From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

There is something innately comical about a German beer house in Dubai. With the oom-pah music, rotund German clientele and large, steaming plates of bratwurst, it’s difficult to imagine a more out-of-place restaurant in Dubai than Hofbrauhaus.

Be warned, portions are enormous here, and the hearty, meaty fare is a bit heavy for the summer months, though thoroughly comforting in winter.

We recommend the rindergulasch, an achingly tender beef stew. Also lovely is the leberkase, a dense meatloaf topped with a fried egg, and resting on a bed of buttery, expertly salted spinach.

Desserts are decent, though given the sheer mass of food offered up in the mains, it might be best to give the confections a skip.

Me and my buddy are beer conneseurs, and sought out this place. Upon arriving, we took a picture of the restraunt, which looks like a real German beer pub. The manager greeted us outside and said we should have beers for the photos so he ran inside and grabbed us two HUGE beer mugs full of German beer. Nice! This place, with the Belgian Cafe, have the best beer in Dubai. I recommend the hefelweisen. I ordered the meatloaf, and after the 1st gianormous beer and the bread appetiser, I could only eat a tiny bit of the large portion. It was fantastic tho. I did find a broken toothpick in one of my beers. When I told our very happy and helpful REAL German waiter, he was very appologetic and didn't charge us for ANY of the beer! Sweet! They play real folk German music, half the people there appeared to be authentic German, they had German TV on, it was cool.
