Small-diced cucumber, tomato and onion under a lemon-and-olive-oil dressing — the Arabic salad Dubai tables lean on daily, quietly perfect beside whatever comes off our grill. You will find it at Aylla Seafood Restaurant & Café, right beside Waterfront Market in Dubai.

In the Bowl
Four things decide whether a salad is worth ordering — none of them are shortcuts:
The Humble Workhorse
The Arabic salad in Dubai that every kitchen claims to make is usually an afterthought — not here. Cucumber, tomato and onion are cut small so every forkful carries the dressing, which is nothing more than lemon and olive oil in the right ratio. At Aylla, Waterfront Market, Deira, it arrives cold and glossy beside grilled fish and mezze plates, doing the job it has done across the region for generations: making everything else taste more like itself.
Cut Fresh, Dressed Late
No secrets — just the rules we keep at every service:
Vegetables and herbs arrive with the market delivery, not days before.
Nothing sits pre-chopped — the bowl is built when you order it.
Lemon, oil and seasoning land just before it reaches your table.
Reserve Your Table
Eat it on the terrace with the water in view, or take it to go — it travels well either way.
