Review summary

Orfali Bros in Business Bay offers contemporary Middle Eastern cuisine with an average TripAdvisor rating of 4.8/5 based on 80 reviews. Food quality is generally praised for its creativity, presentation, and taste, with specific highlights on caviar starters and burgers. However, some diners found the concept confusing or the flavors underwhelming.

The atmosphere is described as modern, relaxed, and intimate, but the small space can feel cramped and noisy. Value perceptions vary significantly; while many appreciate the experience, others consider it overpriced with insufficient portions.
