Fi’lia is the first fully female-led Italian Mediterranean restaurant in Dubai that has just opened its doors at the SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences. 25-year old Chef de Cuisine Sara Aqel, who is of Palestinian Jordanian decent is at the helm of the restaurant and making her mark on the Dubai restaurant scene. Sara was trained under Massimo Bottura (acclaimed Italian Chef, crowned with three Michelin stars) and is heading the kitchen supported by a team of women, whether it’s in the kitchen or on the restaurant floor. Think 18-hour veal ragu, pizzas, baked sea bass and so much more. The location is stunning on the 70th floor, with 360-degree views over Dubai and an impressive terrace.
