8 new casual restaurants you need to try in Dubai right now
Casual dining in Dubai for the win… We love a bit casual dining in this household, and if you're also always on the lookout for something a little more relaxed, laid back and less frilly, this list for you. New and somewhat-new openings, incredibly inviting and with singular stories of their own. Go on, plan a cheeky weeknight dinner. Maison Dali From the mind of Chef Tristin Farmer comes this new, quirky dinner spot. Maison Dali takes from the colourful surrealism of Salvador Dali, with quirky interiors draped in red and stripes, low lighting and wacky placements. Some may argue this is not a casual spot, but one can show up spontaneously, dressed down or up, and have a sweet mid-week meal. The food is inspired heavily by Japanese techniques, and they have a fantastic menu of real, non-alcoholic beverages. Maison Dali, The Opus by OMNIYAT, Mon to Fri, 12pm to 2.30pm, 6pm to 12am, Sat and Sun, 6pm to 1am, Tel: (0) 4 257 9554, @maisondali_dubai Manāo Manāo's compact space, minimal, bare-Earth interiors and the absence of foam, fizz, smoke, leaf of various precious metals, caviar, demonstrations, installations, dust from the moon, water from Mars and fire from the sun means there is only one thing in focus – the food. This is a flavour-driven, chef-driven restaurant. Come as you are, dine, drink and leave wanting to do it all over again.

Kiyoshi is Dubai Creek Harbour's latest licensed restaurant
Dubai's dining scene is ever-evolving, with new concepts popping up almost daily. Among the exciting new additions is Kiyoshi, which brings a refined yet welcoming take on contemporary Japanese dining to Dubai Creek Harbour. Kiyoshi's interiors blend nature and urban elegance, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary architecture. Influenced by the beauty of Mount Fuji, the space is enriched with bespoke details, from painted cherry blossoms on the terracotta tiles that lie behind the bar to laser-painted portraits and custom glass installations. Whether dining indoors or soaking in the Dubai Creek skyline from the terrace, guests are welcomed into a space that merges tradition with modernity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FACT UAE (@factmagazines) The menu at Kiyoshi covers cold and raw dishes, hot specialities, kushiyaki and handrolls, and is the brainchild of Executive Chef Gabriel Martinez. Signature dishes include the Butternut Squash Misoyaki, a delicate blend of black sesame purée and pomegranate mint pesto, and the Tenderloin Avocado Tower, featuring sushi rice, snap peas, and a sweet soy glaze. The Riverina Beef Tataki, enhanced with truffle ponzu, scallions, and crispy shallots, and the Honey Miso Glazed Carrots are also popular choices. Beyond the kitchen, Kiyoshi's bar features elevated creations, such as the Kiyotini —a bold mix of vodka, cherry tomato, balsamic vinegar, and a hint of sweetness—and the Dancing Akiko, infused with kumquat, umeshu, and melon cordial, each crafted to enhance the dining experience. As Fuse Holding's debut homegrown concept, Kiyoshi sets the stage for future innovations, with the group soon introducing Isabel Mayfair and Hanbok to The Galleria Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi.
