would have it Shimmers had just reopened and we managed to get a table on the beach. The restaurant is on the beach at the madinat, and we were taken down from reception in the little buggies. The staff were super attentive and the music was a n
Great vibes, average food at best
Food was very average with lobster and prawns being well over cooked and chewy and service being non existent, go for drinks but not for food
Amazing!!! 🤩
This restaurant is amazing, we were there during sunset and it was spectacular. The staff were really good and attentive, the food was delicious and the views were divine! Will return when we are in Dubai again. A+++
Perfect spot on the beach

Superb 😮 💨❤️❤️
Most incredible full of Mediterranean vibes restaurant. The food is superb and staff are very nice! Once you come you wanna come back always ❤️
Not impressed with the food
Shimmers restaurant might have an amazing view of the Burj Al Arab but the food was really poor. I had grilled prawns which were completely tasteless. They came with an equally tasteless bowl of sliced tomatoes. My daughter ordered the chicken souv
Nice one!
really nice atmoshere, frendly service for the most part. Food was really nice and the music and lighting was really great. Over all good atmosphere and well priced/.
As it’s got bigger it’s getting worse
We first came to shimmers 15 years ago and did so as our ‘go to’ restaurant when staying at Jumeirah Al Qasr, DAM and Al Naseem over the years. In those days it was a Greek taverna style. Mainly on concrete, small amount on the beach for shisha.
The best location in Dubai
Our favourite restaurant every time we come to Dubai. Staff , food , ambiance & of course location ( sunset is fantastic ) We have never been disappointed . Also our favourite hotel , Mina Al Salam .
Perfect lunch on the beach
Perfect for lunch on the beach with the best views, staff were very friendly & attentive, food was great. Would definitely recommend!
What a great spot for a dinner at the beach. Dubai is hot, very hot, even in May it was 27C at 23PM!!!! very good food, great staff, i really like it
Avoid
Once our favourite restaurant. Now just an average instagram blogger hot spot. Very rude staff namely Krystina - not the service you expect. Food was ok, better off going to Nuska or Summersalt much nicer and friendlier staff
Will think about twice if I am coming again
The food was excellent—top quality, especially the seafood, which was incredibly fresh. However, the service was disappointing. I’m not sure if the staff were tired or simply indifferent, but their attitude fell far short of what one would expect
Really nice
We really enjoyed it here. The food was tasty, the service was good, and the atmosphere was lively. I’d definitely return.
Staff as equally as amazing as venue
From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable. Food and drink quality was fantastic. We were very lucky to be served by the lovely George. Extremely warm and welcoming. Brought a sense of humour to our evening and made our night. Great guy
The best food, service and location in Dubai so far.
Absolutely fantastic meal and wonderful service. We had the Saganaki prawns, octopus, squid, lobster orzo and chicken orzo. Every dish was superb!! Our waitress Alexandra was so lovely and polite, knowledgeable about the food and local area, and ma
Best beach restaurant in the UAE
Fossil , Maria , Lloyd and Alex looked after us wonderfully We visited most days for lunch and the service was second to none. It’s easily the best beach bar in Dubai due to its great position on the beach and excellent service. A must do if vi
The best sunset spot in Dubai
Amazing spot for sunset! I always come for artichoke salad and lobster risotto. The best ambience. Feel like south of France
Shimmers food not good
Went tonight location really good but food shocking also staying half board in hotel but had to pay 180 dirham supplement per adult which is not to bad then to be told you can only order certain things off menu was shocking then onto the food starter
Lovely Eda hanım who made the experience unforgettable
Lovely view and great service, it was my first time there but Eda hanım made me feel home. Everything that she recommended was out of this world 😍. Eda hanım was extremely sweet and 100% present we were lucky to have her look after us! All dishe
Lovely couples dinner..
Went last weekend and we had a lovely time. Karla was fab as always (we know her from Tortuga) was so nice to see her again. She made us and our friends felt very welcomed and looked after. We all will be back for sure.
The best welcoming reception.
The best welcoming reception. Clara is an asset for this place she made the evening with her warm welcoming and positive interaction. very helpful and professional reception team. 10 out of 10!
Relaxing Dinner
We always visit Shimmers in Dubai. Food was lovely and it’s a prime location to see the burj in all its splendour. Tables on the beach aren’t as formally set but give best views.
Amazing location and food to match
Sometimes you go to an iconic location and realize that the price you are paying is all about the view but the food does not match. Shimmers had absolutely delicious food and inventive cocktails on the beach, music is pumping so request a table far
Perfect evening beach chill and great food
Great beach location and offering classy but chilled beach venue for dinner. Quality Greek food served swiftly but not rushed. Friendly staff who made you feel welcome - none of that fake pretence just good people. Wine list includes some reasonably
Good!
The setting was really nice, we came for the sunset which was lovely. Food was good. Special mention to our lovely buggy driver Sayedur, he was very friendly and polite and chatty!
Location location location, backed up with service
Shimmers has a stunning location, but backs up with service of a equal quality , a simple Greek inspired menu , meat balls are the best , with a good wine menu , a solid favourite when in Dubai
Delicious dinner with burj al arab view!!
Great dinner, food is amazing . friendly staff, in special way Miss Tashlyn, very kind, nice and professional. Really recommended place !!
Une soirée magique encore une fois
We spent a wonderful evening thanks to the staff that has been great and thank you for the surprise for our anniversary. We are always delighted to have dinner at Shimmers and we do appreciate the delicious food. Thank you and congratulations.
Great service
Great food. The service was excellent. I was attended by a moroccan waiter named simohammed. He was so firendly and professional. Will definitely come back again
Lunch at Shimmer's
Great location, high quality food and service. Loved the saganaki, moussaka and octopus salad. Outstanding tuna carpaccio, baked sea bass and lobster orzo. Cannot wait to be back. A special thank to Chef Emanuele for his special dish pasta con le sar
NOISY MUSIC AND POOR AMBIANCE
Food was nice, but oh my god how strong & noisy the music was… no comment. I couldn’t even talk properly to the people seating around me. For the people looking for a classy / peaceful place, I have one thing to say : AVOID AT ALL COST. Come
Great food
Absolutely a must to visit the best sea food ever absolutely the best service great view in the beach or you can sit on the beach we sat in the beach and had a drink after our meal Pricey but you get what you pay for Highly recommend
…
This is one of the very few "right on the beach" 🏖️ outlets of Dubai serving Greek cuisine. It's inside the Mina A' Salam hotel of the Madinat Jumeirah. They have an all outside seating area divided into on the sand and then on the sh

Excellent restaurant with great view of Burj Al Arab
I came here at 12.30 am for a lunch with my sister. The kind and polite hostess gave us very nice table and we enjoyed our view and the food. The cocktails are awesome, and the dessert was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, jus

Connect with users posting reservations for Shimmers دبي
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Shimmers دبي. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Shimmers دبي at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Shimmers دبي page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Shimmers دبي to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Shimmers دبي!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
