Hand-cut parsley by the fistful, fine bulgur, ripe tomato, a lemon dressing with opinions — the tabbouleh Dubai mezze tables fight over, herb first, everything else in support. 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:
Green, and Proud of It
There is tabbouleh, and there is salad with parsley sprinkled on top — Dubai gets both, we serve the first. Ours is parsley in serious volume, cut by hand, a modest scoop of fine bulgur, tomato and spring onion, all woken up with lemon and olive oil. Order it beside fattoush or whatever’s coming off the grill at Aylla, Waterfront Market, in Deira — it clears the deck between rich bites like nothing else on the table.
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.
