Dubai Festival City Mall keeps its own separate trading hours, so the restaurant closes before the mall does.

Al Fanar Restaurant & Café menu and prices
Prices below come from Al Fanar's own storefront on Deliveroo for this branch, listed as "Al Fanar Restaurant and Café - DFC" (Dubai Festival City), checked on 3 September 2026. All nine sections are reproduced in full as the storefront listed them that day; the largest, Main Dish, runs to 36 items. Delivery-platform prices are sometimes higher than the same dish costs in the dining room, and the platform's service and delivery fees sit on top, so these are not necessarily what you pay at the table. They stand in until the operator publishes a priced menu of its own, which replaces them. The operator's own branch page lists no prices at all, and states no VAT or service-charge position.
When to go
Al Fanar Restaurant & Café keeps the same hours every day it is open, 09:00 to 21:00. Hours as published by the operator on its own Dubai Festival City branch page, which states 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM every day. Dubai Festival City Mall keeps its own separate trading hours, so the restaurant closes before the mall does. The same page's FAQ says "Open daily from 9 AM to 10 PM" (read 8 October 2026), so the two closing times on the operator's own page differ.
