- Open
- 9am to 1am daily

- 10am to 11pm daily
- Where
- Cluster D, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai

- Open
- 7am to 1am daily

Berenjak (Dar Wasl Mall)
- Open
- Noon to 11.30pm, closed 5pm to 6pm Mon to Thu
- Where

The Hummus House (JLT)
- Open
- 10am to midnight daily
- Where

- Open
- 10am to 1am daily
- Where
- First floor, Unit 223, Wafi Mall, Oud Metha Road, Umm Hurair 2, Dubai
Hommos Beiruti is the plate here, and the bread keeps coming if you ask. This is the older Wafi Mall counter rather than the fountain-side one at Dubai Mall, and it shuts with the mall.
