Combining culinary traditions of Levantine and Emirati origins, Siraj offers a blend of regional flavours with a contemporary twist.
Siraj has opened in Dubai, promising authentic Arabian flavours through a fusion of Emirati-Levantine inspired dishes.
All spices and ingredients are organically produced and jams and pickles are made in house.
Chef Ahmad Al Fakir leads the kitchen and recreated signature dishes and recipes passed on by previous generations.
“I was greatly inspired by Emirati culture and the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum which is very evident from the interiors of the restaurant,” said founding partner and spokesperson of Siraj Heba Rumhein.
Describing the interiors of the venue, Heba added: “Embodying the concept of ‘old meets new,’ the seven arches in the restaurant represent the seven emirates, and the golden horses signify the unbreakable elements of Emirati culture.
"Arabic calligraphy and poems by HH Sheikh Mohammed adorn the walls, defining the overall mood and feel of the restaurant.
"The central dome covered with glass signifies a protective shield that preserves Arabic heritage, wherein the yellow stone represents Levantine culture, and the sand stone represents Emirati culture.”
As per Arabic tradition, guests are greeted with a sprinkle of rose water.
