Orfali Bros Bistro is located in Jumeirah 1 at Wasl 51 Mall in Dubai and offers a bold, inventive bistronomy experience rooted in tradition. Run by three Syrian brothers — Mohammad, Wassim, and Omar Orfali — it blends heritage with modern techniques to craft an unforgettable culinary journey.
The restaurant opened in 2021 and quickly made a name for itself. Their ethos could be described as “rules can be bent, but tradition must be honored.” The open kitchen concept allows guests to see the magic happen while fostering interaction.
The ambiance is modern, warm, and minimalist: high ceilings, understated décor, thoughtful lighting, and the central open kitchen make the space intangible yet intimate. Seating is limited, so booking ahead is important.
The menu is built around shareable dishes, clever flavor pairings, and surprises. Some standout items:
Desserts, pastries, and éclairs are crafted by Wassim and Omar in a dedicated upstairs pastry kitchen.
In terms of pricing, Orfali Bros sits within the fine dining neighborhood. The average spend per person is about USD 50, which places it in the upper-mid sector. However, the creative cuisine, ambiance, and recognition make that price appealing.
Orfali Bros Bistro has been ranked #1 in the Middle East & North Africa for 2025. It is also listed in the Michelin Guide, signaling its high quality.
Reservations are strongly recommended — with limited seating and high demand, securing a table early pays off. For food lovers, Orfali Bros stands as a shining gem in both Dubai’s and the region’s gastronomic scene.
