HAPI Dubai Review: Highlights
- The setting: HAPI occupies a bright park location opposite City Walk. It feels casual and easy, with outdoor space nearby and a menu suited to breakfast, lunch or a quick snack. Travellers staying in the area may also find our La Ville City Walk review useful.
- Bone broth: This remains one of HAPI’s signatures. During our visit it was warming, deeply flavoured and served with a bun and salted butter. The official site continues to list slow cooked broth among the restaurant’s core offerings.
- Presentation: Several dishes arrived on metal trays lined with paper. The format suited the relaxed atmosphere and made sharing straightforward.
- The current menu: HAPI still centres on burgers, salads, pho, grilled dishes and slow cooked bone broth. The restaurant also describes its food as free from seed oils. Availability can vary, so the photographs below are a record of our visit rather than a promise of the current selection.
- What stood out: The hot smoked salmon and mashed potato was rich and satisfying. The charcoal chicken with coconut rice was another substantial choice. Breakfast options such as egg pots offer a savoury alternative to sweeter pancakes and bowls.
