We visited the Social House for lunch as we love the fresh, great quality offered. I came alone with my two young children and was very surprised when the host advised that my children would eat for free. All I paid for was my drink and meal and both my children had a generous sized margarita pizza, fresh juice and vanilla ice cream. The quality was just as good as when we would normally come and pay for them. It was very clean, with tables spaced safely apart from others.
Thank you for a great lunch 😊

We called into Social House late afternoon on Monday 20/01/20 & immediately made welcome from staff. Great selection of meals from the menu choice, with the drinks & food we were both very full. In total we paid together AED 230.00 = AUD $95.45
We both highly recommend this eatery for all ages. Pics Attached
Delicious Food and Well Cooked.

This is my first time visited the Dubai outlet, though I go ofter to SOHO Jakarta.
As all of Ismaya outlet, the menu offer wide range of variety. I had the BBQ Korea Grill and Spanish Coffee which taste so good, I love it..
What most great is their Service, our waiter Dav is awesome 😊, he’s patiently explained about the menu, generous with extra chilly that we asked and helped us move our table to outside area so we can eat with an Ocean view....
Thanks for the hospitality Dev and we’ll definitely will come back 😋☺️

I took my friend here who was visiting on holiday as I had been to the restaurant before with a good view of the fountains. The service was appalling, nobody seated us so we picked a table outside and nobody gave us menus we had to ask after sitting in the restaurant with people around us with menus. We never received our drinks till we got our meals and then there was a constant cluster of flies around our food. It was shocking, we couldn’t eat our food without swatting then away. I asked two different members of staff if we could move inside and told them the reasons they said they would check and never came back to me. Of course we then left our food and got the bill to leave which they were quick to give us because it’s money for them. I will never be returning to this restaurant I felt we was ignored and I’ve never witness such awful customer service.

Social House is a beautiful restaurant with strong wooden interiors. You almost can't decide whether the indoor seating or the patio seating is better.
The casual dining restaurant has a delicious variety of dishes with more emphasis on the Italian and Japanese cuisines. We decided to try the Penne Arabiatta, Stir Fry Noodles and the Meat Lovers Pizza.
Although the pasta was not al dente, it was creamy and delicious. The stir fry noodles were light and fresh. The lime gave it a zesty flavour which accentuated the overall taste.
No meal is complete without a dessert, especially their signature carrot cake. The slice had beautiful layers and the cream was light and the taste of carrot came through strongly.
The price range is fair and in line with the other casual dining restaurants and the servers are polite and knowledgeable about the dishes.
Overall a nice place to visit with family and friends

I came here with my friend as she has been here before however the service that we received was appalling. When we approached the restaurant, we were not greeted so we took ourselves to our table and waited for about 5 minutes before a waiter arrived with our menus. When our food came there were so many flies around us that we kept having to shoo them away. It got to a point where we asked 2 members of staff if we could be seated inside and none of them got back to us. In the end we didn’t finish our food as the flies ended up going on our food, so we asked for the bill and the staff were very quick to provide this. I was very disappointed and will not be visiting here again.

The restaurant was very accommodating in getting us a table at a busy time, responding to menu requests and allowing us to change tangles to get a better view of the fountain show. The staff were friendly. We had only smoothies, but they were delicious. Great venue to enjoy food and drink while enjoying the local sites.

I visited the Cafe on entrance the hostess asked me unless you going to order dinner we cannot receive you, so I simply agreed with the policy. I ordered dinner and mango juice and but they bought me orange instead without acknowledge of my order and when I asked for my juice it end up with having the orange just to save the time and hustle. I ordered for water and found that they are serving water in their own glass bottle unsealed maybe they just filled it from dispenser and charging you for it!
Totally disappointed

Would definitely recommend to try if you are looking out for a great view with great good day. Must try their Nasi goring, kamikaze roll, Malay laska and mie goreng.
Just can’t get enough.
The interiors are just so fine and cozy that we do spend a lot of time sitting and enjoying the beautiful fountain view they have.
The staff were cool as usual and Cheryl was hosting our table this time and she was very helpful in suggesting and explaining each dish that we chose. Really appreciate that thank you Cheryl. And thank you social house.

Will I love to suggest this restaurant to my friends and family as well so they will try the best experience ever and suggestion ever.

We had a family lunch ordering different dishes from the list ie pasta, rice & chicken, burger. Each and everyone of us liked a lot of the taste. Even our youngest one was served uniquely since he was not sure whether he likes the sauce or not as it was supposed to be served together with the pasta. So he got the sauce separately - and ate it all.
Cheryl our waitress was extremely friendly and took care of us very well. Thank you. We really enjoyed our quick lunch in between shopping in Dubai mall.

This has to be one of my favourite restaurants in dubai mall. It is close ti fountain, is romantic and the food is excellent. Their nacho pizza is a defnintiely must try and I am ensuring you won’t go wrong in this. Each bite you take is filled with flabours and I have been craving for the same ever since. The romantic fountain view is perfect for making your evening romantic (seating near the window) and the price is worth for sure
You won’t go wrong with the food choice you order as all the dishes we tried were very delicious
The staff is friendly and they would recommend you dishes to try as well. The interiors are nice and the place is big as well.
I would once again recommend you to order the nacho pizza

Downtown Dubai
You can’t fail to miss Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It towers over the city and resides in the prestigious Downtown development. Once an old army base, Downtown is now the jewel in Dubai’s crown, a beautiful residential and leisure area housing not only the world’s tallest building, but the world’s largest fountains and mall. Wide marble sidewalks are perfect for strolling, with restaurants, art galleries and children’s play areas. Specially commissioned sculptures line the roads and Downtown is often used as a canvas for modern art displays and community events such as Classic Car Shows and National Day parades. In the cooler months, cross one of the many bridges to the Burj Khalifa park and enjoy a picnic alongside residents and visitors, or enjoy a lunch or dinner watch the dancing fountains. Because of its mixed use, Downtown is a fantastic place to mix with Dubai residents and locals and watch real life unfold in a cosmopolitan environment.
