A new Emirati cuisine restaurant Al Barza opened in Jumeirah, with the opening taking place under the patronage & presence of H.E. Mohammed Ahmed Al Murr, President of the Federal National Council.
The ceremony included traditional Dabke performances, which is an Arab folk dance commonly performed by men at weddings and other occasions, along with the tradition tent cooking setup displaying the Bedouin heritage.
The name 'Al Barza' means 'a gathering place', with the Emirati traditional food presented in a contemporary way.
Al Madani Group of Companies chairman and CEO Mohammed Al Madani said: "It’s a dining experience wherein a guest experiences a unique combination of authentic Emirati cuisine paired with some jaw dropping asesthetics. Here it is not that we are creating a fusion, as most, if not all, the ingredients are very much used in Emirati cuisine, but the idea is to redesign, evolve and enhance the level of authentic Emirati food progressively.
"This is one of the first modern dining concepts derived from our Emirati heritage and traditional kitchen. Since we have long experience in franchising, I am planning in future to franchise this concept.”
