“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?”

“I pick up salads and sandwiches here most weeks. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. I often find an interesting treat for myself too. Last week it was Lapo's brand fake negronis - sooo delicious.

It's purely take-out but there is a pretty outddors area with benches next to it”

“Perfect food gift for sourdough lovers - local, lightweight, and long lasting! So excited to discover these semifreddi crostini in bags.

For lunch had a tasty grab and go chicken muffaletta sandwich and I love knowing it's on Semifreddi bread made in Alameda.”

“Yummy, friendly service. The corn pancakes were crisp and the salsa was just amazing. The biscuits were good but enormous. Might try another starch next time.

Note: There are older reviews of this place stating that they do not take credit cards, but they have changed their policy since then and definitely accepted our credit card today.”

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.”

“The owner is a lovely woman who tastes everything in her store to recommend the best Dubai chocolates and teas and cheeses for your tastes, which I found touching. We loved finding Dutch honey drops here and porcini mushrooms, and HIGHLY recommend getting a cortado at the coffee bar.”

“Great event! Will try the Bangers and Mash next time!”

“Liholiho is a fantastic restaurant! The space is modern and beautifully designed, with an open kitchen where you can watch everything being prepared, which adds a lot of energy and transparency to the dining experience.

The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. The cocktails were excellent, and even the non-alcoholic one I ordered was made with care and tasted great.

The food was outstanding. The bun with beef tongue was extraordinary, the tuna tartare and ceviche were perfectly balanced and fresh, and the shrimps with crispy rice were especially memorable. All dishes showed creativity, originality, and were prepared with high quality ingredients.

For three people, including first and main courses, drinks, and one dessert, the bill came to $260, which I found fair for this level of quality. The only minus point is that the restaurant does not offer coffee, which would have been a nice way to finish the meal.

Overall, I really enjoyed everything at Liholiho. Highly recommended, and I hope I will get to return again!”

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.”
