I had a grand evening at Bastakiah Nights Restaurant. The atmosphere was magic (although I was only there with a friend), the food truly delicious, and the service impeccable.
By coincidence, a friend of mine was traveling through Dubai while I was in town and we decided to get together to do some sightseeing. Unfortunately, I missed the sightseeing due to work. We decided to make the best of it and at least have a dinner meal together.
We elected to have dinner at Bastakiah Nights and I fell in love (with the restaurant). We walked to the restaurant through Old Dubai. We felt that we were in a different time, due to our surroundings. When we arrived at the restaurant, the feeling was ampified. I was taken by its appearance and ambiance. It was old- world Arabia.
The wait staff greeted us warmly and took us to a courtyard dining area. We were seated and provided with a nice cold mint drink. The menu was Arabic, set, and multi-course. As the food was presented, we knew that we were in for a fine meal and we were not disappointed. Every morsel was delicious. The wait staff was professional and attentive throughout our meal. We spent the evening dining, and finished very satisfied and happy.
I can't give a higher recommendation for this restaurant. It was that good!

Good Journeys!
