Arabian Tea House
Dubai, UAE
Arabian Tea House in Dubai is the Al Fahidi branch of a long-running Emirati restaurant and café, set on Al Fahidi Street in Bur Dubai. The business says it has operated since 1997 and presents the venue as a place to experience traditional Arabic culture through Middle Eastern halal food, with this branch linked to the historic Bastakiya quarter and its old wind-tower buildings. The official contact page places the Al Fahidi branch at Al Fahidi Street, Bur Dubai, with daily service from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm. The restaurant’s own description emphasises a heritage-led setting, with a courtyard feel, turquoise benches, white rattan chairs, lace curtains and flowering plants, suggesting a café-style atmosphere rather than a formal dining room. Food and drink are organised around Emirati and broader Arabic fare. The published menu categories include breakfast, appetisers, salads, sandwiches, barbecue, main courses, drinks and traditional sweets, while the drinks list includes tea and coffee service alongside speciality house drinks. The business also describes itself as serving authentic Middle Eastern halal food, which frames the dining offer as culturally rooted and suitable for a broad day-to-day meal or a slower tea-house visit. The branch is part of a wider Arabian Tea House group, but the Al Fahidi location stands out for its heritage setting in old Dubai rather than a mall or roadside format. Taken together, the official pages present a restaurant that combines Emirati cooking, tea-house hospitality and a preserved neighbourhood context, making the experience as much about place and atmosphere as the menu itself.
