Palma Saray Restaurant & Cafe

Palma Saray anchors the Palma Beach Resort with a wide-ranging menu and a generous sea view. The dining room is contemporary and spacious, with indoor and outdoor sections, separate smoking and non-smoking areas, and a shisha terrace that catches the evening breeze. The kitchen moves comfortably across Arabic, Iranian and Indian repertoires: Persian kebabs, lamb biryani, mixed Arabic grills, grilled halloumi, seafood platters and a roster of hot and cold mezze are all handled with care, and the Arabic breakfast of ful with olive oil and garlic draws its own following. Prices land well below what guests tend to find in comparable resort restaurants closer to Dubai, and portions are more than enough for two to share. The service team is a consistent point of praise, with long-tenured staff known by name to returning guests, and the recently refurbished interiors give the room a polish that matches the kitchen. Sunset tables by the water are the obvious choice, and a post-meal Moroccan tea with shisha is a graceful way to wind down the evening. The breadth of the menu is the real attraction here: families, couples and larger groups all find something to share without compromise, and the reliable bill makes it a comfortable repeat visit for anyone staying on this side of the emirate.
