Malouf is a popular name in the Levantine culinary scene, not to mention well known in Dubai and is head chef at the new location. Fans of Ruya will remember the space fondly, as this was the last restaurant to operate here. The newest venture by the famous Lebanese Australian chef is a modern take on Middle Eastern fare. The celebrity chef has dreamed up creative takes on traditional plates for diners to sample. The inventive takes mean dining here promises to be an exciting experience, with Malouf’s fattouche salad getting its crunch from golden kataifi crumbs and the house bread coming served with saffron labneh.
