Beautiful ambience with water view. Friendly staff and great food makes it a perfect dining option. The grills are simply delicious and I loved the states and spicy potato too. On Entertainer app. A little pricy but worth the experience.

Ordered for delivery for lunch meal. Ordered couple of dishes. The shawarma dish was not flavorful at all. Additionally, it is quite disappointing that the dish is called a shawarma dish. It was simply two triangle shaped thin bread with chicken in the middle. It should be more appropriately labelled as a chicken with bread dish. Having a dish in this region is appalling. I would expect such a dish to be called shawarma in the Western world, not in the heart of the GCC. We ordered couple of other chicken dishes and unfortunately again, the flavour was lacking. The portion size is miniscule.To top off the experience, the prices are exorbitant. Not recommended.

The vine leaves are epic, among all the mezza we order and the Fatté. Only downtime in our experience is a heavy sun at lunchtime with no umbrellas set for us as outdoor seating guests.

Had dinner in semsom with my family . We ordered lamb chops and a mix grill platter . The quantity of lamb chops was just four dry pieces and the price was 70 dirhams which was totally unsatisfactory , coming to the mix platter - it was really good and the meat was really tender in taste . <br/>Overall it was a soothing experience because of the atmosphere . But they should really work on the quantity aspect.

Visited this place located inside festival city for lunch and shisha. It has an outside seating area facing the waterfront and perfect place to sit have shisha during the winters of dubai . For food we ordered : lamb kebabs, arayees, shish tawouk sandwich, fries and spicy potatoes. Personally I loved the shish tawouk sandwich, the fries, spicy potatoes and the arayees. Didn’t like the kebab at all. The ambience and decor of this place is nice and the service is fine too.

Meats were grilled to perfection. <br/><br/>The freshly baked bread was also good. Soft, fluffy yet lightly crispy. <br/><br/>Hummus was better than average, but definitely not the best that we've had. <br/><br/>Only issues were that it was a bit hard to to find the location and the non-smoking area had a faint smell of smoke.

Dine with a view.. my favourite Lebanese restaurant in all of Dubai.. it has a beautiful view outdoors during winters(November to March)...<br/><br/>A very tasty dates and rose welcome drink is served every time.<br/><br/>The food is so fresh we made sure to finish everything till the last bite..<br/><br/>Hot Arabic breads with a variety of hummus is just out of this world..<br/><br/>If you want to treat your taste buds with good food.. I highly recommend this place.

We were out shopping in the festival city mall and as it was lunch time we decided to visit this beautifully designed lebanese restaurant.<br/><br/>We ordered,<br/>The chicken mozzarella sandwich AED45<br/>Mixed grill with fatoush and hummus sides AED72<br/>Fattet shishbarak with dried mint AED34<br/>Mint lemonade AED20<br/><br/>Samsom, opened in early 2018, was on our list of 'to be discovered' places. We finally got to try out this fantastic place..<br/>The founders of this restaurant chain are on a mission! 'to take Lebanese cuisine all over to the world'<br/>Food was exquisite, presentation was beautiful and the overall experience was just out of the world!<br/><br/>My favourite was the chicken mozzarella sandwich. It was oozing flavours and was deliciously crunchy.<br/>Another favourite was the fattet shishbarak. It was deliciously made with the right mix of ingredients. The mélange of laban, chickpea and toasted pita is just gorgeous.<br/>Mixed grill was quite good. I opted for double shish taouk and kebab. Served with traditional accompaniments such as toum (garlic sauce), batata harra (spiced potato) and lemon and chilly. You get to choose from a variety of sides and I ordered fattoush and hummus. It was a fulfilling dish and the freshly baked bread served with it was just spot on..<br/>Mint lemonade was good and went well with the food.<br/>Overall the food was just mouth-watering and the ambience is just stunning. I loved the intricately designed outdoors and elegantly decorated indoors. The dispense bar is also beautifully designed with copper utensils and moorish tiles.<br/>It was a shame that we didn't get to try their famous desserts and sheesha..<br/>I will definitely go back to try them out..<br/><br/>

Nice location, on the quieter end of Festival City mall. <br/><br/>Starters:<br/>1) Hummus Zaatar & Sumac - not too much flavor, color is pretty, but tastes just like regular hummus to me<br/>2) Hummus Olives & Sesame - enjoyed this one, love the non-bitter black olives <br/>3) Beetroot Mtabbal - flavor was better the next day, very basic<br/>4) Potato Balls - lovely! Perfect combo of flavors - meat, potato, herb, fruit<br/><br/>Mains:<br/>1) Kafka Bel Sayneih - rice had a horrible chemical/oil flavor, meat was okay, but the sauce was so basic it tasted incomplete <br/><br/>Might go back for the potato balls, crispy bread, fresh baked bread, and olive hummus.

