Another month, another restaurant. The dining scene in the UAE, especially in Dubai, is dominated by interesting launches.
Some of these are outposts from award-winning chefs – think David Myers's Adrift Burger Bar – while others are restaurants that specialise in a particular cuisine, such as omakase venues The Robata and Reif Japanese Kushiyaki's Tero.
Here’s a list of the restaurants that are open in the Emirates this month, with a chef’s table still to come.
Kababji Lebanese Grill, Abu Dhabi
Cuisine: Lebanese
The Beirut-headquartered restaurant opened its second outpost in the UAE capital, at The Galleria Al Maryah Island, this month. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is an extension of the brand's original food counter concept.
The expansive menu is divided into salads, sandwiches, grill platters, hot and cold meze and rice dishes, offering classics such as hummus, shish taouk, chicken kabsa, fattoush and tabbouleh, plus mohalabiya and date pudding for dessert.
Daily; 10am-11.45pm; The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi; 600 595951
Adrift Burger Bar, Abu Dhabi
Cuisine: Burgers / American
Chef David Myers, whose Los Angeles restaurant Sona was first awarded a Michelin star in 2007, introduced his Californian burger bar to the UAE via Expo 2020 Dubai. Now, the “Gypsy chef” has launched the country’s first permanent restaurant in Yas Mall, in partnership with Emirati investment group By Me Burger.
On the menu are Myers signatures, including: DM Burger (with Vermont Cheddar cheese on a brioche bun); Adrift Burger (with tomato ajwan jam, herb aioli and arugula); Good Morning Burger (with a fried egg and Gruyere cheese); plus the vegan Impossible Earth Burger.
Innovative sides include truffle grilled cheese, curry leaf fries and fried mushrooms with Japanese barbecue sauce.
Sunday-Wednesday, 10am-10pm; Thursday-Saturday, 10am-midnight; Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi; www.adriftburgerbar.com/abu-dhabi
Terra, Abu Dhabi
Cuisine: Mediterranean-Arabic
Adding to Al Qana’s eclectic dining scene, Terra will combine two beloved regional cuisines in its greenery-dotted, industrial-chic venue.
On the menu are dishes such as watermelon feta salad, crab and lobster salad with seaweed caviar, sea bass ceviche and spicy prawns; plus sticky date pudding and caramel spice cake for dessert.
Opens May end; noon-midnight; Al Qana South, Abu Dhabi; 02 562 0233
Slaw, Abu Dhabi
Cuisine: Burgers
Another Al Qana entrant, Slaw by Emirati chef-patron Ali Yazdi makes its foray into the capital this month following its successful Dubai set-up.
Slaw has made a name for itself among burger lovers thanks to its chicken sandos (the Nashville is the founder’s favourite), classic burgers and inventive specials.
Opens May end; Al Qana, Abu Dhabi
Obeli, Dubai
Cuisine: New world
Emirati businesswoman Aisha Al Tamimi and Lebanese-Mexican chef Niazi Al Badri want to take diners on a culinary trip around the world with this City Walk restaurant that serves a concise but curated breakfast, lunch and dinner menu.
Dishes and desserts to look out for include signature shroom (fried portobello mushroom, salsa verde, pulled beef, sauteed peas, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and chives oil); potato pave caviar; white mermaid (sea bass, white chocolate sauce, green apple salad); and date night (caramelised brioche, date filling, vanilla ice cream).
The chef pays homage to his Mexican and Lebanese origins with garibas, a burger with three cuts of beef, two types of cheese, herb-chipotle mayonnaise, caramelised onions and avocado spread.
Daily; 8am-11.30pm; CityWalk, Dubai; 04 887 5561
Meghana Foods, Dubai
“Biryani is an emotion”, that is the motto of Meghana, a popular Hyderabadi restaurant from Bangalore that opened its first UAE outpost in Karama this month.
The menu encompasses Andhra-style food, so expect dishes such as chicken 65, curd rice and egg curry, plus all manner of biryani pots, from mutton fry and prawn to opulent Hyderabadi biryani. Indian sweetmeats including gulab jamun, carrot halwa and shahi tukda feature on the list of desserts.
Daily, noon-midnight; Karama, Dubai; 04 368 7771
Enas, Dubai
Cuisine: Greek
The latest entrant on the emirate's list of Mediterranean venues, Enas is located in Balqis Residence on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. In keeping with its Grecian vibe, the space is dominated by olive tree centrepieces and large rattan lampshades.
On the menu are a meze platter of Kalamata olives, marinated feta and Koulouri bread; Gulf prawn saganaki with Greek oregano and tomato ragu; a meat platter with chicken souvlaki, pressed lamb shoulder, beef rib-eye and charcoal lamb cutlets; and a charcoal seafood platter with chargrilled octopus, steamed clams, seared sea bass and grilled tiger prawns.
Daily; noon-11pm; Palm Jumeirah, Dubai; 04 540 3600
Reif Japanese Kushiyaki and Tero Chef's Table, Dubai
Cuisine: Japanese
Michelin-lauded chef Reif Othman has opened his first licensed venue at Dubai Hills Business Park this month. Both the venue and the menu are more expansive than the original Dar Wasl restaurant, with this outpost seating 118 guests and serving a wider selection of dishes.
The signature dishes remain the same, including escargot takoyaki, otoro with Satsuma Wagyu steamed bun and black cod ramen, as does the Dh80 to Dh220 price point.
