MJ's Steak House - Al Qasr, Jumeriah Dubai


MJ’s steakhouse – ‘fine feasting for meat lovers’. If you are particular about your steak, MJ’s is the place for you with its dedication to meat cooking perfection.
Situated in Al Qasr Hotel (next to the Madinat in Jumeriah), this classy restaurant resembles a mix between sophistication and cool, decked out in red and black, large street shots taking over the wall and polished brown wood floor to boot.


With MJ’s busy open kitchen you’ll see first hand the chef’s finesse and flair with flame and grill – all part of the entertainment with the added benefit of diners getting the chance to pick there meats from the counter if they wish.

Seating is also available outside (which is my particular favourite) where you can look out on to the water ways which make their way up to the Madinat – you can also see the Burj poking through the trees.

Being a steak joint, the menu is centered mainly around meaty dishes (with a few fish options inbetween!). Even though I am sure all the food is divine by particular favourites would be, to start, the dry aged beef tartar. This dish is presented in its separate elements and then mixed together in front of you, allowing the diner to have an opinion on how much of each element they want in the dish. When choosing a main choice, I would highly recommend the tenderloin, the Chateaubriand, or the Australian Wagu – and to accompany this I would always go for the parmesan truffle fries with a portion of the broccilini – perfect combination!
All steaks come with your choice of sauce too ranging from your classic béarnaise to MJ’s signature BBQ.
After selecting your dish of choice, waiters will then appear with large baskets of bread (with gluten free options too!) and a tray of knifes where the diner can selected there preferred slicing device. Palette cleansers are also offered before your meal – the last time I went we had a delightful bowl of mango sorbet.. yum! 
I would give MJ’s 10 out of 10 on all fronts. The service is great and the waiters friendly, the atmosphere is buzzy but the restaurant never feels cramped and finally, so far, it’s my favourite steak joint in Dubai. 
Dress code is smart casual and I’d recommend always booking before you go so you’re not disappointed!
