Orfali Bros Bistro

Orfali Bros Bistro is a one-Michelin-starred restaurant in Dubai operated by brothers Mohammed, Omar, and Wassim Orfali, celebrated for a creative and deeply personal approach to contemporary cuisine that draws from their Syrian heritage while engaging fluently with the language of modern international gastronomy. The menu is inventive, frequently playful, and rooted in genuine culinary knowledge — dishes reference Middle Eastern flavors and techniques without being constrained by them, instead using them as one thread in a broader creative weave that incorporates global influences and modern fine dining sensibility. The restaurant operates in a relaxed bistro format that deliberately avoids the formality of classical fine dining, creating a warm, accessible atmosphere in which the food takes center stage without ceremony. Service is friendly, engaged, and knowledgeable. The wine and beverage selection is carefully assembled to complement the diverse menu. Orfali Bros progressed from Bib Gourmand to one Michelin star and has earned international recognition for its originality and the genuine passion evident in every aspect of its offering. Mohammed Orfali also conceptualized Manāo, which earned its own Michelin star in 2025.
