A complete homegrown heroes dining guide to The Square at Nad Al Sheba Gardens

What's On07-03-2025

The Square could be your new go-to dining destination…
We stumbled upon The Square in Nad Al Sheba Gardens by chance, and we were pleasantly surprised. Now this is a dining destination worth visiting, championing homegrown heroes and local concepts in a beautiful setting. It's the perfect day-to-night location, and if you're looking to try some great food, they've got the spots for that. This could be your new go-to dining destination. Entourage Three
Entourage Three serves up some juicy good burgers, and this new location in The Square has all the aesthetics as well. They have the kind of handhelds and fries combinations that are wildly popular right now, and they've even got a breakfast menu with breakfast sandwiches.
@entourage.3 Home Bakery
Home Bakery, started by Emirati entrepreneur Hind Al Mulla was a childhood hobby that turned into a full-fledged career. It's soon expanded and has since built up a reputation for its collection of desserts and seasonal savoury dishes, through both Home Bakery and more recently, the introduction of Home Bakery Kitchen. The recipes are inspired by both authentic local ingredients, as well as international favourites.
@home_bakery Kokoro Handroll Bar
The handroll bar's second location after Alserkal Avenue – different spot, same great rolls and all the rubber ducks. Kokoro in Nad Al Sheba is a somewhat smaller, more intimate version of the first one, but the taste of the incredible sushi, rolls and sides remains the same. This is date night central.
@kokoro.dxb Public
Public is that sort of all-day, everything-served Italian diner that has a bit of it all. The menu is vast, with options for everyone, and their desserts are uber popular, especially that communal dish of tiramisu they plate heaping spoonfuls from for everyone. They've got pasta, seafood, pizza, salads, starters, sides and more, and at Nad Al Sheba, the vibes are impeccable.
@public Asma
Asma is another local favourite, a traditional Arabic spot serving authentic dishes. It's owned by three Emirati sisters whose passion and love for food was passed on from their mother, named Asma. Asma is all about Middle Eastern flavours from Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt and Syria, with a contemporary approach. They've got all the fine ingredients and traditional techniques down.
@asmarestaurant Omar Odali
Omar Odali and his celebrated Palestinian knafeh are in The Square and guests can indulge in the treat at this new dining destination. Known for its rich culinary heritage, the dessert offers an authentic and interactive experience, prepared live over charcoal – it's the perfect balance of crust, cheese and syrup.
@omar.odali Feels
There's nothing like a great green juice for when you need a hit of vitamins on the go, or when you're feeling under the weather and need an instant health boost. Here's introducing Feels Juice Bar and Kitchen. Hailing from the UAE, Dubai's first specialised juice bar. Founded in 2020, Feels was born out of a passion for clean eating, creativity, and an active lifestyle.
@wearefeels House of Pops
This is a great alternative to the refined sugar-packed, preservative-heavy ice creams flooding the supermarkets. House of Pops' hand-crafted, vegan pops featuring only five ingredients with fruit outranking all, makes these little chilly wonders essentially just 'fruit-on-a-stick'. The flavours at House of Pops are vast, ranging from mango and raspberry to coconut, lime mint and strawberry.

Here are Campaign Middle East's Work picks from May

Every month, Campaign Middle East selects a collection of 'Work' to display in its monthly issue. The same selection then gets offered to industry professionals for their review in Campaign's Private View section the following month. These are the picks from May – featuring work from Talabat and Kitopi, MG Egypt, Boutiqaat, RAM and McDonald's Saudi. Talabat x Kitopi: See, Eat, Repeat In partnership with Talabat, Kitopi highlighted its top 10 restaurant brands, offering best-selling items for AED 10, for 10 days. The goal? To bring Kitopi's food experiences to the masses. With Hypermedia as the campaign's media partner, Kitopi executed a full-blown out-of-home (OOH) takeover in the UAE. Kitopi also tapped into influencer marketing to amplify messaging across different demographics. The campaign helped Kitopi acquire more than 100,000 new customers. MG Egypt: Well Known, Even If Not Owned To launch the automotive brand's new range, this campaign takes a humorous approach for the Egypt market, highlighting how people who don't even own MG cars, know so much about each of the cars and love them. Given that car prices in Egypt are hitting new highs, and for many people in the nation, owning a car feels out of reach, this campaign aims to make the dream of car ownership possible again. This resonates with Egyptians, showcasing how they talk about cars – like true salespeople – as if they all know the specs, features, and prices, as if they're ready to sell the cars themselves. The campaign was carried across billboards, social media channels, digital channels and TVCs in Egypt. The campaign was brought to life by DDB Egypt, Kino Films, The Barber Shop and Keeva Casting Agency, under the direction of Amr Haddad. Boutiqaat: Ya Hala Campaign This campaign used unconventional Arabic humour to drive app purchases and achieved more than 1 million organic views, making it Boutiqaat's first commercial blockbuster without paid promotion. The campaign aimed to engage audiences through a humorous and engaging narrative, emphasising the festival's excitement and the opportunities available for shoppers. With exaggerated slapstick that includes repeated visual gags, such as characters being thrown through a window, this commercial took the comedic route – a detour from the region's dependance on cultural references. The campaign, brought to life by Shareet Studios, was primarily distributed on social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. RAM: RHO Airlines – The Shortest Flight RAM Trucks took to the skies – briefly – to launch its latest performance vehicle with this bold campaign. The creative stunt turned the desert into a runway for what is being described as the world's shortest flight, lasting just 1.2 seconds. The hero film depicted an immersive airport experience in the middle of the desert, complete with check-in counters, security, ground staff, air traffic control and cabin crew. The only thing missing was a plane. Instead, at the centre of the experience was the new RAM RHO 1500. The stunt featured Saudi Arabia's popular influencer duo, The Saudi Reporters: Abdullah and Abdulaziz. In partnership with Publicis Middle East, the spot marks the first phase of a wider brand campaign from Stellantis' RAM in the region. McDonald's Saudi: Menuless The objective of this campaign was to demonstrate how consumers in Saudi Arabia know what their favourite McDonald's products are without having to look at the menu. Therefore, the brand removed its menu across all its restaurants in the Kingdom. Created in collaboration with Leo Burnett Dubai, the campaign ran across outdoor billboards, digital channels and social media, and had an immediate impact, driving a 37 per cent increase in footfall. Outdoor billboards outside the McDonald's drive-thrus displayed messages such as, 'You didn't drive all this way to experiment,' while the in-store menus that are usually displayed on the space behind the counter were replaced with a single line, 'You know what you want.'
