There are countless healthy and clean eating options in Dubai and we are always on the lookout for new concepts – This week, we try out Feels Juice Bar & Kitchen at the Kite Beach. Did they manage to combine flavours, products and their expertise to create feel-good food? It’s time to find out.
Born out of a passion for clean eating and creativity, Feels Juice Bar & Kitchen offers high-quality food served with good vibes. Feels creates a laid-back ambience to give customers an unforgettable experience of good food, unmatchable service and most importantly the opportunity to catch some real good vibes any time of day. Located on Dubai’s popular Sunset Beach, the brand has plans to expand and open new outlets later this year. “Meals are prepared by highly skilled staff who are trained in the art of nutrition allowing them to give advice and suggest suitable dishes for customers. Our clean eating head chef and in-house nutritionist work closely to provide only the best to our customers, always providing taste, convenience, innovation and health,” says Mohamed M. Al Falasi, founder of Feels.
Feels is a food concept that speaks to the core of why we should eat clean. The menu, at Feels, is curated with recipes that rebalance and nourish the body while all clean dishes are prepared fresh daily with premium ingredients. Feels combines clean food with flavour to create outstanding dishes, juices and smoothies that cater to various tastes and dietary requirements of their customers. Menu offerings span across breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, freshly pressed juices, smoothies and a wide variety of coffee options.
Feels aims to combine sustainability with taste, nutrition, convenience and an ever-growing appetite for clean food. And based on our experience, they have done pretty well:
Taste – The team has experience with food, and it is clearly seen – the recipes are well made and closer to comfort food than diet meals. Hearty; Filling; Flavourful. They create food you feel good about eating.
Nutrition – Whilst most brands on the market focus on a specific diet or trend (keto, low calorie, low GI.. ), Feels is all about balanced meals. The recipes are balanced enough to fit a healthy and active lifestyle.
From colourful salads that are made from 100% natural and fresh ingredients to wellness shots that are designed to provide a burst of vitamins, Feels pushes to restore vitality. Their products are chemical-free, preservative-free and freshly made on the spot in their on-site kitchen.
Feels Juice Bar & Kitchen not only has its customer’s health in mind but the health of the planet. As part of its internal green operations, the venue has an internal waste tracking system, where waste is segregated for efficient recycling. All straws, cutlery, cups and packaging materials are made of 100% degradable components. Food wastage is as low as 2% due to their fresh and locally sourced ingredients.
They have an extensive menu that offers breakfast, salad bowls, power bowls, sandwiches and snacks. Smoothies, protein shakes, pressed juices and shots are available for the discerning clients. Made using all natural ingredients such as whole grain, fruits and vegetables, the breakfast menu is divided into two – meals for the early birds and the all-day breakfast. The All Day Breakfast menu includes a variety of toast options such as the almond butter strawberry toast, the sweet potato toast, the avo-tofu toast and much more.
Salad options are a plenty like the nourishing bowl, the lentil salad taco and the superfood crunch salad, and allow customers to customize their salad to suit their tastes. A variety of dressings, sides and addons are make sure the bowl is exactly to your specifications.
Their power bowls are filled with delicious, healthy ingredients like grains, veggies, and lean protein to provide long-lasting energy throughout the day. Each one takes the customer on a short but creative journey to build their own meal. It really pays off here, as it keeps the whole meal interesting from top to bottom. There’s a wide assortment of flavors here that it will keep your taste buds entertained until the very last bite.
With two sourdough options white bread or multigrain bread as a base to build their sandwich, customers can opt for meaty options such as the steak and cheese, the grilled chicken and cheese and the grilled chicken and pesto to the veggie options such as the tuna avocado sandwich, the tuna spicy sandwich and the mushroom and cheese. These healthy sandwich recipes are proof that you can eat better without saying goodbye to carbs.

Our pick was the Tuna Spicy sandwich that came with tuna, vegan mayo, kale pesto, organic cheese and siracha!
