Al Hallab MOE reopens with a stunning new look
If you've ever craved mezze mid-shopping, chances are you've ended up at Al Hallab MOE. It's been around for years, and now, it's had a full makeover. The Lebanese restaurant, known for its classic favourites and family-style vibe, has reopened with a whole new refined look, but kept the same great food that's made it a Dubai staple. We popped in for a visit. The new look Up on Level 2 next to VOX Cinemas, Al Hallab's updated space is bright, calm, and stylish. Traditional Lebanese elements, like the Phoenician Flower, appear throughout in carved textures, patterned tiles, and subtle artwork that adds warmth. There's an indoor terrace that catches natural light, alongside a modern open kitchen framed by greenery. The expanded sweets counter is now on display, nodding to the brand's Tripoli-born bakery roots. Dark woods, soft neutrals, and high ceilings give the space room to breathe. It's still recognisably Al Hallab, just more refined. The food The menu at Al Hallab still does exactly what it's known for, generous, authentic Lebanese comfort food. Cold mezze options include creamy hummus (classic or meat-topped), moutabal, baba ghanoush, labneh with garlic, and vine leaves, while hot starters range from crisp sambousek to chicken liver and golden fried kibbeh. Before getting to the main course, don't miss the signature Baalbakieh which is baked soft dough filled with seasoned meat. Mains lean on the grill: think juicy shish tawouk, lamb chops, kafta, and seafood, all served with savoury sides like batata harra. The dessert menu includes everything we love from the Levant: baklava, halawet al jeben, knafeh, and rice pudding – a nod to the brand's Tripoli-born pastry roots, and still a favourite among regulars who stop by just for something sweet.

Coming Soon: Al Hallab to Reveal a Striking Relocated Branch Inside Mall of the Emirates
By Editor_wr Last updated Jun 17, 2025 Al Hallab, a cherished name in Lebanese dining, is relocating inside Mall of the Emirates this July as it prepares to unveil a stunning new design and refreshed experience on Level 2, near VOX Cinemas. Known for its rich heritage, warm hospitality, and authentic cuisine, the reimagined Al Hallab branch is set to be a beautiful fusion of modern elegance and timeless Lebanese charm. The existing Al Hallab location on Level 1 of Mall of the Emirates remains open and fully operational throughout the transition, ensuring guests can continue to enjoy their favourite dishes until the new space opens its doors in mid-July. A Contemporary Take on Tradition Guests will be welcomed into an inviting atmosphere that evokes both comfort and contemporary flair. The larger relocated branch will feature an elegant indoor terrace, an open kitchen design, and modern finishes, with vibrant colorful tiles, expanded greenery, and a larger sweets display that pays tribute to Al Hallab's origins as a beloved Lebanese pâtisserie. Brought to life by MK Design, the space prominently features the Phoenician Flower, a key cultural motif, as well as evocative images of Lebanon, blending tradition and heritage with a fresh, contemporary look. A Legacy Reimagined Founded in 1881 in Tripoli, Lebanon, Al Hallab began as a family-run bakeshop, delighting generations with handcrafted sweets and heartfelt hospitality. Over the decades, it has become a landmark for artists, aristocrats, and food lovers. 'Every detail in our relocated branch tells a story, from the Phoenician Flower motif to the open kitchen and artwork. We wanted to create something beautiful and welcoming, where people can feel the warmth of Al Hallab's heritage in a space that feels both timeless and current,' says Rami Al Hallab, fifth-generation owner and chef at Al Hallab. With a seating capacity of 180 guests, the Mall of the Emirates Level 2 location is set to become a must-visit destination for lovers of Lebanese cuisine, whether for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or a quick stop at the iconic sweets counter. Al Hallab invites everyone to experience the next chapter of its legacy, where every visit promises comfort, flavor, and a deep sense of home. Comments are closed.
