Four new restaurants from the Arab world to visit in Dubai – The National

From a fusion of Arab-Armenian fare to a gourmet burger joint launched by up-and-coming Emirati chef Faisal Naser, here are four restaurants rooted in the Arab world that opened this year.

A popular lounge-restaurant from Beirut’s Mar Mikhael neighbourhood, Amelia opened its UAE outpost at the Address Sky View in Downtown Dubai on July 13. The intimate venue calls to mind the Art Deco era of the 1930s, with illuminated decorative panels, plush seating and geometric ornamentation.

The restaurant serves a fusion of Nikkei, or Peruvian-Japanese cuisine, using fresh Mediterranean ingredients. Diners can sample all manner of ceviche, tiradito and sushi, plus meat and vegetables cooked in iron pots, Josper ovens and on Robata grills.
