Dubai, UAE – COCO Restaurant & Lounge, a trailblazing concept from NazCorp, officially opened with an ultra-exclusive, star-studded launch in Downtown Dubai unveiling its show-stopping 360-degree panoramic glass terrace overlooking the iconic Burj Khalifa. With a botanical-themed decor reminiscent of the stunning Hanging Gardens of Babylon, COCO draws inspiration from its rich heritage in London.
The London-born dining destination made an impeccable first impression as over 600 VIP guests, celebrities, influencers, and media personalities gathered for the grand reveal. The evening was a sensory spectacle from start to finish, featuring live harpists, stilt walkers, interactive DJ & live music performances, dazzling mirror dancers, and a captivating fire show.
Among the notable attendees were social heavyweights like Joseph Alayoubi, Jumana Abdu Rahman, Tam Khan, Zeus, and cricketers like Chirag Suri and Anshh Taandon, alongside rare appearances by Andrew and Tristan Tate. Influencers like Andreas Koundourakis, Nadir Bin Nasir and Marcel and media elites added flair to the VIP guest list.
Upon arrival, guests were treated to fresh fruit platters, premium fruit champagne, olives, and fine cheeses, all while soothing harp melodies filled the air. The immersive atmosphere continued inside, where COCO's multifaceted zones came to life:
The Dome Room: Highlighted by the stunning Winged Victory sculpture, this space offers elevated fine dining perfect for friends, families, and romantic dinners.

At the helm of COCO's culinary excellence are two global heavyweights: MasterChef Maurizio, renowned for his judging role on MasterChef Indonesia, and Executive Chef Raheman, who infuses international finesse into each dish. Guests indulged in theatrical live steak presentations featuring Wagyu and Tomahawk cuts, alongside a lavish buffet showcasing international delights from Beetroot Carpaccio and Rainbow Sushi to Kunafa fresh off the live station. Signature dishes such as COCO Dynamite Shrimp, Miso Glazed Black Cod, and the indulgent 24K Tomahawk quickly became favorites of the night.

Our vision was always clear to offer an immersive experience that harmonizes international cuisine, theatrical entertainment, and refined hospitality in one of the world's most vibrant cities,' said Naz Choudhury, Founder of NazCorp & COCO.

Smoki Moto – A Korean steakhouse with fire, flair and fine dining
When a friend insists - no, raves about a restaurant, you listen. And when that friend is practically vibrating with excitement to return to Smoki Moto, Dubai's high-end licensed Korean steakhouse, you clear your calendar and go. Karishma's enthusiasm was infectious, and as we walked in, I instantly understood why. The space is warm and sleek, dimly lit with a quiet energy. Every table buzzes with anticipation, not just for the food, but for the live barbecue experience. Each table comes with its own table chef, lending a sense of theatre and intimacy to the meal. It's not just dinner; it's an experience. The menu itself is an art form. A standout feature? A marbling guide for the beef. As someone who loves steak but isn't exactly a connoisseur, I found it incredibly useful. The guide rates the meat based on marbling quality - a subtle but brilliant touch for anyone unsure of where their taste lands on the spectrum of lean to richly fatty. Our table chef was quick to recommend cuts based on our preferences, and we settled on two standout selections - the 21-day Butter Aged Wagyu Striploin (SM Marbling Score: 5 – D) and the 28-day Classic Dry Aged Wagyu Ribeye (SM Marbling Score: 8). Caramelising gently over the flame, each cut was grilled tableside by our chef, who expertly guided us through the process - from seasoning to doneness - turning the whole experience into an interactive feast. The beef melted in the mouth, rich and buttery, with each bite demonstrating the care that went into its aging and preparation. Before the stars of the show arrived, we warmed up with the Korean Fried Chicken Gangjung - boneless chicken thighs paired with rice cakes, roasted nuts, and chives. Sticky, crispy, sweet, and spicy all at once, this dish was easily one of the best versions of Korean fried chicken I've had in Dubai. The crunch was addictive, and the balance of textures, especially the chewy rice cake, was spot on. With the steaks perfectly grilled to our liking, we tried the Steamed Korean White Rice as an accompaniment. This was the only part of the meal that felt underwhelming - too sticky and quite bland. Compared to the explosive flavours everywhere else, the rice was a flat note in an otherwise symphonic meal. What makes Smoki Moto's menu so memorable is its unapologetic commitment to bold Korean flavours while presenting them with fine-dining precision. Inspired by traditional Korean barbecue culture but reinvented for a contemporary Dubai audience, the new menu is filled with showstoppers. Appetisers like the Avocado Silken Tofu Salad, Wagyu Nubiani, and Egg Volcano showcase the chef's ability to blend textures and flavours with finesse. The Korean Beef Tartare with thinly sliced raw wagyu and Korean pear, and the tangy Salmon Hoe with gochujang vinaigrette are perfect for those who want something bright and bold to start with. For heartier fare, dishes like the 7-Hour Shortrib Galbi Ssam, Galbi Baby Chicken, and Brisket Doenjang Jjigae steal the spotlight. The former is glazed with a sweet soy jus, while the baby chicken, marinated for 48 hours, delivers juicy tenderness with every bite. Smoki Moto also offers comforting classics like Bibimbap, Japchae, and the umami-rich Kimchi Fried Rice with house-made galbi ham and seaweed flakes, perfect for those who want to skip the steak but still dive deep into Korea's comfort food hall of fame. Of course, no meal here is complete without dessert. We tried the Coco Mango Bingsu, a dairy-free coconut milk shaved ice crowned with mango compote, fresh mango, and mango-flavoured rice cake. It was cooling, refreshing, and everything you'd want to end a fiery Korean meal with. Light yet indulgent. Smoki Moto has managed to create something rare in Dubai's saturated dining scene - a space where tradition meets innovation without losing authenticity. It's lively but not loud, refined but not fussy. Whether you're here for a special occasion or a weekly treat, this is a place where the food does all the talking, and it speaks volumes. Final verdict: Come for the steak, stay for the vibes, and don't skip the chicken. Just maybe give the rice a pass.
