Anwa

Anwa brings contemporary Asian dining to the desert at Bab Al Shams, A Rare Finds Desert Resort in Mugatrah. Located along Al Qudra Road opposite Endurance City, this restaurant combines striking architecture with elegant interiors to create a distinctive atmosphere in Dubai's desert landscape. Open daily from 4 PM to 1 AM, Anwa caters to evening diners seeking an escape from the city. The restaurant's setting features beautiful design elements and outdoor views that complement the Asian-inspired menu. While the culinary experience divides opinion—some guests praise the world-class food and attentive service, others find the flavors less impressive than expected—the venue's ambiance remains a consistent draw. The space accommodates both dining and shisha service, creating a relaxed social atmosphere, though the hookah presence may not suit those seeking a traditional restaurant environment. Anwa accepts debit cards and contactless payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay. The staff receives regular mentions for friendly, attentive service, contributing to the overall experience. Whether visiting for a special occasion or a casual desert evening, guests can expect an elegant setting that blends contemporary Asian cuisine with Dubai's unique desert hospitality.
