Enter a realm where Emirati heritage gracefully collides with the nostalgic charm of a bygone era, previously embodied by the Shakespeare and Co café. The first floor unfolds as a grand celebration of the UAE’s culture, elegantly woven into the fabric of the existing Victorian-style décor, with its plush, floral upholstered seating and ornate, gilded mirrors. Imagine walls adorned with large, vibrant tapestries depicting scenes from Emirati folklore, paired with modern abstract art that tells a story of the desert’s timeless beauty. Flooring transitions from rich, dark wooden panels to custom tiles, inlaid with traditional Islamic geometric patterns, guiding guests through a sensory journey of discovery. Indoor spaces are illuminated by custom-made chandeliers that echo the intricate patterns of henna designs, casting soft, inviting light across the dining areas. Each table, set with fine china embossed with Emirati motifs, is a stage for communal dining, encouraging the shared experience central to Emirati culture. Outdoor seating transforms the space into a serene retreat, featuring a lush garden with indigenous desert flora, accented by small water features that mimic the soothing sounds of a desert oasis. The area is lit by traditional lanterns, creating an intimate ambiance that invites diners to linger under the starlit sky.
