Thick strained yogurt, a slick of olive oil, dried mint scattered over — labneh is the cool, tangy calm before a big seafood order. Warm bread mandatory at our Deira table. You will find it at Aylla Seafood Restaurant & Café, right beside Waterfront Market in Dubai.

On the Plate
What lands on your table, and why it tastes right:
The Cool-Down Course
Labneh in Dubai usually hides at the bottom of a mezze list; we give it full status. Strained until thick and quietly tangy, finished with olive oil and dried mint, it is the palate reset between bites of grilled prawn and fried calamari. Order it at Aylla, Waterfront Market, and let it do its gentle work.
The Mezze Ritual
The same standard, every order:
Two or three cold plates land first, bread still warm from the oven.
This is fork-and-bread food — tear, scoop, repeat.
Mezze is paced eating. The grill can wait a few minutes.
Reserve Your Table
Eat it on the terrace with the water in view, or take it to go — it travels well either way.

Labneh keeps every big seafood meal honest. Reserve your spot at Aylla in Deira or message us on WhatsApp — the yogurt is strained and the bread is warm. Best with hot bread and a plate of pickles.
