The Dubai summer specials: 8 new summer menus to try this season

New season, new menus, such is the cycle of life in Dubai's dining world. Summer is upon us, in all its sweltering, soaring glory, and if you're looking for something to do with your down time, these menus across some of the city's finest are worth a taste. Fresh, fiery and already getting a tan, these are the Dubai summer specials. Third culture-cuisine-connoisseur Chef Kelvin Cheung is adding new dishes to the tune of tteokbokki bolognese and chicken karaage 2.0 served with cornbread waffles. And if that doesn't make your mouth water, we don't know what does. We all know and love Jun's – a regular on the Michelin Guide and 50 Best lists – where innovation is central to every dish, each one crafted with heart and a deeply personal honesty. The new menu pays homage to both regional and international influences, while staying approachable and welcoming to all diners. Highlights include the street-style shu mai, sansho pepper edamame, and a rich, slow-cooked lamb curry. @junsdubai Ossiano Michelin-starred Ossiano is as legendary as it gets, and this summer they are launching a Summer of Discovery tasting menu priced at Dhs750 per person. Guests are invited to try dishes like their illusion of oyster, otoro tuna tartlet, primavera a pea panna cotta with roasted nuts and greens, Moroccan-spiced wagyu beef grilled over binchotan charcoal, and chocolate and almond sponge cake served with ganache and milk chocolate mousse. If you're looking for progressive fine dining, this is where you need to go. Served from 6pm to 9.30pm until August 31. Wine pairing starting from Dhs600. @ossianodubai Some Italian flavours for you, the Menu di Stagione features a selection of dishes that embodies the lightness and vibrancy of the season, available for both lunch and dinner. Highlights include zucchini flowers filled with ricotta and taggiasca olives; Insalata di granchio, a delicate crab salad served with gazpacho and fresh chilli, pasta offerings and more. @lamobistrodelmare Punjab Grill If a bit of indulgent Indian cuisine is what you like, then head over to Punjab Grill to try their seasonal summer dinner menu for four courses of the best of India's summer flavours. Think palak patta chaat, chilled dahi bhalla, dill salmon tikka, Kashmiri lamb chops, tandoori zaffrani prawns and mango srikhand tart. Priced at Dhs350, served from 6pm to 9pm on weekdays, and there's even a buy one get one free deal if you book ahead of time. If you've got a special occasion coming up, this is a great fit. @punjabgrilldubai Ninive is an upscale Middle Eastern favourite among Dubai residents, and for good reason. With a stunning green setting and incredible views of the Dubai skyline, who wouldn't enjoy this spot? This season they're offering a summer garden menu, allowing you to enjoy the best of Middle Eastern and North African dishes like zaatar chickpea dip and chicken pastilla, hearty mains including chicken tagine and manti, and indulgent desserts like umm ali with vanilla ice cream and mini baklava, all for just Dhs290 per person. Served for 6pm to 10pm on weekdays only. It's perfect for those weekday dinner dates. @ninivedubai If you're a health wellness babe or brother, then Bellini Café has a new salad bowl collection – Le Insalate d'Estate – featuring four fresh, health-forward spotlighting premium grains, seasonal vegetables, and fresh proteins. Get the tuna bowl, paired with farro, shaved fennel, Boston lettuce, avocado, and delicate slices of tuna finished with a bright lemon dressing for a salad that screams summer. Or the curry shrimp bowl, combining Riso Venere with toasted almonds, green onions, and a fragrant curry sauce. For meat lovers, the chicken bowl is a perfect choice, with quinoa, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke, croutons, avocado and arugula. @bellinicafedubai Italian favourite TOTÓ is bringing a brand new, bright take on coastal Italy with their newly launched menu. A heartfelt tribute to a region that says summer like nothing else. Think Amalfi lemon risotto with Carabineros shrimps, Tuscan bruschettone, and Neapolitan sauté di cozze – each dish crafted with seasonal finesse, soul, and elegance to bring the very best of Italian flavours. Other dishes to try include the ravioli di brasato, gnocchi alla sorrentina and guancia di vitello brasata. This is your summer escape to the Italian coast, without ever leaving Dubai. @totorestaurantdubai This summer, fine dine at Nobu, where you can enjoy a Japanese Peruvian-inspired feast in the form of a set summer menu for Dhs395. The renowned restaurant will be serving a five-course omakase menu featuring salmon karashi su miso, a selection of sushi and rolls, canary seabass with spinach and jalapeño, and grilled wagyu ribeye, followed by Nobu's famous cheesecake. Diners can sit in one of five dining areas, including the main dining room, an exclusive 13-seat sushi bar or a VIP booth with front-row seats to the bustling kitchen. The menu will be available until September 18, so make sure you make your reservations before that. @nobudubai Images: Socials/Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

