Orfali Bros Unveils Their New Dhs350 OG Menu in Dubai

Few restaurants in Dubai have generated as much excitement over the past few years as Orfali Bros.

Located in Wasl 51 in Al Wasl, Orfali Bros has earned a Michelin star, and secured repeated spots on the MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list. It’s also built a reputation for serving some of the most creative food in the region.

Reservations are notoriously difficult to secure, and dishes such as the Corn Bomb and Umami Éclair have become hot topics among Dubai's food lovers. Now, a refreshed version of its popular OG Menu has been introduced.

Priced at Dhs350 per person including VAT, the tasting menu brings together many of the dishes that helped put Orfali Bros on the map.

For anyone who has been curious about the hype but hesitant to commit to a larger tasting menu, now is the time!

What Is Orfali Bros

Orfali Bros is led by brothers Mohamad, Wassim and Omar Orfali.

Originally from Syria, the trio have built a dining concept that blends Levantine flavours with influences from around the world. Their cooking draws inspiration from French techniques, Japanese precision and Middle Eastern traditions, often combining all three approaches within a single dish.

Instead of simply recreating traditional recipes, the brothers reinterpret them through a modern lens while keeping their cultural roots intact. That approach has earned widespread recognition from critics, chefs and diners alike.

What does the new OG menu cover

The OG Menu is a curated collection of dishes that have become synonymous with the Orfali Bros experience. Some are long-time favourites that regular diners specifically return for. Others showcase their more recent creative direction.

Together, they provide a comprehensive introduction to the restaurant's culinary identity.

The Corn Bomb

The meal begins with the Corn Bomb.

At first glance, it appears simple. In reality, it is a deeply layered dish built around 36-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano and huitlacoche, often referred to as corn truffle.

Rich, earthy and intensely savoury, it delivers comfort and complexity in equal measure.

The Umami Éclair

If there is one dish that best represents the creativity of Orfali Bros, it may be the Umami Éclair. This savoury pastry combines porcini emulsion, yeast garum, fermented glaze, cacao nibs and beef coppa.

Each ingredient contributes a different layer of flavour, creating a dish that is rich, balanced and remarkably memorable. It is the type of plate that makes diners pause after the first bite.

Aleppo Street Bun

Filled with sujuk, toum, pickled haskorieh peppers and beef coppa, it delivers bold flavours inspired by the street food traditions of Aleppo.

Roots Spicy Burghul Salad

The Roots Spicy Burghul Salad offers a lighter contrast. Aleppo chilli paste, puffed burghul, tomatoes, olive oil and shiso leaves come together in a dish that is fresh, vibrant and packed with texture.

Guess What?

Guess What? is one of the menu's most playful creations.

Lacto-fermented tomatoes are paired with cucumber, feta, purslane and sourdough, highlighting the kitchen's skill with fermentation and acidity.

ORF Labaniyeh

The centrepiece of the menu is the ORF Labaniyeh. Braised lamb neck is paired with lamb bone marrow, garlic butter, mint and yoghurt.

The meat is incredibly tender, while the yoghurt provides freshness that balances the richness of the dish. It is a generous, deeply satisfying plate and a fitting highlight for the tasting experience.

Select a dessert of your choice to wrap the meal

Instead of assigning a fixed dessert, Orfali Bros allows you to choose directly from their pastry display.

If you want the safest picks, start with the pistachio kunafa for something rich and nutty, the chocolate tart for a deeper, more indulgent finish, and the mille-feuille if you want something lighter and more delicate.

The restaurant has developed a strong reputation for its pastry programme, and selecting your own finale adds a personal element to the experience.

Optional add ons that customise the experience

If you want to elevate the meal further, several signature add-ons are available:

• Foie Gras with Hazelnut and Quince Vinegar (Dhs35). A rich and indulgent bite with sweet and nutty flavours.
• Tuna Salsa Roja with Fermented Tomato and Aji Ricoto (Dhs45). A vibrant seafood dish with bold, tangy notes.
• Homemade Moghrabieh with Chickpeas and Caramelised Onion (Dhs55). A comforting Levantine-inspired addition packed with flavour.
• Kebab Bel Karaz (Dhs75). Wagyu kebab served with sour cherry sauce, pine nuts, parsley and cinnamon, showcasing Orfali Bros' modern take on tradition.
• Caviar Bun (Dhs109). A luxurious upgrade for those looking to splurge.
• Non-alcoholic pairing (Dhs80). A curated beverage pairing designed to complement the menu.

OG Menu vs Voyage Menu

Orfali Bros currently offers two tasting menus.

The OG Menu is priced at Dhs350 per person and focuses on the dishes that earned them their reputation. The Voyage Menu costs Dhs850 per person and offers a more extensive dining experience.

If this is your first visit, the OG Menu is arguably the smarter choice. You get the signature dishes at a significantly lower price point, making it one of the best introductions to Orfali Bros available today.