Decided to visit this place with friends for a light dinner and shisha. It was crowded, but we managed to get a seat. the staff were polite and friendly. We were given a rose welcome drink which was sweet and flavorful. we ordered the Humus with sumac, falafel, honey shish taouk and the fattah with dried mint. We went for the blueberry shisha which was perfect. one of the best blueberry shisha's i have tried.<br/><br/>The ambience was cozy and beautiful decor. My friend initially chose the apple shisha which she did not like at all!! I t didn't taste like apple. However, the manager was polite enough to immediately get it changed despite the place being crowded.<br/><br/>The view of the waterfront and the location is amazing for this restaurant. the price is not too steep. Its great for a get together. There is a kids play area inside too.

Location wise a decent place,my food experience was not great though.I find pickles stale. Hummus tasteless and arees very ordinary.The wow factor was highly missing.Fondant cake was not like fondant cake.Hummus & Arees are staple Lebanon cuisines...even these two were not up to mark...I wont take risk to go again and try anything else.

This place is besides the creek in festival city mall. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Winters are great to have the outdoor seating seeing the Yatches parked and some occasional fireworks during the shopping festival.<br/>Relaxing and laid back place.<br/>We went there just to have sheesha. Grape and apple flavors are my favorites. Nicely served, sadly closes down at 12.<br/>Finger foods here are good, nice styled and rolled falafel served with tahina.<br/>They have nice unlimited options on offer. Pretty Lebanese sandwiches are all time favorites.<br/>Fresh juices are nicely done. Overall a nice place with nice ambience and good to chill out with your friends.

Tried this place with my better half, just on the basis that it was the only outlet that served shisha ....  the overall atmosphere was very good. the service was good as well however the food and drinks were average, nothing great, but nothing bad. The Shisha was alright , not the best. considering its the only Shisha outlet at Festival I might go there for the shisha and outdoor seating since the weather is getting cooler.

Came here with a group of friends and there was a waiting list to be seated in the Shisha zone! <br/><br/>Very friendly staff and our experience was quite nice. We ordered the meat arayes, chilli and regular hummus, cheese manakish, fatoush, beet root muttabil for starters. <br/><br/>The arayes was the best I’ve tasted so far and the hummus was on point too. The famous Semsom beet root muttabil however did not meet expectations, as it was a bit dry in texture. <br/><br/>For mains, we got a kebab platter including the Adana kebab and shish tawook. While the chicken was quite nice the Adana lacked the juiciness in flavour and missed the mark. <br/><br/>The place including shisha is a bit on the pricier side, but the overall experience was good, ambiance quite nice and staff friendly.

From the warm welcome to the tasty turkish coffee (that I didn't get a chance to take pictures of). This restaurant is truely mesmerizing with all the details and superb service!! We went as a group of four and ordered the freeke salad (which is recommended as one of their best) and the chicken potato that you will not have a chance to taste anywhere else in Dubai! Even though the place was packed the service was beyond excellent, which is not the case in most of Dubai's restaurants. A hidden gem in Dubai Festival City!

wow what a pleasure it is to write a review for this exceptional restaurant, me and my family were privileged enough to be invited for lunch at Semsom, I have been to many Lebanese restaurants in Dubai and throughout the GCC but this was definitely in top 3 for me.<br/><br/>The service, ambiance and food were exceptional a massive shoutout to our lovely waitress ‘Layla’ who made our experience even better with her warm welcoming genuine attitude. Thank you so much Layla, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to be blown away with the quality of food 👌 <br/><br/>Thank you Semsom for a magical experience.

I am late in writing this review and I must say this restaurant has tickled my palate in a very satisfying manner. the food was great cooked well and served on time, the waiter helped us with our options with a great smile. I will always recommend this place for people who want to relax enjoy a meal with good ambiance.

An unplanned lunch with friends got us here one afternoon. The place is pretty and overlooks the waterfront which adds to the beauty. The staff could be more attentive and friendly. <br/><br/>We started the meal with a Hummus, a Baba Ganoush and a Fattoush. The Hummus was creamy and delicious, the Baba Ganoush was a bit dry and tasted a bit burnt however the Fattoush was really good, perfectly tangy and crunch. <br/><br/>We also called for the Spicy Potatoes and a portion of Shawarma. The mains were pretty good. The spicy potatoes were well done and cooked to perfection. The Shawarma was great too, it was a generous portion served with garlic paste. Would have loved to try the desserts here but were in a hurry to leave. I would go back here if I were at the Festival City Mall and wanted to have a Lebanese meal.

Never again, less than average food, i was dissatisfied with the service, price is on the higher side, food portions are ok. I didn’t try the drinks or the shisha so i cant comment in them.

The Semsom Restaurant was recommended to me by two of my friends . They specifically told me to try the Arayes. It was so good. The fresh bread was great also. Try their Hummous, Falafel, Foul Madammes and Kababs.
