A restaurant can fit family restaurants in Dubai on paper and still be entirely wrong for the table. This Plate Snob edit currently compares 59 open restaurants for family restaurants in Dubai, with British, Levantine, Persian and Emirati represented across The Lakes, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Deira and Al Fahidi.
