About Iliana
Middle Eastern cooking is the anchor here, served from noon onwards on a beachfront terrace in Jumeirah Marsa, with shisha and table service running alongside it well into the evening. The kitchen keeps going until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and until 3am on Friday and Saturday, which is when the room fills — a mixed crowd of Dubai residents, Middle Eastern regulars and Western European visitors, mostly in the 25 to 45 bracket, drawn by hip hop, R&B and commercial hits played at a volume that still allows conversation. Private dining is available for groups, and valet handles the arrival. Smart casual is enforced, the drinking age is 21, and prices sit in the mid range rather than the beachfront premium you might expect. The season runs October to April, when the open-air setting works as intended; book ahead for Thursday through Saturday.
