Dubai, a city synonymous with opulence and innovation, is home to a myriad of dining experiences that cater to discerning palates. Among these, Ariana’s Persian Kitchen stands out as a hidden gem – an oasis of authentic Persian flavours nestled within the iconic Atlantis The Royal resort.
Meet Ariana: A Culinary Visionary
At the helm of this gastronomic haven is the award-winning TV chef and author, Ariana Bundy. With roots tracing back to Iran, Ariana brings a rich tapestry of culinary heritage to Dubai’s vibrant food scene. Her passion for Persian cuisine is palpable, and her commitment to preserving traditional recipes while infusing them with a touch of modern luxury is commendable.
The Ambiance: A Harmonious Blend
As you step into Ariana’s Persian Kitchen, you’re enveloped in an ambiance that seamlessly marries tradition and elegance. The décor, inspired by the opulent palaces of ancient Persia, features intricate mosaic tiles, plush velvet seating, and soft lighting that casts a warm glow. The restaurant overlooks the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf, offering a serene backdrop for indulging in culinary delights.
The Culinary Journey: Flavours That Transcend Time
Ariana’s menu reads like a love letter to Persian cuisine. Begin your journey with a flourish – Beluga caviar gracing your table. These precious pearls, sourced from the Caspian Sea, evoke luxury and indulgence. Pair them with a delicate rosewater sea bream, kissed by fragrant petals. It’s a symphony of flavours and textures.
For those seeking opulence, look no further. The fall-off-the-bone lamb chops (shishlik) tantalise the tastebuds. In addition, the grandeur of the sturgeon kebab awaits your discerning palate. Each bite whispers tales of culinary prowess.
Fear not, plant-based connoisseurs! Ariana’s embraces you. The vegan caviar is a revelation. And we urge you to explore the Impossible ‘meat’ koofteh tabrizi, or the kebab, Impossible koobideh… either way, you won’t be disappointed.
When the last plate is cleared, when the laughter echoes through the mosaic halls, remember – you’ve dined where tradition thrives. Ariana’s Persian Kitchen is a legacy etched in exquisite flavours.
