Two Dubai Restaurants Make the World's 50 Best List for 2025
Jun 20, 2025
Dubai's culinary clout just climbed a little higher. The World's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2025 has landed, and two of the city's most talked-about dining spots have made the cut — cementing the Emirate's status as a serious gastronomic player.
At No.27, Trèsind Studio takes home the title of Best Restaurant in the Middle East, a well-earned accolade for chef Himanshu Saini and his immersive, boundary-pushing tasting menu. Now located on Palm Jumeirah, the 20-seat restaurant offers an intimate experience where diners move between curated spaces designed to mirror the narrative of the meal.
Meanwhile, Orfali Bros Bistro re-enters the list at No.37, bringing its playful, genre-bending menu back into the global spotlight. Helmed by the Orfali brothers from Aleppo — Mohamad, Wassim, and Omar — the family-run bistro blends traditional Syrian influences with Asian techniques and European flair, all served up in the heart of Dubai.
From theatrical fine dining to wildly creative comfort food, this year's rankings show that Dubai isn't just keeping pace with the world's best — it's helping define what comes next.

Egyptian director Amir Ramses questions local industry amid Saudi ‘Riyadh Season' shift
Egyptian director Amir Ramses has commented on the decision by the head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh, to rely on Saudi and Gulf artists for the upcoming Riyadh Season. In a statement on his official Facebook account, Ramses wrote: 'I woke up to a wave of anger over Turki Al-Sheikh's statement about relying on Saudi and Gulf artists in the Riyadh Season… but to be honest, I'm surprised. In the end, it's a natural right for any country to develop its artists and depend on them. 'The real question is: we have the creators, the theaters, the infrastructure, the knowledge, the experience, and the audience… so what's stopping us from doing the same? Why do we depend on others to present what we have? I think we should be angry when we look in the mirror, not when we look at others.' Al-Sheikh had announced that Saudi Arabia would primarily rely on Saudi and Gulf artists for the Riyadh Season, with a few additions of Syrian and international plays. In a post on his Facebook page, he said: 'God willing, in the next Riyadh Season, there will be an almost complete reliance on Saudi and Gulf instrumentalists and musicians for concerts.' He added: 'We will also rely almost completely on Saudi and Gulf plays, with some additions of Syrian and international plays.' Edited translation from Al-Masry Al-Youm

Rana Atef Syrian actress Diala Al-Wadi was killed in her home in Al-Malki, Damascus, Syria. The murder was described as a case of robbery. According to Syrian authorities and local activists, the crime occurred inside the actress's residence in one of the most heavily guarded areas of the capital.

Al-Wadi held British citizenship and came from a prominent musical family. Her father, Salhi Al-Wadi, was a pioneering figure in Syria's academic music scene and a founding member of the Higher Institute of Music and the Syrian Symphony Orchestra. Her mother, Cynthia, a British national and violinist, was a classmate of her father at the Royal Academy of Music in London during his studies between 1952 and 1960. Al-Wadi received the Syrian Order of Merit in 1995, the highest honor granted by the state, and is regarded as a foundational figure in the Syrian and Arab music scenes. Al-Wadi studied at the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus, graduating in 1986 alongside some of the most prominent names in Syrian drama, including Hatim Ali, Ghassan Massoud, Aref Al-Tawil, Maher Salibi, Dala Al-Rahbi, Mayada Deeb, Mahmoud Othman, and Fouad Hassan. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
