Best Sunday roasts in Dubai: seven plates and carveries compared

Checked: 9 October 2026

A Dubai Sunday roast can mean a neatly priced plate, a choice of one or two meats, or an open carvery where you can go back for more. The best fit depends on what you want on the plate and how the bill works: this shortlist compares seven current Sunday services by their roast format, hours, published price and drink terms. It includes a family-friendly hotel dining room, a British pub, a creekside à-la-carte menu and a beachfront carvery.

Seven Sunday roasts worth comparing

The Nine — a meat-by-meat menu with published family pricing

At The Nine, you choose the roast rather than buying into a large brunch package. The Sunday menu lists a meat-free plate at AED95, roast chicken with herb stuffing at AED110, prime ribeye at AED145, and a mixed roast with two meats at AED155. Each is served with seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower-cheese croquettes and crisp roast potatoes. A five-house-beverage package is AED199 per person; children aged 6–12 pay half price for a half portion, and those under five eat free; a rate for five-year-olds is not published. VAT, municipality fee and service charge are included.

There is one menu detail to check before choosing lamb: the operator lists Suffolk pork or roast leg of lamb at AED130, then shows a second roast-leg-of-lamb line at AED150 without explaining the difference. Confirm the lamb cut and price when booking. The menu is subject to change.

Dhow & Anchor — choose one roast or combine two

Dhow & Anchor keeps the offer simple but lets you mix the plate: its Sunday roast menu prices one meat at AED135 and any two at AED195. Choose from ribeye, corn-fed chicken, pork belly, lamb shoulder or a vegetarian nut roast. Every option comes with duck-fat roast potatoes, honey-roasted root vegetables, braised red cabbage, cauliflower-cheese croquettes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. The offer runs every Sunday from noon to 10:30pm and is listed as valid through 31 December 2026.

The menu includes VAT, municipality fees and service charge. It does not publish a child rate or beverage inclusion, and it does not explicitly state whether the meat prices are per person. Ask when reserving, especially if you are ordering the two-meat option for a group.

Lakeview — order the cut you want à la carte

Lakeview is the pick if you would rather choose one roast dish from a menu than join a set package. Its current Sunday menu prices beef and lamb at AED135, and chicken and pork belly at AED125. Each cut is listed with Yorkshire pudding and its matching jus; braised cabbage, roast potatoes, mixed vegetables and a parsnip crisp are served alongside. The menu says its prices include municipality fees, service charge and VAT.

The restaurant sits above Dubai Creek and the golf course, with a terrace and live sports screenings. Sunday roast is listed from noon to 7pm. A separate Sunday brunch is scheduled to begin on 1 November, 1–4pm; if you are visiting after that date, check how the brunch and à-la-carte roast run alongside each other.

Goose Island Tap House JBR — a bottomless carvery

At Goose Island Tap House in FIVE LUXE, the point is the carving station: the operator lists beef, lamb, chicken and a vegan roast, with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and traditional desserts. The bottomless carvery is AED145 per person from noon to 6pm. A separate AED345-per-person tier adds house pours from 1–4pm; the page does not itemise the pours.

For a group, the operator also advertises a fourth roast package free when three are booked. It is subject to availability, and advance booking is recommended. The page does not state child pricing or whether its rates include fees, so check the final total when reserving.

Jones The Grocer at West Beach — stay for roast or add a drinks window

Jones The Grocer at Palm West Beach keeps its Sunday service running from 1pm to 11:30pm. Pick chicken or beef, then decide whether the plate is enough: chicken is AED129 roast-only, AED149 with one selected drink, or AED229 with two hours of house wine, beer and spirits. Beef is AED149, AED169 and AED249 across the same three tiers.

The offer works for a late lunch or a long evening by the water, and the operator describes the meal as roast with all the trimmings. Its listing does not say whether the prices are per person or per roast order, or whether fees are included; confirm those details before comparing it with per-person carveries.

JamJars — make the drinks package part of the decision

JamJars starts its Big Sunday Roast at 1pm and serves until it sells out. The AED99 plate comes with a choice of meat, Yorkshire pudding, house-roasted potatoes, root vegetables and gravy. If you want drinks with lunch, the current weekly offer lists AED165 for the roast plus three house drinks, or AED259 for the roast and two hours of unlimited house drinks.

That is a useful choice if your table wants different levels of drinks without switching venues. The weekly listing does not say whether prices are per person or per roast plate/order; it also does not name the available meats, give a child price or say whether service and fees are included. Book ahead and check the package details; the operator says service can end when the roast sells out.

Fibber Magee's — an Irish-pub roast that runs into the evening

Fibber Magee’s lists its Sunday roast from noon to 11pm, which gives you a wider window than a conventional midday sitting. Its latest linked 2026 menu prices one traditional roast dinner plus one house beverage at AED120 per person and marks the promotion dine-in only; roast orders are not available for takeaway.

The operator’s earlier March 2026 menu showed AED100 for the same offer, while its newer May 2026 menu lists AED120. We have used the newer menu, but it is worth confirming the current rate before you go. Neither version breaks down the roast meats and sides or states whether taxes and service are included.

Which Dubai Sunday roast suits your plan?

• Bring children: The Nine is the only selection that publishes child terms: half price for ages 6–12 on a half portion, and free for under-fives.
• Go back for another serving: Goose Island JBR is the explicit bottomless carvery; its house-pour tier has its own 1–4pm window.
• Choose the meat yourself: Lakeview prices each cut à la carte, while Dhow & Anchor lets you choose one meat or combine two.
• Plan drinks into the total: Compare Jones The Grocer’s one-drink and two-hour tiers with JamJars’ three-drink or two-hour packages; the inclusions are not the same.
• Arrive later: Jones The Grocer runs until 11:30pm, and Fibber Magee’s publishes a roast service until 11pm.

Last reviewed: 9 October 2026. Sunday menus and weekly offers can change; reconfirm the price, service window and included drinks before visiting.
