Slow-cooked red lentils, toasty cumin and a bright squeeze of lemon — the Lebanese lentil soup Dubai regulars order before they even open the menu. Comes with warm bread, always. You will find it at Aylla Seafood Restaurant & Café, right beside Waterfront Market in Dubai.

In the Bowl
A good soup is four things done properly — nothing more, nothing less:
Comfort, Ladled Hot
Lentil soup in Dubai is easy to find and hard to get right — most versions sit somewhere between glue and gravel. Ours is the proper Lebanese build: red lentils simmered with cumin until they collapse into softness, brightened with lemon squeezed at the table, warm bread alongside. It’s the bowl that lands on nearly every table at Aylla in Deira’s Waterfront Market before the grilled fish arrives — steaming, golden, gone in minutes. Simple food, no shortcuts.
Simmered, Not Rushed
No secrets — just the rules we keep at every service:
Stocks and bases made in our kitchen — no packets, no shortcuts.
Your bowl is heated and garnished the moment you order it.
Warm Lebanese bread and lemon on the side, the old-country way.
Reserve Your Table
Eat it on the terrace with the water in view, or take it to go — it travels well either way.
