Restaurant Review: The dining experience at Krasota Dubai transcends the physical
Imagine a meal that transcends the physical, transporting guests through the realms of human evolution. Krasota hosts a series of different 'shows' for lack of a better word; I feel as though a show alludes to a passive experience, whereas at Krasota, each of the 20 guests in attendance is an active participant. Krasota defines itself as a visionary and innovative dining concept that embraces hedonism and elevates gastronomy to an art form, and this experience was no exaggeration. Each of the five senses was stimulated in a symphony of tastes, physical textures, aromas, sounds, and colours, all of which united the mind with the palate. The 'show' we attended was titled IF, or Imaginary Future, and it began in space. The circular room, which seats 20 keen diners, is encircled by screens that took us straight to the Milky Way. The visual art on the walls, table, and every inch that the eye could see displayed a futuristic exploration of humans in space and how visionaries will eventually explore the cosmos to escape Earth's limitations. The futuristic dish that accompanied the galactic journey had two crisp 'space bread' cuboids, one of which was topped with caviar and the other with tuna, accompanied by a sea urchin miso soup. The second course was titled Chimera, which showcased human life's ongoing quest to reverse the damage it has done here on earth and how we aim to reconnect with nature through science and synthetic biology. The dish, entangled amid the scenes of vibrant plants and sounds of birds and bugs, was a plant-based 'meat' taco, with mushrooms and natural Coca-Cola. Following this was Apocalypse — perhaps my favourite course. This thought-provoking element of the evening, following on from the previous courses, showcased the consequences facing humanity for violating the earth. Served alongside a completely vegan, decadent eggplant miso were scenes depicting how, through unconventional means, humans can find a way back to each other through the most dire of disconnections. The journey then took us underwater, offering guests a delicious, perfectly cooked scallop served with sea urchin and sea grapes, accompanied by imagery of the vast ocean floor and telling a story of how universal seabeds can be a solution to the planet's population and resourcing issues. The final three courses took an exciting turn, with the vibe shifting from thought-provoking and moving to upbeat, exciting, and — if at all possible — even more engaging of the senses. As we travelled into Cyberpunk, the lively music, neon imagery, and tantalising foie gras burger all roused the senses in harmony. The Artificial Intelligence course allowed guests to experience 'the Matrix', capturing humanity's recent hyper-attention towards technology and thus, our reliance on it. During this part of the show, we were served the 'AI quail pie'. This concept led nicely into the final course — Eternal Life. This course is envisioned as a cathartic counterpoint to AI, predicting humanity's sublime equilibrium between technology, nature, and personal essence. With this concept, we were given a texturally unique matcha ice cream, served with mango and feijoa. When heading into this experience, the concept of 'escapism dining' was something alien to me — dining out is meant to be something that enriches the existing tapestry of life. Yet, this felt like a wild dream, worlds away from my day-to-day — in an amazing way. I would strongly urge everyone to try it once.
