For many centuries, the land of the Levant has been renowned for its unique and rich culture. As a crossroads of the Eastern Mediterranean, Western Asia, and Northeast Africa, it has been influenced by many different traditions. It gave rise to various distinctive phenomena, among which one of the most striking is the famous Levantine cuisine. The knowledge and expertise of preparing excellent dishes have been carefully handed down from generation to generation. Today we have the opportunity to embrace the Levant cooking heritage in the exotic atmosphere of Awani restaurant, winner of Luxury Lifestyle Awards in the category of The Best Luxury Dining Experience in Dubai, UAE.

Drawing inspiration from centuries of culinary tradition, Awani offers an all-encompassing experience for all senses. It is a modern Oriental restaurant that serves the finest Levantine and Armenian cuisine in a setting of Arabian generosity and hospitality. Taking the best of Middle Eastern culture, Awani brings a warm atmosphere to customers with a variety of tastes from different parts of the world.

Taking centuries of Levant cuisine as their starting point, Awani chefs use the same tools and ingredients that their masterful predecessors used to create their masterpieces. Thus, the great culinary achievements of the past give rise to new and unique recipes for the future. Just as centuries ago, the masters of preparing great dishes combine the flavors loved by generations, but with a modern flair that sets Awani apart from the rest.

The award-winning restaurant continues a long tradition of creating complex dishes from simple ingredients. Familiar vegetables, meats, legumes, and other products become part of Awani recipes, taking on new flavors and colors. Using a unique approach, the restaurant’s team offers a menu for both local and international audiences, featuring both popular traditional Middle Eastern dishes and world-renowned delicacies.

Although Awani has been recognized by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards committee as one of the best culinary experiences in Dubai, the restaurant’s geography is not limited to the United Arab Emirates. In addition to the three locations in the UAE capital, the heritage of Levant cuisine can be enjoyed by residents and guests in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Each venue in Dubai boasts a great location, thanks to which visitors can enjoy not only the warm atmosphere of oriental hospitality but also wonderful views outside. Awani at The Dubai Mall, for example, allows visitors to watch the breathtaking performances of The Dubai Fountain. From the restaurant in The Beach, JBR, you can enjoy the view of the waterfront and the sea. Come to Awani at City Centre Mirdif, and you will appreciate the invariably refined interior, traditionally impeccable service, and the splendor of the centuries-old Mediterranean cuisine.

Awani’s exquisite gourmet menu provides a wide variety of dishes, carefully crafted by the restaurant’s experienced chefs. Soaking up the heritage of Levantine cooking, they add a new twist that sets them apart. Awani’s specialties, such as Crispy Halloumi Salad, Fattoush, Lamb Chops, Chicken Maqlobeh, and Crumble Date Cake, are particularly appreciated and loved by diners.
