Dubai’s dining scene never stops evolving, and the latest addition is Veranda, a newly opened Greek restaurant in Almas Tower, Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT). Overlooking the lake, Veranda offers an inviting space where guests can enjoy authentic Greek cuisine in a relaxed setting.

Step into Veranda, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a sunlit courtyard in Greece. The interiors blend rustic charm with modern elegance, featuring earthy tones, textured stone walls, and warm wooden accents.

 

Lush greenery adds vibrancy, while soft, ambient lighting creates an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you choose to dine indoors or unwind on the outdoor terrace with shisha, Veranda promises a laid-back yet refined experience.

Under the leadership of Chef Antonis Melas, Veranda stays true to Greek culinary traditions. Their “Meat the Greeks” concept highlights centuries-old grilling techniques, offering a menu filled with rich, bold flavors.

 

Signature dishes include:

  • Lamb Antikristo – a traditional slow-cooked lamb dish
  • Chicken Exohiko – chicken wrapped in phyllo pastry with cheese and vegetables
  • Feta Tyropita – crispy feta cheese pie
  • Spetsofai Pilliou – Greek sausage with peppers in a rich tomato sauce
  • Moussaka – a classic layered eggplant and meat dish

No Greek meal is complete without a drink. Veranda’s bar team crafts signature cocktails using local ingredients, adding a refreshing twist to traditional Greek flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty feast, a scenic dining spot, or a cozy evening with shisha by the lake, Veranda in JLT is the perfect place for any of these.
