For the second year running, the Orfali Bros Bistro in Dubai has been awarded “best restaurant” in the Middle East and North Africa, according to the 50 Best list.
When Mohamad Orfali was a child, his favorite meal was breakfast. At his family home in Aleppo, Syria, his grandfather would prepare “Treet Bel Laban” — an omelet with meatballs, served on top of garlic yogurt, and eaten with warm bread. “I have so many memories of food,” says Orfali, “but I think this is the best of the best.
Or, the “shish barak a la gyoza” presents an Asian twist on the traditional Levantine meat dumpling, drizzled with sujuk oil, inspired by spicy Sichuan flavors. “We love to surprise people — for me, surprises create memories,” says Orfali. Orfali and his two younger brothers lived, worked and studied in multiple countries before settling in Dubai, and their dishes communicate this multiculturalism: a nostalgia for home, yet the joy of embracing new experiences.
