We visited back in February for Ladies Night dinner, Rose looked after us, she was wonderful and so friendly, our dinner experience was made a lot better by her attentiveness! The restaurant decor is beautiful & the live entertainment is fabulous, we danced into the night afterwards with the DJ playing the best 90’s/00’s music. We especially loved the food presentation & everything was so delicious, including the drinks!! The views from their terrace are incredible too, this place is a new favourite, we can’t wait to return!! Thanks so much Rose! =]

#invited A Culinary Journey with Chef Mechilien Starrd, Chef Greg Malouf, and Chef Sonu KoitharaMy wife and I had the pleasure of attending a special dinner created by Chef Mechilien Starrd, Chef Greg Malouf, and Chef Sonu Koithara, featuring modern Middle Eastern and Mediterranean delights. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for an extraordinary culinary experience.Both chefs took the time to personally introduce each dish, sharing their passion and insights into the flavors and inspirations behind the menu. The welcoming drink infused with saffron offered a delightful start to the evening.The sharing-style servings allowed us to explore a variety of flavors, with each dish presenting a unique twist and innovative ideas. A standout for me was the warm eggplant with crispy puff—a delightful combination of textures and flavors that left a lasting impression.While most dishes were exceptional, there were a couple of minor hiccups. The toffee pudding, although delicious, was served cold when it would have been better enjoyed warm. Additionally, the pita bread arrived cold, which detracted slightly from an otherwise fantastic meal.Service throughout the evening was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that our needs were met promptly. However, it would be beneficial for the restaurant to consider offering amenities such as phone chargers to enhance the overall guest experience.As a thoughtful conclusion to the evening, the chefs generously offered a giveaway—a book by Chef Greg Malouf—that added a special touch to an already memorable dining experience.In summary, our evening with Chef Mechilien Starrd, Chef Greg Malouf, and Chef Sonu Koithara was nothing short of exceptional. Despite a few minor issues, the culinary journey they provided was truly unforgettable. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their culinary creations in the future.--

Our recently held BILD (British Indian Lads & Ladies Dubai) Pre-Summer Brunch event at Raia, was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish!From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere was perfect for our event, with a vibrant and lively ambiance with live singer for a fun and memorable event.The food was delicious and the highlight was undoubtedly the impeccable service. The staff made sure our glasses were never empty!A big thank you to Eugen and Mary for making our BILD pre-summer brunch such a success! We couldnt have asked for a better venue to host our event. We highly recommend Raia for any group gatherings or special occasions and look forward to returning for future events!Truna, BILD Founder

My recent visit to Raia The Palm left me utterly impressed! From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was captivating, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. The food surpassed all expectations, with each dish bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. However, what truly elevated my visit was the impeccable hospitality extended by the staff, particularly Alina. Her attentiveness and warmth added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Special thanks to Alina for making our visit truly memorable. I highly recommend Raia The Palm to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary adventure coupled with top-notch hospitality.

Such a great place. We had a beautiful ladies night there. The service, music, canapés (soooo good!!) , the cocktails were absolutely amazing. Only one thing we didn’t enjoy- the loudness of music (DJ and especially live music), we couldn’t talk but had to shout 🤦🏻‍♀️ and hey! It’s a ladies night, we came there to TALK!

If you’re looking for a lounge that offers more than just great food and drinks, Raia is the place to be. Perched high above the city, this lounge boasts panoramic views that are nothing short of breathtaking. Whether you’re here during the day or night, the scenery is always spectacular, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable evening.The live music adds an extra layer of sophistication to the experience. The musicians are talented, and the ambiance they create is just right💕

Love it

The surroundings are beautiful, especially from the balcony. The food was picky items, finger food, sliders, small kebab stick with mini deserts presented in a 3 tiered like jewellery box. The waitress was constantly bringing drinks every time our glasses were getting empty, very attentive and smiley. There was a live duo, singer and clarinet player, up to date songs, not too loud, still able to hear each others conversations. We loved it and for the price it was a great night. A good find.

My friends and I were looking for a place to celebrate our friend’s birthday, as we really wanted it to be special. We decided to try out Raia and we were not disappointed! It was an excellent experience, from the beautiful environment, to the lovely and helpful staff, the talented singer, and the delicious and beautifully presented food. The staff brought a complimentary birthday cake and sang happy birthday to our friend. She ended up having the best birthday ever. Thank you!

We enjoyed the night brunch. The view from the restaurant is stunning and the atmosphere was cheerful and lively. Service was on point and the waiters gave us excellent drinks recommendations. The food was okay, some parts were excellent and others disappointing. The salad, charcuterie, and seafood bars were great, with a wide selection, the hot starters were not good, mains was excellent, and dessert was nice. Overall, a pleasant night out!

Really enjoyed the evening brunch! The atmosphere was great, the live band were amazing! The service was perfect, with cocktails flowing, the food was tasty with a mixture of buffet starters and al La carte main course, I had the steak which was delicious. Perfect brunch if you want to enjoy live music and a good catch up with friends or family, it’s not too rowdy or wild like some Dubai brunches. Will definitely visit again!

To Alex: thank you!!!Me and my friend had an amazing experience considering that we showed up without a reservation on a really busy Ladies Night. We’ve had a warm greeting and Alex was professional and approachable; using his problem solving skills he managed to give us a great table, next to the Dj and the Bar.The waiter (unfortunately I cannot remember her name) was amazing! The whole team overall was very attentive with excellent customer service skills, always checking on us and making sure we have everything we need.As I mentioned to Alex before we left: see you next Friday!!! (hopefully we can get the same table, haha).

Big big thanks to the employees for excellent service provided. They went for extra miles just to make our evening special. Special thanks goes to Tima for wonderful cocktails and the turkish tea which was not even in the menu. The welcome of Kunduz especially her attention to detail and willingness to please was to perfection in every way. All this shows that they are ready to exceed guest’s expectations.RAIA Rooftop&Lounge is absolutely incredible place to be, the outlet is cosy and welcoming too with an excellent quick service its worth the money. We dont even remember when last time we had such great experience in Dubai. I’d love to visit again and Id recommend it as a nice place to go with friends, family, or a partner. Do try Tima’s fantastic cocktails!!!

If there’s a place that truly blends refined cuisine, vibrant ambiance, and breathtaking views, it’s Raia.Located at the top of Taj Exotica, this rooftop offers two stunning panoramic views: on one side, the iconic Burj Al Arab glowing under the night sky; on the other, the calm waters of Palm Jumeirah, shimmering with the city lights. The vibe captures you even before your first sip.The cocktails are creative and perfectly crafted special mention to the berry-infused ones with a spicy twist. The Lebanese starters are fresh and flavorful, and the main courses are a masterpiece in both taste and presentation. The lamb with beetroot purée and grilled vegetables was definitely a highlight.Live music and the sultry red lighting of the lounge add a seductive, modern touch to the whole experience. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner, a special night out, or simply celebrating life in style.In short:Raia isn’t just a rooftop it’s a cinematic escape filled with bold flavors and an energy that stays with you. I left absolutely in love. Truly.

One of the best Saturday evening brunches I’ve had in Dubai! Raia knows how to bring the vibes — stunning rooftop views to the high-energy show that had everyone up dancing, it was nonstop good times.Food-wise, everything was delicious — especially the main course and the desserts. But the Kunafa? Absolutely unforgettable.Amazing staff, great music, and a full-on experience that’s worth every dirham. If you’re looking for a fun night out with food, music, and a great crowd — Raia is it. ✨
