We are in the process of redesigning the Time Out Dubai site. We want to give you more reviews, more ideas and more ways to enjoy Dubai. We’ve got loads of ideas for how we can do things better. But we also want to get your input as well.

We would really appreciate your comments on what you think would make the site better. It might be something really simple – like the colour of our headlines, or a really far-fetched wish – like the ability to browse menus and book a table in a restaurant.

Either way we are listening.

Please leave your comments below and please continue to use Time Out Dubai.

This week in "News and Rumours" p7, you say you are "bemused that: Easter eggs are still in supermarkets and not discounted"?.

Well, It's totally logical as Orthodox Easter will be this year on May 5 (it's not always exactly on the same date with Catholic Easter).

Best regards.

Hi, i wanted to inquire about the award criteria for the best restaurant in Dubai, apparently yesterday i visited Options by Sanjeev Kapoor near the Trade center in dubai on seeing reviews on Timeout Dubai, i was told it had won Time Out Best Restaurant Award 2013 i want to know how do you rate a restaurant? as i was extremely dissatisfied by their service. On pre booking a table on phone, on reaching i was made to sit in a dingy corner without any air conditioning, the food was way below average, the mutton starters had stale smell, the portions were too small, and the biggest disappointment was the service, it took almost an hour for the main course to arrive, we had a 3 month old baby with us due to which we couldn't afford to wait for long, the fish gravy had very little portion of fish and most of it was filled with capsicum, i could hardly see any fish. Im really disappointed by this. please let me know the evaluation criteria of timeout dubai for the best restaurant award. And reviews like these question standards of not just the restaurant but Timeout as well. Regards, Kapil

No review. But, I think you should include the once a week outdoor cinema screening info/details as part of your "TO Film" pages. It would be useful. Thanking in advance

It would be really good to see some more reviews about the vegetarian aspects of a menu on your restaurant guide. Most vegetarians do not want to go to vegetarian only restaurants but would like to know how well the menu caters for such.

If possible, the other massive bug bear is brunches which do not label the food with a (V) if it is veggie. I would hope time out dubai has enough influence to perhaps start changing this practice with the restaurants

Marina Yacht Club Breakfast

22/2/13
We have been looking forward to a great breakfast today - what a disappointment!
To make it short:
The service was lousy, we needed to ask 3 times for our cafe, you couldn't be fast enough eating, they where faster in removing your plate.
The warm breakfast was cold, the scrambled eggs where tasteless.
The place had not been busy at all. We asked for the manager who was not at all accommodating.
Giving 1 out of 10 points.
The neighboring table had the same problem.

I am an international flight attendant. I travel fre3quently to Dubai, Sao Paulo, and other cities where you publish Time Out. I rely on your magazine for local information on restaurants and entertainment, and have been happy with your information. I would like to get a City Card and give feedback for the many wonderful restaurants I have visited. I travel to different cities all the tine. How can I obtain a city card for myself and a friend?

p.s. Nomad Restaurant at Dubai Creekside is EXCELLENT for Asian food. Everything was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. Can;t wait to go again!

Add the longitude and latitude of hotels and bars so we can enter them in our GPS. Half the time the cab drivers dont know where there at.

I got the timoutdubai city card.. but it would appear that locations that provide offers don't announce that they actually have a special discount if I have the card. Also, Timeoutdubai should look into an easy way for members to identify participating outlets, I just realized that I visit a lot of locations that I would have obtained a discount, but I didn't just because I didn't know.

Hi, I love your site and the magazine as it covers a great range of activities and keeps us all in touch with what's going on.

My only bugbear is that FREQUENTLY the timings given for the cinema listings are grossly inaccurate and if we only use your guide for our cinema we get there to find the film has already started. If there is any way to correct this please do so. This is particularly in respect of the cinema at Ibn Battuta Mall.

Thanks

Morgan woman's fashion in the Emirates Mall, what is the shop number or part of which chain?

Posted by: Kathy Pembry on 19 Oct ' 12 at 14:43

I had booked a table at the 101 restaurant on the Palm for a birthday treat the scenary and menu looked very inviting however the service and the standard of the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the seafood starter to be present wth a plate of crushed ice with clams and whelks on a stick no dressing or accompanying salad. The Chiclen Paela was thigh meat and not presented in a manner you would expect. The overall dining experience was very disappointing as was the very big bill at the end of the night. Niether I or my friends will be going back there again.

Your website and magazines are a great help to me when I visit Dubai.
It would be even greater if there was some sort of forum or like an "ask an agony aunt" feature, where you can ask simple questions like, if and how much to tip, or which restaurant in the dubai mall has the best view of the fountains, without having to search through lots and lots of information or reviews.
We were also looking for a review of Brandi Pizzeria at The Dubai Mall but didn't find one. We've eaten there now, and as Italians, we find the pizza one of the best authentic Italian ones so far, although the rest of the food isn't as great. Maybe you can try and review Brandi?

This is a technical request, The web site makes its own decision to switch to the mobile version, with no option of going back. Now I am using IE10 and while I am browsing, I suddenly find myself on the mobile version. Can you please fix that, its annoying me personally and it will annoy many people once windows 8 is released.

I would love to able to print out a pdf page with all the City Card locations. Very often I realise days later that I could have used my card for discount. Thanks :)

I would like to place a review of my very disapponting experience with Pace e Luce hair and beauty salon in Dubai Marina mall. I have been using this salon ever since moving to the marina area. I have been happy with the young Lebanese man who has cut, high-lighted, low-lighted and styled my hair. I have spent quite a lot of money in this salon.
But it seems this salon has no respect for its customers. After going, in person yesterday to book an appointment for Tuesday and speaking to my regular hairdresser, who was at reception as I made my appointment, today I was phoned to say the salon is cancelling the appointment because apparently it is his day off. Could he not remember this yesterday?
I now have no other available time this week to make another appointment and in fact will be making no more appointments at this salon. If I can't be treated with respect in an expensive salon where I am a regular patron, then I will spend my money elsewhere.
I will not be using this salon ever again as they have no respect for their own customers.

Hi, I have a photo of mine published here and I want to have it removed. What can I do to get it removed? Thanks

Posted by: Marcus68 on 27 Jun ' 12 at 15:42

I apologise if this is not the correct forum...

I found the cover from your recent "Old Dubai" issue to be quite beautiful. I wonder if it might be possible to purchase the original art work, or perhaps a text-free digital copy might be available?

Thank you. Keep up the good work!

In the Bars & Clubs section could we have a search option by age group? Looking for a venue with music and dancing frequented by a more "mature" crowd. Thanks

Posted by: Prafull on 21 Jun ' 12 at 10:05

There must should be one option to search a movie by name in film page.

Posted by: SK on 20 Jun ' 12 at 18:44

Can you add a smoking / non-smoking criteria to the restaurants? It seems a lot of places are open to smokers, so if you are pregnant and do not want to be around it, it is difficult to choose a place to eat.

I am currently looking for a handy man in Dubai to put up some shelves and hang some curtains for me, but I am having no luck in finding one and all of my friends who have previously used one service or another would not recommend then to anyone. I have had a look at back issues and can't see that time out Dubai has ever done a review on Dubois reliable handymen ( if I am wrong please advie which issue this article is in!) . Could time out do such a review of the cities handymen to help me and possibly other readers out? Thanks Andrew
