Revealed: The three most popular entries in the “Best Middle Eastern” and “Best South East Asian” categories of the 2017 JLT Restaurant Awards

Online voting for the inaugural JLT Restaurant Awards closed on 31st October 2017 and over 7,000 JLT residents, office dwellers, and visitors voted for their favourite Jumeirah Lakes Towers restaurants, cafes, and bars.

In the run-up to the awards ceremony on the 27th November at the fabulous Bonnington Jumeirah Lakes Towers, we’ll reveal the finalists, category by category. Today, we’ll bring you JLT's most popular Middle Eastern and South East Asian restaurants.

JLT, right in the heart of new Dubai, certainly has no shortage of great Middle Eastern restaurants and our "Best Middle Eastern" category, sponsored by Ankur Trading and Aroma Indian Basmati Rice,  proved very popular with the online voters. In the end, the finalists were: Congratulations to Something Baked, Own Cafe, and Bait Maryam!

South East Asian restaurants are also in abundance in JLT and the finalists in the "Best South East Asian" category of the JLT Restaurant Awards were: Congratulations to Wokyo Noodle Bar, Betawi Cafe, and Indo Indo Seafood and Grill!
