I think this is a traditional Emirati restaurant - it is very popular with locals and you will see many 4x4 double parking outside - especially @ the weekend

There are a number of 'Wafi Gourmets' branches, but this is the first and in my opinion the best. They do a daily dish - closest thing to home cooked Lebanese lunch. Also, usual grills & mezze
