From screen to plate: Creative Dubai cinema experience allows you to eat what you see across five-course menu
How many times have you watched a film and wondered what the food in a particular scene might taste like? At Teatro restaurant in Rotana Towers Dubai, Movie Eats transforms that passing thought into a cinematic dining experience. This is not just dinner and a movie; it is a curated event where each course is inspired by what appears on screen, timed to match key moments in the film. The set up When I visited, the feature was Eat Pray Love, starring Julia Roberts as Elizabeth Gilbert, a woman on a journey of self (and culinary) discovery across Italy, India and Bali. Much like the film's story, the menu moved through Italian and Indian flavours, bringing the narrative to life through taste. Setting the scene for the five-course dinner-and-show experience, a menu, cutlery and napkins are laid out before guests arrive. In keeping with a traditional cinema experience, we are initially served popcorn. On a roll My experience began with a mixed berry mojito, a light and refreshing drink reminiscent of the relaxed aperitivo scenes from the film's Italian chapter. The first course was cheese ravioli, a rich and creamy dish notable for its full flavour. The second course arrived as a larger platter combining artichoke and melon, with clam tagliatelle and Napoli pizza. Although they connected well with what we were seeing on screen, I felt the mix of dishes did not complement each other particularly well. The tagliatelle was nicely prepared, but I am not a huge fan of clams; and the pizza would have definitely benefitted from more sauce and toppings. Moving away from Italian food, we were served turkey breast slices with vegetables and gravy, presented during the film's Thanksgiving montage. The meat was tender and juicy, and felt as warm and comforting as the scene we watched. As the film moves to India and Elizabeth's journey of self-discovery begins, we were presented with an Indian dipping platter featuring sambar, daal and chutney, served with saffron basmati rice and puri. The dishes were bold and fragrant, but the spices were strong to the point of overwhelming for my palate. To finish, we were served chocolate cupcakes, which linked perfectly with the final leg of Eat Pray Love, as the characters are eating a similar dessert towards the end of the film. Behind the scenes Movie Eats launched in Dubai in November 2023. Since then, it has hosted a series of events and built a growing community of film and food lovers. Founder and chief executive Sarah Fay says the idea is rooted in her love for storytelling and sensory immersion. 'We choose films where food plays a central or memorable role in the storyline,' she tells The National. 'Our team then designs a menu that brings those dishes to life, blending storytelling with flavour to create a fully immersive dining experience.' So far, the team has featured titles such as Ratatouille, The Menu and Shrek, each matched with multicourse menus that correspond to specific scenes. Hot ticket The next screening is scheduled for October 2025, with tickets expected to be released in September. Tickets start at Dh389 for adults and Dh199 for children under 12. Screenings typically accommodate between 30 and 50 guests, which keeps the atmosphere intimate while still feeling communal. Guests are encouraged to book early as screenings tend to sell out. The Movie Eats team are currently considering expanding around the UAE. 'We're exploring opportunities to take Movie Eats to the other emirates and even internationally,' Fay says. 'We're also working on new theme nights, collaborations and possibly children's editions in the near future.' A cut above Movie Eats is a fun concept where food becomes part of the film unfolding on screen. While some dishes are more memorable than others, the attention to detail in the set up and service adds to the experience. Courses are timed and served smoothly, allowing you to stay immersed without distraction. It makes for a creative and memorable night out.

Mouni Roy gets candid about her upcoming spy thriller project ‘Salakaar'
Actress Mouni Roy has talked about her upcoming spy thriller project 'Salakaar,' and said that what struck her the most was the script's ability to weave political suspense with very personal, intimate moments. Mouni shared, 'Joining Salakaar was an opportunity to explore a world unlike any I've stepped into before. The narrative's intensity and emotional layers demanded that I push myself to new heights as an artist.' She added: 'What struck me most was the script's ability to weave political suspense with very personal, intimate moments. Every scene required careful attention to nuance and depth, which made the experience deeply rewarding.' Directed by Faruk Kabir and Produced by Sphereorigins and Mahir Films, Salakaar is a gripping espionage thriller, which is slated to release on Aug.8. She added: 'The camaraderie on set and the shared vision of the team made this journey unforgettable. I'm excited for the audience to see a side of me they haven't seen before and to be a part of a story that is as thrilling as it is meaningful.' The makers on Monday unveiled the teaser, which is set across two timelines — 1978 and 2025. 'Salakaar' follows the story of an Indian spy and sets the stage for an intense drama, where old enemies resurface, and the past threatens to destroy the present. The series is a blend of history and suspense, making intelligence its biggest arsenal. It also stars Naveen Kasturia, Mouni Roy, Mukesh Rishi and Surya Sharma. Inspired by real events, Salakaar is a story of a decorated spymaster who, driven by sheer mettle and crucial intelligence, successfully disarms enemy forces to safeguard national security. Faruk Kabir, director and co-writer, said: 'Salakaar is an intense spy thriller with a deeply emotional core - it is the legend of an extraordinary Indian spy. It's not about action for the sake of spectacle; it's about intelligence as strategy and silence as sacrifice.' 'It was an incredible experience working with Naveen, Mukesh ji and Mouni — they did absolute justice to their characters and added so much to each character. This series is my tribute to the unsung minds who fought not only with bullets, but with brilliance,' Kabir added. Naveen Kasturia said that Salakaar was an immense challenge, pushing me in unprecedented ways. 'Character-wise, portraying an individual of such astuteness and constant alertness, while living with the imminent danger of being an undercover operative in a foreign land, was a unique experience. One misstep could mean capture or worse.' 'Physically, it was my first foray into action, making it incredibly demanding. It was Faruk Kabir's passionate vision that truly guided me through this transformative role.' Mukesh Rishi added that Salakaar is a spy thriller unlike any he has come across. 'It's a project that values intellect as much as intensity where the real power lies in strategy, silence, and sacrifice. When I first read the script, I was struck by the authenticity of its world and the depth of its characters.' Indo-Asian News Service
