Cinema Akil

Amazing unique cinema for who wants different experience, especially film gurus Go there if you wanna travel in time. Good service, good food and drinks .. etc No complicated procedures and everything seems like you are visiting a friend’s home The only cons that we faced are : 1- The area is bad specially for parkings the district security didn’t allow us to park inside the district so we had to park too far outside in the main street and walk to it. 2- I don’t recommended to watch black and white or very old movies because the audio system is calibrated for modern movies with clean audio .. our experience with audio was loud , distorted & bass is exaggerated ( 12 angry men ) Definitely will come back.

My fav movie theater for the quality of the movies proposed compared to the commercials one you can find in the city. The deco is also very beautiful. Feels like a jump back in the time (in the past century). It’s a must do if you pass by Alserkal Avenue.

I visited this place forna coffee, I've never heard of this place until a friend of mine informed me that I should give it a try. It is a new idea as a cinema cafe, I didn't try the cinema, but I tried the coffee shop outside. If you decide to visit this place, you will like it for the below reasons: 1- The atmosphere is nice where they have photos of old singers and old photos. 2- The employees are nice and provide good service. 3- They have a small, calm outdoor seating, which you will love when the weather gets better. 4- The area is nice where it's full of restaurant and coffee shops. 5- The Karak and the coffee are good, but not the best. I can give it a 6/10. I will visit the place again to try the cinema experience.

I’ve been charged for a ticket that I’ve never get. Of course, I didn’t get any refund or at least explanation. 3 times I contacted the cinema and each time I got “we sent your request. U have to wait”. Still don’t understand which request they tried to get, even though I shared screenshots of a payment, but it was very rude and unacceptable. Last my attempt to figure out should I go to the movie or no was literally 1 hour before the start and even that time I’ve been told they were waiting for something. So in the end of that (20 min before the movie) I’ve been told to visit office for further assistance ( like it was not enough). Guys, hope those 50 dirham made you happier! Good luck

wonderful film selection & so so needed in Dubai, only wish that the rafters of the theatre were fully blacked out. love this place & wishing a million more independent film theatres for the region.
