Well, I was going to wait until BTR went back to Social House to get some pictures of the excellent range and quality of food that it provides…….but I will add these another time as BTR readers should know one of my favorite places to eat with a great view of Dubai Fountains.
BTR has visited The Social House at Dubai Mall on multiple occasions since moving here in August and it has become one my own and Mrs BTR’s FAVOURITE PLACES to eat within downtown Dubai – its reasonably priced, excellent food, great range and good view of the fountains.
Like I say the range of food at Social House is excellent - from Wagyu Beef Burger, Pizza, Pasta and South Asian Curries, all of which have been very tasteful and good value. The menu is sectioned into “East” and “West” – with dishes originating from these areas or having en exciting twist on dishes inspired from these regions.
The Wagyu Beef Burger here is excellent – well priced, great taste and size. Each time I have ordered this item it has been well cooked, juicy and I really like the special sauce that they use – bit different and spicy. Other items that Mrs BTR and I have eaten here include the Paratha and Prawn Tikka starter, and the Malay Curry for main. Both of these dishes have also been excellent.
Obviously one Social House’s big selling points if the location and view of the fountains that it provides. You may have to wait (10-20 minutes) for a table outside, but if you do you get one of my favorite experiences in Dubai by watching the fountain show 3/4 times during your dinner without having to move. Having watched the fountains from a few places whilst eating dinner this provides one of the best overall value for money experiences - as some of the other venues for dinner and a view of the fountains provide standard foods that are over priced, due to their location.
You are not able to book a table - slightly irritating, but we have only had to wait a maximum of about 20 minutes previously to sit outside (this being our preference) and it is definitely worth the wait. The service has always been excellent, with waiters always very friendly and helpful when making food decisions.
If your looking for a relaxed dinner with quality food, overlooking the lake and fountains THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO, far better than other more expensive options including Joe’s Café above and Serafina across the lake at Souk Al Baha.
