Every suggestion is read by a real editor. Takes 2 minutes.

How It Works

Every suggestion is read by a real editor. If a restaurant sounds promising, we'll schedule a visit — anonymously, and we always pay our own way. That's our promise to you and to every reader.

1

You Submit

Fill in the form with the restaurant name, location, cuisine, and most importantly — why you love it. The more detail you give us, the better.

2

We Investigate

Our editors research every submission. If it passes the vibe check, it goes on the visit list — usually within 2–4 weeks for promising tips.

3

We Visit (Anonymously)

We book using a different name, pay our own bill, and take our own photos. The restaurant never knows we're coming.

4

It Gets Published

If the experience lives up to the tip, we write it up and publish it. We'll credit you as "a reader tip" if you'd like.

What Makes a Great Tip?

  • A specific dish or experience you love
  • The neighbourhood or exact location
  • Why it's different from other Dubai restaurants
  • Approximate price range (budget / mid / fine dining)
  • Best time to visit or anything to watch out for
  • Hidden gems and neighbourhood locals' spots get priority
