Updated 6 October 2026
These four Dubai dinner offers list a package or food price of AED300 or less for two, from a quick shared starter and two mains to a three-course date with wine. That is the published offer price, not a guaranteed all-in cap: where tax, service or extras are not stated, confirm the final amount before booking. The comparison focuses on what two people receive and when each offer can be booked.

1. PizzaExpress UAE
Best for a relaxed, low-spend weekday date
For the easiest weeknight plan, PizzaExpress puts a starter, two mains and two lemonades on the table for AED99 for two. It runs Monday to Thursday, 6–9pm, at participating non-licensed outlets. PizzaExpress Live JLT has its own tiers: AED109 for the same food-and-lemonade format, or AED149 with two selected house drinks. The selected menu applies, and dynamite prawns and calamari are excluded from the starter choice; extras and upgrades cost more. It is the lightest spend in this group, with the restaurant’s everyday casual format rather than a special set-menu room.
Offer details: AED99 for two at participating non-licensed outlets; AED109 for two at PizzaExpress Live JLT, or AED149 with two selected house drinks there. Two selected mains, one shared starter and two selected lemonades. At Live JLT, the AED149 upgrade swaps in two selected house drinks. Some starters are excluded; add-ons cost extra. Monday–Thursday, 6pm–9pm; dine-in only. Excludes KidZania, Production City and Umbrella Beach.

2. Manava, Sofitel Dubai The Palm
Best for a generous buffet with no fixed course sequence
If the date is better spent grazing than choosing courses, Manava’s daily dinner buffet is listed at AED195 for two, food only. Sofitel calls it a 2-for-1 offer and says drinks are extra, so AED195 is not the final bill if you want beverages. The buffet’s live stations cover Arabic and international favourites, and dinner is listed every day from 6:30 to 10:30pm at the resort on Palm Jumeirah’s East Crescent. This is the group’s broadest meal, but its final spend depends on drinks.
Offer details: AED195 for two people, food only; beverages are charged separately. The operator describes this as a 2-for-1 dinner buffet. Its live cooking stations serve Arabic and international dishes; the offer price applies to food only. Dinner daily, 6:30pm–10:30pm; Sofitel Dubai The Palm, East Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah.

3. Rodeo Drive, Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai
Best for a Monday date with a proper shared dessert
Rodeo Drive is the most deliberately date-shaped offer here, but the extras are separate. Its Monday You & Me menu is AED220 for two: one starter to share, a main each, one shared dessert and a large water. Romeo & Juliet is AED289 for two and adds a house beverage or soft drink each. Tables are in the restaurant’s family-friendly, non-smoking area, with a 2.5-hour seating time. If you want flowers, chocolates or candles, the Blooms and Grand table setups add AED105 or AED195 per couple and need prepayment; they are not included in the menu price.
Offer details: You & Me: AED220 for two. Romeo & Juliet: AED289 for two with one house beverage or soft drink each. Both packages include one shared starter, one main dish each, one shared dessert and one large water. The AED289 tier adds one house beverage or soft drink per person.

4. Meraki Greek Taverna, Aloft Palm Jumeirah
Best for a Greek three-course menu with wine included
For a Greek dinner that already includes wine, Meraki’s Couples Night Special is listed at AED299 per couple for a three-course set menu and two hours of unlimited house wine. The offer is on a live OpenTable experience page that showed multiple dates on 6 October; Marriott lists Meraki at Aloft Palm Jumeirah, on the Palm’s East Crescent. The public offer does not spell out dish choices, which wines are included, or extra charges, so confirm those details and the exact seating when booking. This is the most complete date-night package under the cap, but it sits right at AED299.
Offer details: AED299 per couple. Three-course set menu for two plus two hours of unlimited house wine. Meraki is listed by Marriott at Aloft Palm Jumeirah on the East Crescent.

How to choose
For the lowest published price, start with PizzaExpress at AED99; for a buffet, Manava is AED195 before drinks. Rodeo Drive’s AED220 You & Me menu adds a shared dessert and is Monday-only. Meraki’s AED299 offer pairs three courses with two hours of house wine. The published amounts fit the cap, but Manava’s drinks are extra and tax/service treatment is not stated consistently; confirm the final bill before booking.
