As soon as you step inside the restaurant, the warm, inviting atmosphere envelops you. The restaurant’s design pays homage to its London roots while adding a distinctly contemporary flair that reflects the cosmopolitan vibes of Dubai. The interior is sleek and refined, with rich wooden paneling, plush seating, and subtle lighting that creates an intimate yet upscale dining experience. I very much loved their thick solid wood chairs. The deep, earthy tones of the decor, combined with luxurious finishes, exude a sense of timeless luxury. The space feels cozy, but it’s spacious enough to make you feel like you’re part of something grand. One of the standout features is the terrace, which offers magnificent views of the Burj Khalifa. Dining here feels extra special, especially when the weather is pleasant. The combination of a stunning skyline and high-end dining makes the atmosphere feel both exclusive and inviting.

Menu Highlights

Rowley’s keeps it simple with just a one page menu that is steaks, salad, fries and cake of the day. Every steak order comes with a house salad and unlimited fries. Let’s talk about the salad first. You can’t go wrong with a classic house ceasar salad to start your meal, which is fresh, crisp, and bursting with flavor. The mixed greens are perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of crunch that was light yet creamy, tangy but not overpowering, giving every bite a refreshing finish, preparing your palette for the ultimate steak. A unique offering would be their unlimited serving of their golden crispy fries. You could have as much as you wanted. They’re the kind of fries you just keep munching on, and before you know it, half the plate is gone.

The star of the menu is, of course, the steak, and it’s clear why this restaurant has a reputation for top-quality cuts. The ribeye is a standout, perfectly marbled and cooked to your exact specifications. It had a rich, smoky flavor from the grill that’s hard to beat. As expected the steak was tender and juicy, cutting like butter with every bite. The exciting bit would be their selection of sauces such as Fox, Secret, Fresca, and Peppercorn which compliments the steak beautifully. Being on the launch day, the service at Rowley’s was top-notch. The staff were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable.

Don’t leave without treating yourself to these sweet finishes—they’re the perfect way to cap off an exceptional meal. Desserts are expertly crafted, balancing flavors and textures in a way that makes each bite a joy. The cheesecake is a classic for a reason—creamy, tangy, and perfectly sweet with an outstanding strawberry compote on the side. The dark chocolate pistachio kunafa equally shined, offering a modern twist on a beloved Middle Eastern. Indulgent desserts with a touch of creativity.
