Mohamad Orfali's Three Bros is finally open in Dubai
The Orfali brothers have a new project on the pass.
The award-winning trio have launched Three Bros – a 22-seater restaurant right next door to the OG Orfali Bros. in Jumeirah's Wasl 51.
They've successfully spun fine dining with the fun and flirty in the kitchen. Mohamad's running the show and working the room, while Wassim and Omar are on pastry duty, and together they've ditched the stiff white tablecloths for 70's décor, a storytelling menu and a lab-like approach to soft drink pairings.
This is a restaurant that refuses to be governed by a single culture. Instead, Three Bros becomes a hotbed of life, a rare anomaly otherwise known as 'Dubai cuisine'. The menu is in full technicolour – a glorious mash-up that refuses to pick sides.
Loud fusions and flavours from around the world draw on the simplicity of the Mediterranean, the precision of French gastronomy and the deep traditions of Syria.
Here, you'll snack on comté and celeriac croquettes while keeping an eye on the chefs making your 'pidza' (a pizza-pide hybrid). There's also morel chawanmushi, adobo chicken wings, gem and roquefort salad and TNT patatas. Pair these alongside fermented white grape juice and olive oil drinks in delicate glasses.
Definitely don't miss out on incredible desserts, such as the peanut and raspberry jam sando cake.

Despite this proximity to Orfali Bros., Three Bros throws out the delicacy of its flagship, letting us enjoy the glamour of excellent cuisine not from Dubai's latest shiniest new rooftop, but from a familiar, charming and giddy little spot in the heart of Jumeriah.
Three Bros is where you go for food that's serious without taking itself too seriously – proof that the Orfali brothers know exactly how to keep Dubai talking (and eating).
Open daily noon-6pm and 7pm-11.30pm. Wasl 51, Jumeirah, (04 238 6677).
