We decided to try Novikov in Dubai.
Well. Visually, apart from the view of the Singing Fountain, it is an ordinary cafe that does not reach the restaurant, unlike the price category of dishes. Outside there is a reception desk. Inside, at the entrance, there is a showcase with desserts and a bar. There are tables around the edges and in the depths. There is a summer terrace outside the window. When she got to the couch, the administrator clarified: in what language the menu is needed. (It is already clear what choice native Russian speakers made).
Picking up a cardboard sheet, there were notes of surprise in his eyes. The cost of one dish starts from 90 dirhams (2250₽).
"Did you know that there is a high price tag in the Emirates, especially for restaurant cuisine" - will flash through your mind.
Yes, I agree. That's the only reason we stayed to taste the carbohydrate order:
🫓 Rooibos tea (tree bark diluted with water) 2/10
Pasta Bolognese (not bad, but the protein component is not enough) 8/10
Oatmeal lasagna (I learned that it is made of oats at home by looking into the translator. The only thing that the taste buds felt was wet pasta sheets with tasteless meat sand) 4/10
🫓Napoleon cake (a dry piece with custard and decor for the price of a whole 2kg cake) 3/10
Of the disadvantages, you can add the lack of welcome bottled water, unlike the surrounding tables. I think they knew something and asked for a menu in a foreign language 😅
And so, apart from a quick serving of dishes, a free bread basket and an additional Free cheese for pasta with a view of the fountains, there is nothing remarkable.
Total: 5/10

A wonderful place, a wonderful kitchen! Russian Russian hospitality and friendliness (although the staff is local) allows me to be proud once again that I am RUSSIAN!!! Despite the full landing, the guys found a place for our family on the balcony. My daughter managed to enjoy the musical fountain three times!!!
Price? You guys are in Dubai... 😉
Bravo, Arkady Anatolyevich!!!

Classic excellent cuisine at Novikov cafe in Dubai Mall. There is definitely an understanding that there will definitely be no unpleasant surprises ! Only high-quality fresh products , familiar dishes . I recommend you to visit for 3 reasons :
1. The location is great, there is a private terrace.
2. You can watch the evening Fountain show right at the table, bread and circuses!
3. The serving size will please you.
Thank you to the staff, they helped prepare a surprise for my daughter on her birthday.

We booked a table on the Russian website.
We got a call back from Dubai for confirmation.
The reservation was made earlier, as much as a month and a half in advance.
Noted others .
Beautiful view of the fountains.
Minuses :
It's very hot on the balcony, of course))
I reminded you about the doctor twice.
Congratulations
My bodies are down to 1%.I asked to put it on charge
As a result, the body was lying somewhere and it was never charged or told about it
They were returned to those who had already sat down
I like the taste of dishes in Russia much more.
I have heard that, oddly enough, but in the UAE it is difficult to find a good product for restaurants
Well, how expensive is everything in Dubai compared to Russia)
There is no alcohol
There are non-alcoholic cocktails
The restaurant itself is small inside
It is located on the fourth floor.
We need to find a Nike store and a restaurant right behind it.
We found it without any problems
Any salesperson from the department will tell you

I will give 5 stars for the quality, the client approach of the administrators, the service and, of course, for the kitchen! Everything is delicious, a good location, the menu will satisfy the wishes of different audiences, I think that the management and the chef have developed the menu competently. I'll come back here next time. A cool view from the balcony of the fountain in the evening. I am responsibly reconstructing! Arkady Anatolyevich and the team, thank you! 👋😁

In Dubai, apparently, you can break everything, if in Moscow Novikov can be said to be the guarantor of sane service and cuisine. Then everything is exactly the opposite. Mediocre dishes for a high price, coffee is worse than at Lukoil gas stations.
Of the advantages, only a good view of the fountains.

One of the few good establishments in Dubai Mall! Nice atmosphere and a lovely terrace! There is a menu in Russian! Very tasty food, the price is a little too high, like all the food prices in Dubai! Super nice and unobtrusive waiters!The expectation of dishes is almost minimal. A very nice place!

Russian russians went to the site to see the menu, it is disgusting for Russians, there is nothing at all, since even a barcode cannot allow Russian tourists to make it easier to identify the dish, there is no staff in Russian, in general, I do not advise, the average check is 400-500 dirhams, but it will not be food but desserts

It is expensive, rich and not very tasty.
Beautiful view. We had a very modest snack together. Without alcohol for 15,000 rubles.
It's good to have a good dinner, a check of about 30000rubles for two

The food is mediocre, the service is the same, to sit on the veranda you need to book in advance, in fact it is impossible to do this. There is no wine list and no alcohol in general. After the visit, heartburn appeared...in general, it is not a Moscow Novikov, the restaurant is focused on the flow. We won't be coming back.
