2. About Where To Eat Dubai
WhereToEatDubai.com is an independent editorial restaurant guide covering dining in Dubai, UAE, published by Kings Hospitality LLC (Seven Palms Hotel & Apartments, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates). We publish restaurant reviews, area guides, cuisine guides, top lists, and food-related editorial content.

4. Our Content
All articles, reviews, guides, ratings, photography (where credited to us), and editorial copy published on this Site are the intellectual property of Where To Eat Dubai, unless otherwise attributed. We invest significant time and resource in producing independent, original food journalism about Dubai's restaurant scene.
Short quotations (up to 50 words) with a clear attribution link back to the original article are permitted for editorial purposes. All other reproduction requires our written consent.
5. Restaurant Information & Accuracy
We make every effort to ensure that restaurant information — including prices, opening hours, menus, addresses, and contact details — is accurate at the time of publication. However, the Dubai restaurant scene moves fast. Restaurants close, menus change, prices shift, and chefs move on. Prices shown are indicative only (typically in AED) and may not reflect current pricing.
We strongly recommend calling ahead or checking the restaurant's own website before visiting. We accept no responsibility for losses or inconvenience caused by outdated information.
6. Third-Party Links & Booking
The Site contains links to third-party platforms including reservation services (such as OpenTable, Zomato, and Sevenrooms), restaurant websites, social media, and other external sources. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site.
Some "Book a Table" links on this Site may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive a commission if you make a booking through them, at no additional cost to you. Such relationships do not influence our editorial ratings or reviews.
7. Advertising & Commercial Relationships
WhereToEatDubai.com may carry advertising, sponsored content, and promotional partnerships. Where content is sponsored or represents a paid placement, it will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Partnership," or "Advertisement." Our editorial reviews are never influenced by advertising relationships, and restaurants cannot pay for favourable coverage.
If you are interested in advertising or partnership opportunities, please visit our advertise page.
8. User Submissions
When you submit a restaurant suggestion via our Suggest a Restaurant form, you grant us the right to use the information you provide in the production of editorial content. We do not publish personal information submitted through our forms without explicit consent. Submissions do not guarantee coverage or review.
Any feedback, ideas, or suggestions you submit to us become our property. We are not obligated to keep submissions confidential, compensate you for them, or publish them.
