The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) was unable to speak to the former restaurant owners to confirm if they are the new applicants. Under new plans, Mrs Ali intends to convert the former restaurant to a retail space, and to convert a staff flat to a residential property, according to council documents. And while the documents mention the “conversion of staff flat to self-contained residential unit”, they also mention “a first-floor rear extension and an additional residential unit”.

Dubai Food Festival 2021 is celebrating ‘Made in Dubai’ entrepreneurs, and has shortlisted homegrown eateries built by visionaries who have given the city unique menus, cafes, restaurants and dining concepts.
These selected eateries have been born and bred in Dubai by Emirati, international and globetrotter chefs (chefs who have travelled widely), who have demonstrated exemplary entrepreneurial and culinary skills.
With more than 200 nationalities in Dubai, it is no surprise that the list includes eateries that serve cuisine from all over the world, some with Emirati adaptation. Not only this, these food entrepreneurs have also contributed to Dubai’s rapid hospitality growth and development.
