The first authentic Emirati cuisine restaurant since 1997. Our restaurant in Dubai caters a healthy, modern and traditional recipe of salad, snacks and sandwiches that meets the expectations of our multi-cultural clientele, and also offers a variety of drinks including different types of teas, exotic and refreshing cold drinks.
This old-world charm is one of the few authentic examples Dubai has of a life gone by, when her people would meet and take refuge in tea houses, not just to escape the heat of the day but to bond with each other, relax and talk business. It opened in 1997, and remains an oasis of peace and calm where tourists and locals come time and again, to journey back to the city’s past and explore its cultural heritage.
Dubai Tourism cites the tea house as a cultural reference point and recently both the Michelin-starred culinary expert and author Geoffrey Zakarian and TV star Martha Stewart visited the tea house, praising it in their blogs and social media platforms.
As Dubai has grown, the tea house has moved beyond Al Fahidi, opened 4 new branches in UAE- Sharjah, The Mall Jumeirah, Jumeirah Archaeological Site, Arabian Fish House in Kites Beach Jumeirah and one branch in Egypt – Dubai House . ‘It is time now to take the experience to other parts of the world. Being traditional is not something to shy away from, we should be proud of who we are.’
