9.5/10Our first visit to Authentic was somewhat of a surprise. The 30% fork discount brought it into reality. The entrance and indeed everything about the place screams oppulence. We were taken to one of many lovely tables, my first thoughts on being seated was how busy the place was. To the menu and again I was pleased that despite being Dubai prices there were some reasonably priced dishes on the menu and even on the wine list I found a perfectly quaffable rose for €30 in amounst the €100s options. In all we were very impressed, quality of food was outstanding, service on the whole was attentive, atmosphere with the delightful pianist in the background, set the whole thing off perfectly. My only gripe was that once we finished it took an age to get the attention of a waiter, who to be fair were all running around AND the big negative was not automatically getting the 30% discount until reminding them, slightly embarrassing end to the otherwise wonderful evening.

10/10Simply divine. Our latest visit to Authentic was just perfect. Such a treat and a level above everything else, maybe bar Gusto’s. The venue is still breath taking and the food just keeps getting better and better. We will be back later in the year. I can’t recommend trying Authentic enough.

6.5/10Beautiful restaurant very expensive though, My starter was not good we asked for calamari and it came hard and nearly burnt. not happy with that . The main was better really enjoyed it so my experience was 50/50 . . would I go again I don't think so as it's not really my style I like more up lifting restaurants with a vibe .
Authentic Restaurant • Owner
Dear Mr. Owen, we are sorry to hear that your experience wasn't has you expected, Authentic is a restaurant with a classic ambient, were we have always a piano playing as background, Regarding your comments about the starter, we passed the information to our chef and we will be more careful to not happen in the future. We hope in the future, you could give an opportunity and try Authentic again. Warm regards João Barracha
