Restaurant with the Best Views of Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountains
Maison De Curry is a contemporary global dining concept situated in Souk Al Bahar, Downtown Dubai, directly overlooking the Dubai Fountain with an unobstructed front-row view of the Burj Khalifa. Brought to life by the Passion F&B Group, the same team behind Dubai’s two Michelin-starred restaurant Trèsind Studio, the restaurant is built around a singular and compelling concept: tracing the evolution of curries across civilisations, continents, and cultures, from Europe and Asia to Africa and South America. It is rated 4.1 on OpenTable across 185 diners, and consistently praised across TripAdvisor and Google for its food quality, attentive service, and what many guests describe as the most magical dining backdrop in the city.
Restaurant Features and Dining Experience
The setting at Maison De Curry is as much a part of the experience as the food itself. Located on the terrace strip of Souk Al Bahar at the third level, the restaurant sits adjacent to the Dubai Fountain lake with a completely unobstructed view of both the fountain performances, which run every thirty minutes from 6pm, and the full façade of the Burj Khalifa rising dramatically above.
Guests who secure a front-row terrace seat effectively have a reserved position for every fountain show of the evening, something that draws tourists and residents alike in equal measure. The interior design blends modern and Asian influences, with rattan wood windows, decorative murals, and warm lighting that creates an intimate ambience indoors, while the outdoor terrace has the kind of open energy that suits long, unhurried evenings with a view.
The menu is the restaurant’s most distinctive quality, built around a meticulous curation of curries from across the world, exploring how the concept of the curry has evolved differently across European, Asian, African, and South American culinary traditions. Every dish is crafted with fresh ingredients, house-blended spices, and a focus on layered flavour rather than heat alone.
Standout dishes that guests repeatedly highlight include the lobster risotto, lamb chops, and tenderloin cooked to consistent perfection, while the broader menu covers starters and mains rooted in global curry traditions with a refined contemporary presentation. A dedicated vegetarian and vegan selection is available, as are gluten-free options, making the menu broadly inclusive. The restaurant also offers a romantic dinner for two package at AED 1,500 per couple, which includes a three-course set menu and a bottle of Champagne, served daily from 7pm to 9pm and positioned squarely at the fountain terrace tables.
The beverage programme covers a full bar with a wide selection of wines, beers, spirits, and an extensive list of signature cocktails and mocktails, with creative drinks designed to complement the spice-forward food. A Happy Hour runs daily from 1pm to 6pm, and Ladies Night takes place every Wednesday and Sunday from 6pm to 10pm.
A resident DJ keeps the atmosphere lively through the evening, while shisha is available for guests who want to settle in for the full evening experience. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, making it one of the few fountain-view venues in Souk Al Bahar that actively caters to business lunches and afternoon visits as well as evening dining. Weekend brunches are also available for those looking for a longer weekend affair with Burj Khalifa views as a backdrop.
Maison De Curry is wheelchair accessible throughout, offers free Wi-Fi, and online reservations are available and strongly recommended, particularly for terrace seating and weekend evenings. The restaurant caters to birthdays, anniversaries, group gatherings, and corporate events, with the team experienced at accommodating special requests and occasion setups. It is well suited for date nights, family dining, luxury dining, and tourist experiences alike, and guests with a preference for fountain-facing tables should mention this at the time of booking to secure the best position.
The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall Metro Station on the Red Line is the closest public transport stop, making the restaurant highly accessible without a car. Dubai Mall is a two-minute walk across the bridge from Souk Al Bahar. The Dubai Fountain itself is directly in front of the restaurant. Business Bay is approximately five minutes away by car, DIFC is ten minutes away, and Dubai International Airport is around twenty minutes depending on traffic.
