Popular JLT (and now Downtown) homegrown restaurant Vietnamese Foodies, are launching a new weekend festival, offering all you can eat dishes for just Dhs 99

The festival will take place every Friday and Saturday until Saturday November 23 2019. For just Dhs99 per person, you can expect to tuck into unlimited helpings of favourites such as banh xeo (sizzling pancake), tom rang bo toi (garlic shrimp) and banh bao cua lot (steamed buns) and more.

There are two Vietnamese Foodies branches in Dubai, one in Jumeirah Lake Towers, and their second newly opened branch at Downtown Dubai – with the deal available at both.

The special menu is available at three times during the day, so if you prefer to do lunch, that starts at 1pm. However, if you prefer dinner, there are two options available – 7pm or 9pm. No matter when you choose to dine, best make reservations in advance to avoid being disappointed.
