Zohaib Shaikh
★★★★★4 years agoOne of the many heritage places in dubai offering a great experience to witness the historical architecture. The structure also has the oldschool water supply system known as the aqua duct. The property has been well maintained and place has good vibes with lots of cafes. The view of top rooftop is amazing 👏. Perfect spot to enjoy some amazing coffee during sunset time as the mood of the location changes completely.

★★★★★2 years agoHideout Dubai :) The place is really great. It’s like a hidden gem. It is a bohemian cafe in the middle of an open garden. The staff has experience in dealing with customers, their coffee tastes excellent & the dessert we ordered is very special and fresh. The place is very quiet and worth trying
