An exquisite five-course menu awaits at this intriguing dining destination, served daily from 4pm to 8pm and priced at AED 250 per person

Dubai, UAE (XX May 2025): Allow yourself to be transported to an otherworldly realm of exquisite indulgence this summer as ALAYA introduces its mouthwatering Flavours of Sayf menu. This curated culinary journey has been specially designed for the warmer season, and each dish is bursting with innovative flavours. Available daily from 4pm to 8pm and priced at AED 250 per person, this limited-time offering captures the essence of ALAYA’s Middle Eastern and Mediterranean heritage, beautifully presented across cold and hot starters, mains, sides, and desserts.

Located in the heart of DIFC, ALAYA is the ultimate summer dining destination. Featuring inviting interiors, elegant marble accents, and breezy terrace settings, the venue provides a refined retreat from the heat while transporting guests to the vibrant souks and coastal cafés of the Eastern Mediterranean. Designed for epicureans seeking a leisurely evening meal, Flavours of Sayf promises a refreshing escape for all the senses.

Diners can begin their journey with a vibrant array of cold starters, including a creamy Muhammara with walnut, sweet pepper, and pistachio, and a refreshing Fattoush Salad, rich with tomato, cucumber, and sumac. For a touch of spice and texture, the Spiced Carrot Salad is the perfect choice, adorned with crispy bulgur and spiced yoghurt. Hot starters such as the golden Fried Calamari served with za’atar leaves and harissa emulsion, and the comforting Potato Harra, offer bold and satisfying notes that echo the region’s rich culinary legacy.

For mains, guests can choose between three standout dishes: the succulent Shish Kofte, bathed in a traditional tomato sauce, the flavourful Mediterranean Pasta complete with eggplant, soft cheese, and tomato, or the tender Shish Chicken paired with grilled vegetables and oregano. Sides like the signature Maqlouba Rice, layered with fried eggplant and cauliflower, add a soulful, homely touch to the spread. To end on a sweet note, diners can enjoy a delicate Apricot Tart with cream cheese and vanilla ice cream or a scoop of luxurious Pistachio Ice Cream topped with vibrant pomegranate seeds.

With Flavours of Sayf, ALAYA is once again pushing the boundaries of blending tradition with modern flair, offering a summer menu that’s as light and inviting as the season itself. Don’t miss this limited-time experience that brings together rich cultural influences, seasonal ingredients, and masterful technique, all within the inviting surroundings of this one-of-a-kind dining destination.
