"Greek island flavours, beachfront views and three courses for AED 195. This is lunch with holiday energy."
Iliana’s weekday lunch is the kind of deal that makes a long lunch feel entirely reasonable.
AED 195 gets you three courses by the water at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab: a first course of Greek spreads, salad, sashimi, grilled octopus or meatballs, followed by mains such as fresh fish, lamb chops, moussaka, chicken souvlaki or orzo, then dessert.
It's polished, breezy and much more relaxed than the usual business-lunch formula.
“Go Greek all the way: grilled octopus to start, lamb chops or the fish of the day for mains, then finish with the Greek yoghurt ice cream.”

“Ask for a table close to the water if the weather is behaving. Lunch is smart casual, and all ages are welcome before 7pm.”
