Attention all foodies in Dubai! There’s a new restaurant in town that you simply cannot miss! FIYA, located in the stunning Keturah Reserve, has been making waves since its opening, and it’s easy to see why. With over 35,000 diners already seated, this restaurant has become the talk of the town!
FIYA – Dubai’s Newest Restaurant
FIYA is all about live fire cooking, which gives it its powerful name. The open concept grill is the only one of its kind in Dubai, and it’s surrounded by a completely unique olive tree environment that is simply breathtaking. The ambience and landscaping are so vivid that it feels like you’re camping in a historic space, and it’s the perfect place to capture stunning sunset snaps for your Instagram. In fact, there’s a 1000 year old olive tree that sits right in the middle of the space.
The Food At FIYA
The brains behind this innovative restaurant are none other than decorated chef Hattem Mattar, Tamer El Khayat, and Faisal Yabroudi, founders of PINZA! and Matcha Club. Together, they’ve created a menu that reflects their different tastes, with Faisal’s love of burgers and Hattem’s affection for the smoker. The most popular menu item is the Double Smash Picanha Burger, which is two freshly ground picanha patties smashed on the plancha until crisp, smothered in secret FIYA sauce and topped with a mix of vintage cheeses and special pickled cucumber relish, on a toasted brioche bun. Yum!
But that’s not all, premium options include the Wagyu Tomahawk MB4/5 Grain Fed, which is slowly roasted over live embers for hours till tender and juicy, Hattem’s Smoked Pastrami Brisket f’teer with House Mustard Drizzle, freshly clay oven baked, and the Wagyu Ribeye MB8/9 Mayura Chocolate Fed – a five-hour slow-roasted, 285g hand-carved steak that’s a treat for the taste buds.
The Ambience At FIYA
FIYA is not just about the food though. The restaurant’s neighbouring features provide ample scope for different people to fall in love with it, especially those looking for a classy dining ambience with great food options. The restaurant perfectly blends into the curated ambience and emphasises activity and creativity with its picturesque Keturah landscape. Matcha Club themselves added to the design and therefore vibe, look and feel, and the padel courts especially accentuate the overall ambiance.
Dubai’s First Non-Alcoholic Bar
Bar Zero, the first non-alcoholic bar in Dubai, is nestled within FIYA. This bar promotes mindful consumption, with beverages being prepared with a low concentration of sugar. A sustainable approach is being adopted with plans on growing herbs in a garden for customers to hand-pick and add to their drinks. It’s an inclusive place where conscious or tee-totaler customers can enjoy their beverages in a guilt-free environment.
FIYA is the perfect place for anyone looking for a unique and exciting dining experience. With such an innovative concept, great food, and stunning surroundings, it’s no wonder why this restaurant has become the talk of the town. If you’re a foodie in Dubai, don’t miss out on this incredible dining experience. #GulfBuzzRecommends FIYA!
