Topgolf Lunch: Best Roast Dinner Dubai?

Summer has arrived in Dubai, and ironically, we’re craving a roast dinner, preferably in a dark English-style pub (minus the sticky carpets). It’s one of the rare things we miss from home. Luckily, Dubai offers plenty of great roast dinners, many of which beat my mum’s!

 

The Roast Dinner Dubai Challenge

To kill the long summer indoor boredom, we’ve set ourselves the challenge of finding the best roast dinner Dubai. Think of it as the fun Ramen challenge we did last year – you can read about that here – Best Ramen in Dubai . After over 3 years in Dubai and countless roast dinners, we’ve collected our top 5 favourites. But there are still many more to try, each claiming to be the best according to the Brit community here. So, join us over the next 8 weeks as we eat our way through 8 of the most highly rated roast dinners. It’s a hard life, but someone must do it. We’ll spare you the time and calories with weekly reviews, and at the end, we’ll reveal our top 5! Exciting, right?!

 

Topgolf: A Hidden Gem

Let’s begin with Topgolf Dubai roast dinner. Yes, you read that right—Topgolf! It has a hidden gastro pub called Toad in the Hole, a traditional English-style pub that recently started offering Sunday roast dinners. The word on the street is they’re up there with the best. Let’s find out…

First Impressions

An English-style pub with booth seating, regular tables, and lots of high tables. When we first arrived, we were sat at a high table, but being a little shortie, I asked if we could move to a regular table. This request was honoured the moment a table became free, so first impressions were great. The service was second to none throughout the entire meal.

 

Ordering

We both ordered the Wagyu beef and had the option of it being cooked medium or well done, which was quite impressive. We both chose medium. The other options were lamb shank, baby chicken, and a nut roast. It was also happy hour, and the beers were only 35 AED! But don’t worry, that little happy hour bribe won’t affect our unbiased rating, lol.

 

Taste Test

The beef arrived with roast potatoes, roast parsnips and carrots, a huge Yorkshire pudding, and gravy. Then came the sides: cauliflower cheese, swede mash, sautéed greens, and some horseradish sauce!

The beef was incredible, so soft and plentiful. Everything was absolutely delicious. The highlights, we agreed, were the beef, the incredible Yorkshire pudding, the intensely rich and comforting beef gravy, and the cauliflower cheese, which had a nice cheddar flavour to it! We most definitely hit our 5-a-day with the great selection of veg, and I didn’t need to be told off for not finishing my veg! Our only gripe was the roast potatoes. Yes, they were indeed crispy and soft inside, but we found them too crunchy. I am sure most people would have loved them, but for us, the roast lost half a point on this factor.

Dubai Roast Dinner Overall Verdict

This was a great roast dinner, and you will not be disappointed. It’s easy to book online here – Toad in the Hole Website. There is plenty of parking, sports TVs, and it’s great for families with lots of things to keep the kids entertained. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