New Japanese restaurant, KIGO, to open in DIFC, Dubai next month

There's a gorgeous new restaurant coming to the fancy-restaurant-capital of Dubai, DIFC and it's by the group behind GAIA, Shanghai ME, Maison de la Plage and more huge success stories in Dubai. Fundamental Hospitality is bringing KIGO to the Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre and the restaurant offers counter style dining built around omakase, a Japanese phrase meaning 'I'll leave it up to you', where guests entrust the chef to craft a bespoke, multi-course journey that evolves with the seasons. The new restaurant is set to open in Dubai in September. The experience begins before you step into the restaurant, on the terrace, where guests cross a stone path and a minimalist dry garden as they make their way into the 44-seat dining room. In the centre, you'll find a striking sushi counter crafted from rare Aji stone sourced from a single mountain in Japan's Kagawa area, known for its 40,000-year history and enduring strength. Find artwork by Eiki Kimura, drawing on the Rimpa-style. The whole restaurant oozes creativity and authenticity to the Japanese culture. The name KIGO originates from Japanese haiku poetry, encompassing words or phrases that capture the essence of each season, and the restaurant is also doing just that with its concept. KIGO's menu is as carefully created as the decor, ingredients are selected for their cultural resonance and only when they reach their fullest flavour. When you visit KIGO, as you sit at the stone counter, you can witness each dish come to life before your eyes as the chef crafts a personalised omakase in real time or if you prefer, opt for the set kaiseki menu that represents the luxury culture of Japan. For drinks, you'll find rare sakes exclusive to the region, including one produced by a brewery from the birthplace of Head Chef Akinori Tanigawa. You can expect premium cocktails too, each served with a poetic micro story. Chef Izu is loved by the Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and he regularly visits his restaurants. If it's good enough for Sheikh Hamdan, it's good enough for us.

Weekly UAE museum & gallery guide: Last chance to see Malaysia's artistic transformation

This week's exhibitions are rooted in specific cultural geographies. From the Persian traditions in Reza Derakshani 's paintings to a group exhibition that offers a cross-section of Middle Eastern contemporary art and Malaysia's journey to modern nationhood, each show is informed by the visual language of its place of origin. Here are three exhibitions to look out for. I Paint Your Grace, I Paint Your Pain, I Paint Love at Leila Heller Gallery Reza Derakshani 's first solo exhibition in five years brings together pieces from three bodies of work by the Iranian-American artist. In The Hunt / Rider series, he draws from Persian miniatures and poetry and the artist's experiences growing up in north-eastern Iran. The series features horses as a metaphor for the pursuit of meaning and freedom. The Day and Night / Fig Leaf series embeds imagery from Persian conceptions of paradise. In the Migration / Grey Zone series, meanwhile, Derakshani blends abstraction and figuration to trace his movement across various geographic and artistic landscapes, including symbols such as turtles and fragmented maps of Iran. I Paint Your Grace, I Paint Your Pain, I Paint Love is a sharp entry point into Derakshani's practice, showcasing his deft exploration of personal and socio-political topics through Persian artistic traditions. Monday to Friday, 10am-7pm; Saturday, 11am-7pm; until September 15, Leila Heller Gallery, Dubai Tajammul at XVA Gallery Tajammul is a group show that spans painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media. It brings together works by 16 artists including Basil Alkazzi, Hussein Almohasen, Imran Channa, Behdad Lahooti, Colleen Quigley, David Howarth, Debjani Bhardwaj, Elizabeth Dorazio, Moussa Tiba, Richard Ketley, Morteza Zahedi, Charlotte de Bekker, CC (Alireza Asbahi), Mahmoud Hamadani and Oussama Garti. The show's title is drawn from the Arabic word for beauty and, according to the exhibition literature, offers a snapshot of the contemporary artistic landscape of the Middle East, celebrating aesthetic diversity and layered cultural narratives. Tajammul is curated by Carina Vicente. Monday to Sunday, 10am-6pm, until September 11, XVA Gallery, Dubai To Know Malaysia is to Love Malaysia at the Cultural Foundation To Know Malaysia is to Love Malaysia: Highlights from the AFK Collection is now in its last month. The group exhibition at the Cultural Foundation features works by influential first-generation Malaysian contemporary artists, selected from the AFK Collection, one of the most extensive archives of Malaysian art from the 1980s to the present. Artists represented include Ahmad Shukri Mohamed, Ahmad Fuad Osman, Ali Nurazmal, Anniketyni Madian, Yusof Ghani, Zulkifli Yusoff and others. The exhibition traces Malaysia's transformation from a newly independent, rural society to a modern nation. While spotlighting individual artistic practices, it also explores how these works engage with the country's evolving social, cultural and political narratives. Blending diverse styles and perspectives, the show offers visitors a rich journey through Malaysia's contemporary art landscape and its deeper reflections on identity, progress and national heritage.
