Dubai’s dining scene keeps growing, and the latest gem to make its mark is Mann Marzi, located at Raffles Dubai. Think of it as a “culinary and sensory theatre,” where lighting, music, aroma, and design all come together to create an unforgettable meal.

Mann Marzi’s menu takes you on a flavorful journey, following the ancient trade routes from Samarkand to Sindh. Rather than the usual set courses, the meal unfolds in chapters with intriguing titles like Routes & Roots, The Emperor’s Court, and The Traveller’s Port.

The idea is to guide diners through different regions and time periods, blending familiar flavors with fresh culinary techniques. You’ll find unique dishes like cold kebabs and ragda, alongside small and large plates that deliver spice, smoke, and tang, all while staying true to modern presentation.

And for those seeking something truly special, there’s an exclusive 19-course chef’s table by Chef Nimish Bhatia, offering an intimate, multi-course adventure.

Music plays a key role here too. The carefully selected music mirrors the journey on the plate, with classical tunes setting the mood early on and upbeat tracks appearing closer the the nighttime. If you’re on the hunt for a dining experience that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food, Mann Marzi at Raffles Dubai is a must-visit.

And if you love exploring new flavors, you won’t want to miss SANA, an Uzbek restaurant opening soon at Mandarin Oriental Downtown Dubai. With its own take on Silk Route cuisine, SANA is sure to offer a unique twist on traditional dishes that will transport you on another culinary adventure.
