Booking Orfali Bros — what to know

Orfali Bros is the opposite of a Dubai scene: a bistro in a Jumeirah mall with a two-storey open kitchen, no dress code and no minimum, that happens to hold a Michelin star and a place on MENA's 50 Best. The tables are small, the room fills nightly, and the answer for a weekend is a week or two of notice.

How we book it

Send your date, party size and an indicative budget on WhatsApp and we confirm directly with the venue — typically within the hour during the season. Nothing is committed until you approve; if your first choice is full we come back with the closest genuine alternative in Dubai, never a downgrade dressed up.

Getting there & timing

Dubai's two airports take private jets around the clock with fast-track on arrival. The October-to-April season is when the city's tables are hardest to get. VIP transport — jets, helicopters and chauffeured cars — can be arranged around the booking for guests arriving from overseas.

About Orfali Bros

Orfali Bros opened in 2021 at Wasl 51 in Jumeirah 1, run by the Syrian chef Mohamad Orfali and his brothers Wassim and Omar. The room is light and airy under a striking two-storey open kitchen, and the food is original, playful small plates — Mediterranean at their core with influences from everywhere the brothers have cooked. It took a Michelin star in 2024 and has kept it, and it sits high on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list.

It opens daily for lunch from noon to 6pm and dinner from 7pm to 11pm, à la carte with no minimum spend. It is the table Dubai's chefs eat at on their night off, which is the best recommendation a room can have.

Booking, the OF.luxury way

One message covers it: date, party size and any preferences. We confirm availability and the night's terms directly with the venue, hold the table in your name, and stay reachable until you are seated. Every booking is subject to the venue's availability and confirmed case by case.
