Harvesters

Long-serving pub on Sheikh Zayed Road Reviews

There really is no excuse for the kind of kitchen complacency served up at this utterly mediocre sports bar. Between elegant English oak panels, it is possible to keep an eye on six different sports games at any one time, thanks to a multitude of screens. Although you won’t be able to listen to any of them, as the airwaves are reserved for what sounds like an iPod belonging to the most bereft of taste barman on the planet, left on shuffle. Meanwhile the staff are friendly and fast, but it’s the food that let’s this place down. Dishes from the Harvester’s frightfully safe menu (salads, sandwiches, pies, grills and curries) are distinctly underwhelming, and can appear cold and undercooked. If you must dine here, order a curry – it’s the hardest thing for them to mess up.

Went there hoping for some solid Brit grub, we weren't disappointed as the bangers n mash and pie were fine. Unfortunately- when it came to pay, we got the bill and saw that an orange juice was ....wait for it.....28dhs! Ha haaaa! Didn't see any fresh juice squeezed behind the bar so I got well n truly shafted! Ohhhh.....there's more....the bill also had an extra charge of 3dhs added for charity!!!! WHAT???!!! Of course I paid the poor waitress but come on Harvester, ur decor suggests it's Xmas so.......

The ambiance is cool with sports channels playing on all TVs. Their steaks are quite good. Good choice of drinks. Courteous staff. I can keep going back to the place. The only hitch is the limited range in the menu. But if you have gone there enough, you have your favorite dish already.
