Antika's new chapter at 25hours Hotel has to be your next nightlife destination
Oriental restaurant and bar Antika has moved house, and we reckon it's a pretty solid excuse to switch up your usual weekend plans.
Whether you're chasing a dance floor, a sing-along or just the next destination to debut your latest fit, this spot at 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central might just be what your calendar's been missing.
Nestled within the 25 Jump Street – a multivenue dining destination – in DIFC, Antika offers an immersive dining experience, blending culinary delights with cultural entertainment.
Inspired by Oriental golden-age glamour, its new home features red velvet seats, gold columns and a patterned ceiling. It's sultry, opulent and utterly eye-catching.
Blending all the familiar things we know and love about the concept – hearty Levantine cuisine, romantic interiors and energy that builds as the night does, this DIFC hot spot is perfect when you're trying to impress your date or when you and the gang are after some good fun.
The food is served along with plenty of live oriental entertainment. Every night, the stage is graced by the Middle East's top artists hitting high notes. Dancers reinterpret heritage melodies seamlessly giving way to dynamic DJ sets that are sure to keep you tapping your feet through the night.
Speaking of food, the meal is every bit the Levantine spread you're after.
Chef Louay Noureldine's Levantine menu is sure to take you on a journey across the desert.
The Hummus Royale, crowned with Wagyu tenderloin, the Fisherman's grilled lobster and Osmaliyeh tiramisu are all showstoppers.
Don't forget to grab yourself a drink from the bar, where the curated mixed drinks spotlight regional ingredients.
So, what are you waiting for? Antika's laid out the welcome mat – your only job is to turn up and tuck in.
