Very tasty food, good selection of food and drinks, skilled personnel (waiters, cooks).
Pleasant interior with interesting lighting. Open kitchen. Not cold inside!
Desserts are great: taste marakuja+gorgonzola and brownie.
Almost all personnel can speak Russian.
Atmosphere of Russia. Nice place for breakfast or late dinner with cocktails. Love it. Service and food are near perfect.

We had an incredible dinner at Duo: delicious food, reasonable prices, great ambiance, and friendly service.
I highly recommend the Orzo, and Smoked Burrata + Avocado Bruschetta.
The best oysters of my life! Incredibly tasty and beautiful.
There is a Russian-speaking staff.
The place is warm, comfortable, and cozy.
Must-visit as a separate attraction)
A very good restaurant, with delicious food, beautiful interior and great service. Everything is put in the style of Dmitry Blinov and his duobend. It's hard to find a restaurant when you arrive by car, there are no signs from the signs, this is the only disadvantage, everything else is fine. It's cool to realize what level our chefs and Russian restaurants in general have. I wish you good luck and success in this project. I will be in Dubai, I will definitely come back for a delicious meal. I recommend 10 out of 10 to everyone
Duo is a favorite restaurant in Dubai, which is radically different from the typical others with a bright palette of flavors and unusual combinations of ingredients. The Russian staff creates a unique atmosphere and cuisine for the local region. This is an island of gastronomic Russia, which we have missed so much. The discovery was a breath of fresh air, a kind of teleport to Moscow/Peter. You can come here for the best breakfasts in the city, for a delicious lunch and dinner in a lively atmosphere with a glass of wine. Your taste buds will be thrilled!
Delicious tartare, freshly baked bread, duck ravioli, tomato salad, pink lemonade... the staff is pleasant, friendly, everyone is smiling and happy to welcome guests. Good luck to you, we come back again and again! A must-visit.
Unfortunately, one of my favorite restaurant concepts from chef Dmitry Blinov did not meet my expectations this time.
What is more expensive in Russia is not even worth discussing, I don't see anything like that in it, however, serving dishes, communicating with waiters (who were different, although one is always attached) and the lack of a private toilet in the restaurant left an unpleasant impression. I also almost forgot about VAT at the end, knowing that in Dubai nothing is practically taxed, to see this at the end of the check was, to put it mildly, a disappointment.
The bread was served so that my friend and I would tear it up ourselves, I do not recall that it was like that in St. Petersburg. I liked one dish, but the second mango ceviche was super weird: pieces of fish and pieces of mango. I don't remember, but there didn't even seem to be any sauce.
The waiters were changing, they didn't know if they had already brought us dessert or not. This is definitely a minus for this level of institution.
Well, yes, a shared toilet in a business building, it seems to be understandable, but still strange.
In St. Petersburg, I love Harvest the most, in my opinion the most successful project of all, everything is stable there. Well, I would have eaten a lot more delicious dishes there for the amount that is here. 😁
That's great! Unfortunately, it seems that only Russians can cook nowadays, so this is one of the few restaurants in Dubai where it is really delicious :)
The kitchen and the atmosphere are very sincere, the guys work at their best, as in their other projects. It is important that the taste of top dishes from other restaurants is just as cool)
7 stars out of 5! It's just a great place. Breakfasts, dinners, cocktails are all very tasty. The staff, the chefs, the best!
That's exactly what the expansion of Russian cuisine should be. I am glad that you can try both new dishes and classic DUO specialties.
There are no photos, because when it's so delicious, there's no time for the phone.
We came to the restaurant for lunch today, we drove purposefully because we had heard about this restaurant
I'll start with the fact that out of 4 waiters, three are Russian speakers, but a girl who does not understand Russian came up to us.
Although all the neighboring tables had Russian-speaking waiters. In general, the bottom line is that in English it is difficult for me to explain about all my allergies to products and I had to ask again about the composition, etc., etc. and it is unclear to me if a Russian person is standing next to why not approach?
When I asked why we were served by a girl with whom we do not understand each other, although there are free Russian waiters nearby, I was told that we do not have a separation, very strange of course (sort it out as you want, what is called)
Although we came here knowing that there are Russian-speaking staff
Nothing special to eat, fried egg with mushrooms (not salted)
There are no napkins on the table
They don't bring sugar for tea
The kettle is without a lid, scalds your hands when you pour the tea leaves into a cup
Dessert chocolate pie is hyper sweet, as if I ate a glass of sugar, although I do pastry and love sweets, but this is clearly too much
In general, I don't want to go back a second time
The interior is normal, modern and stylish
This restaurant is located in a quiet residential area of Hills, where we were invited by our friends who live in Dubai!!! You rarely find good vegetables in the UAE, but here were the best pink tomatoes in the salad!!! In general, excellent cuisine, everything is very tasty and an unusual presentation!!! I highly recommend that you go and try it
Everything is very tasty!!! The speed of serving dishes is super fast, the waiters speak Russian, friendly, attentive, funny!
A special recommendation is cabbage with black truffle! Just a bomb! I never would have thought that cabbage could be so delicious!
Wonderful place!
Very tasty, cozy, pleasant! A great place to visit in Dubai! We stopped for dinner after the Burj Khalifa and a walk in the promenade area at the Dubai Opera. I recommend it!
I really like the zucchini salad! I don't remember the name! The staff is polite, the service is top-notch! Delicious desserts. There were breakfasts. It's very beautiful inside 🙌
Attentive staff, the best cuisine for every taste! Pleasant atmosphere) there are even delicious non-alcoholic cocktails that are not inferior to alcoholic ones.
For connoisseurs of really delicious food) Our St. Petersburg can do 10 out of 10)))) so who in Dubai missed the service and taste here!) we took risotto, desserts 🔝🔝🔝
Very tasty and excellent service. The cost, let's say, justifies itself.

The advantages are the atmosphere, very friendly Russian-speaking staff.
Cons - one of the dishes was terribly over-salted (to the credit of the institution - they were redone without question and not included in the bill). One of the company's participants was ill at the table the next day (((.