On Friday, Othman will launch Tero, a 12-seat dining lounge within the restaurant, with eclectic decor elements such as trainers, skateboards, a Pac-Man machine and a Bearbrick art piece. The space affords a front-row seat to the chef’s cooking station and guests can enjoy an ever-changing tasting menu, priced at Dh888 for eight dishes and Dh1,212 for 12 dishes.
Daily, noon-3pm, 6pm-midnight (Reif Japanese Kushiyaki); Wednesday-Saturday, two seatings at 6pm and 9.30pm (Tero); Dubai Hills Business Park; 04 255 5142; reservations@terodubai.com
Saya Brasserie Cafe, Dubai
Another branch of an existing restaurant that has opened in Dubai Hills Mall, Saya Brasserie bills itself as “one of the most Instagrammable restaurants in the city”. At this rosy-hued outpost, diners can get shots against rows of faux flowers lining the walls, potted plants in all shades of the rainbow, statement chandeliers and chairs upholstered in pink velvet.
On the menu are eggs Benedict and shakshuka for breakfast; and beef tenderloin, Norwegian grilled salmon, and lamb shank for lunch and dinner; plus sweet options such as berries and quinoa parfait and triple chocolate pancake.
Sunday-Thursday, 8am-midnight; Friday and Saturday, 8am-1am; Dubai Hills Mall; 056 416 2002
The Robata, Dubai
Cuisine: Japanese / omakase
Omakase, the Japanese philosophy of leaving your culinary fate in the chef’s hands, has taken off in a big way in the UAE with venues such as Moonrise, Mitsu-ya and Hoseki leading the charge. A recent addition to the surprise menu concept, The Robata is located at Caesars Palace on Bluewaters Dubai and is helmed by yakiniku masterchef Kenichi Osato and sushi masterchef Tatsuro Mitsuyasu.
The duo will serve shabu-shabu hotpot, charcoal-seared sushi, Nodoguro rice made with Benihitomi fish and the world’s highest-ranking A5 Kobe Beef with a crisp and smoky crust.
Similar to the hotel’s TakaHisa restaurant, The Robata serves select ingredients presented inside designer trunks, for that flamboyant Dubai touch.
Daily, 10am-2am; Bluewaters Island, Dubai; 04 556 6689
Meda, Dubai
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Meda at the Taj Dubai, helmed by former Zuma chef Mario Fico and speciality Italian chef Vincenzo Nigro, offers dishes inspired by Spain, Italy and Greece.
On the menu this translates as sea bream ceviche; Tuna Tartare wrapped in filo pastry cones with avocado cream; huevos rotos with black truffle and veal jus; Neapolitan Calamarata lobster pasta; and vegetarian paella with saffron, porcini mushrooms, artichokes and green peas. Desserts include Greek loukoumades and a tiramisu-inspired Gianduja chocolate dip.
Daily, noon-midnight; Downtown Dubai; 04 438 3100
Smokd Eatery, Dubai
Cuisine: International
Chef Reif Othman, who also opened a second branch of Reif Japanese Kushaiyaki this month, is working on this venue that will serve dishes with distinct smoked flavours.
The new restaurant, in Boxpark, says it offers a “sensory experience”, with its interiors designed with feng shui principles in mind.
On the menu are cauliflower popcorn with yoghurt ranch; pastrami carpaccio with tuna sauce and crispy capers; baked bone marrow; pan-seared salmon with jalapeno cream and raisin chimichurri; spaghetti with crabmeat and kombu; and grilled Wagyu tenderloin with three pepper sauce.

What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.
The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.
Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.
However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.
Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.
Electric scooters: some rules to remember
- Riders must be 14-years-old or over
- Wear a protective helmet
- Park the electric scooter in designated parking lots (if any)
- Do not leave electric scooter in locations that obstruct traffic or pedestrians
- Solo riders only, no passengers allowed
- Do not drive outside designated lanes

Keane on …
Liverpool’s Uefa Champions League bid: “They’re great. With the attacking force they have, for me, they’re certainly one of the favourites. You look at the teams left in it - they’re capable of scoring against anybody at any given time. Defensively they’ve been good, so I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t go on and win it.”
Mohamed Salah’s debut campaign at Anfield: “Unbelievable. He’s been phenomenal. You can name the front three, but for him on a personal level, he’s been unreal. He’s been great to watch and hopefully he can continue now until the end of the season - which I’m sure he will, because he’s been in fine form. He’s been incredible this season.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s instant impact at former club LA Galaxy: “Brilliant. It’s been a great start for him and for the club. They were crying out for another big name there. They were lacking that, for the prestige of LA Galaxy. And now they have one of the finest stars. I hope they can go win something this year.”
Have you been targeted?
Tuan Phan of SimplyFI.org lists five signs you have been mis-sold to:
1. Your pension fund has been placed inside an offshore insurance wrapper with a hefty upfront commission.
2. The money has been transferred into a structured note. These products have high upfront, recurring commission and should never be in a pension account.
3. You have also been sold investment funds with an upfront initial charge of around 5 per cent. ETFs, for example, have no upfront charges.
4. The adviser charges a 1 per cent charge for managing your assets. They are being paid for doing nothing. They have already claimed massive amounts in hidden upfront commission.
5. Total annual management cost for your pension account is 2 per cent or more, including platform, underlying fund and advice charges.
