Why we recommend it
Bait Maryam, meaning Maryam's house, sets out to cook the way a Levantine family would at home, and its warm, relaxed dining room in Jumeirah Lakes Towers matches the idea. The food draws on Palestinian and wider Levantine traditions, with chef Salam Dakkak recognised as MENA's best female chef in 2022, and the Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand for good-value cooking.
Expect generous mezze, home-style mains and rice dishes made for sharing, so it is a good place to come with a group and order widely. JLT is easy to reach on the Dubai Metro, but the clusters can be confusing, so allow a few minutes to find Cluster D. Booking ahead at weekends is sensible.
