Excellent place in Podgorica. I love it and have been here a dozen of times alone and with the family. Great atmosphere, polite waiters, open-hearted and careful owners, and if course perfect food. My favorites: karak tea, falafel, Murakami mutabai, shrimps with rice, aliev breakfast laquimat . Great place for kids. My daughter when asked what is favorite for her in Montenegro rated Dubai House (aka Arabian Tea House) as first, and sea – only second 🙂 Lovely place, and a pleasure to be here. Thanks a lot to owners and staff!
