There's a super fun Harry Potter-themed brunch coming to Abu Dhabi
Wands at the ready, Abu Dhabi – a spellbinding brunch is swooping into town and it's every Potterhead's dream.
On Saturday May 3, Urban Kitchen at Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi is transforming into a Hogwarts-inspired haven for one magical afternoon.
Think floating candles (well, close enough), house banners, and a feast worthy of the Great Hall itself.
This one-off brunch is an escape into the world of witchcraft and wizardry, complete with themed food stations that channel the flavours of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

Whether you're brave enough to try dragon-braised short ribs with fire BBQ sauce or are feeling more like Hagrid's hearty shepherd's pie, there's something spellbinding for every palate.
There will be fresh seafood, towering roasts, live cooking stations, and desserts so tasty they deserve their own chapter – we're talking devil's snare chocolate cake and Flamel's brûlée. Yum.
Of course, no magical feast is complete without butterbeer, and Urban Kitchen has got its own frothy twist on the beloved beverage.
There's also a whimsical mixed drink list that includes a glittering Felix Felicis bubbly potion, a fiery fizz, and a dreamy love potion No. 9¾ (no amortentia required).
Mocktails are magical too, with tropical golden snitch sips and colour-changing elixirs of enlightenment made with lavender lemonade and butterfly pea tea.
The fun doesn't stop at the buffet – guests are encouraged to show up in their finest robes and wizard gear for a best-dressed contest, with prizes for the most enchanting looks across four categories: best-dressed male, female, boy, and girl. So whether you're repping Slytherin sass or Gryffindor glory, dress to impress.
But just like the room of requirement, space is limited – and trust us, this one's going to vanish fast.
Dhs265 (soft drinks), Dhs395 (house beverages), Dhs695 (premium bubbly), Dhs90 (kids aged 7-12), free (kids under 6). Saturday May 3, 12.30pm-5pm. Urban Kitchen, Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi. (02 698 8137).
