And whilst the food will undoubtedly be a highlight, the restaurant’s interior is something to be seen. Described as having taken “inspiration from a galactic scene” with “a contemporary interpretation of Islamic mocarabes”, the three-level space can seat 400 people in its 500sqm space. The real jewel in the restauarant however is the giant Fabergé egg that punctuates the centre of the space.

The restaurant will also offer a private Chef’s Table for 12 guests. Accessibly only via a private elevator, the space has its own kitchen and terrace. There is also a sizeable terrace with views of the Dubai skyline, as well as three distinct dining areas to deliver a series of different experiences.
