Awani, located in the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) in Dubai, is a restaurant that takes pride in serving exquisite Levantine cuisine. Their culinary expertise and use of ancestral tools and ingredients create dishes that pay homage to age-old traditions of cooking, while also rewriting recipes for the future.


As you enter Awani, you will be transported to the heart of the Levant. The interior is adorned with traditional ornaments, colorful tiles, and a warm color palette that evokes a sense of nostalgia. The outdoor seating area offers stunning views of the ocean, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family and friends.



As Ramadan draws to a close, Awani is offering a delectable Iftar menu that takes you on a journey through the flavors of the Levant. The menu is an exquisite mix of traditional dishes and modern interpretations that are guaranteed to tantalize your taste buds.


To start, diners can choose between a lentil or chicken soup that is hearty, comforting and packed with flavor. The soup is followed by a platter of dried fruit that adds a sweet touch to the savory flavors of the meal. The appetizers are a feast for the senses, with a Cold Mixed Mezza that includes Kibbeh, Tabbouleh, Soujouk, Spicy Potatoes, Mini Manakeesh, Cheese Rolls, three different types of Hummus, and Vine Leaves. Each dish is carefully crafted, using traditional recipes that have been handed down for generations. The Kibbeh, in particular, was a standout dish with its crispy exterior and flavorful meat filling.


For the main course, diners at Awani can choose from a delectable selection that includes Chicken Maqloubeh, Chicken Shawarma, Oriental Rice, Yogurt Kousa, Mixed Grill, and Fish Sayadieh. The Mixed Grill is a carnivore's delight, with perfectly cooked lamb chops, tender chicken cubes, and juicy beef kebabs. Meanwhile, the Fish Sayadieh is cooked to perfection with a subtle blend of spices that enhance the delicate flavor of the dish.



To wash down the exquisite meal, you can indulge in Jallab, a traditional Middle Eastern drink made with dates, grape molasses, and rose water, or Ameredeen, a tangy beverage made from dried apricots that is perfect for the summer months.


Awani's commitment to a culinary journey doesn't just stop at their main courses and drinks; they also have a delectable dessert menu. The restaurant's signature Cotton Candy Muhallabieh, a traditional Middle Eastern milk pudding topped with cotton candy, is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth. For Ramadan, Awani is also serving a selection of traditional desserts that are sure to satisfy your cravings.


Awani is a place that takes pride in its heritage and uses it to create an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. The Iftar menu is a celebration of Levantine cuisine, offering a range of dishes that cater to different palates. As Ramadan draws to a close, we urge you to visit Awani and indulge in the flavors of the Levant. With its warm ambiance, stunning views, and mouth-watering dishes, Awani is the perfect place to end your Ramadan with a memorable meal.

What a wonderful read about Awani's authentic Levantine cuisine! The way they blend tradition with innovation reminds me of how delatarune creatively reimagines classic RPG elements. The description of their JBR location with those beautiful tiles makes me hungry - might play <a href="https://deltarune.cc">deltarune</a> while waiting for my reservation!

I’ve seen my fair share of sites in this category, but Dubai hotel companion visit genuinely impressed me. It runs fast, the design is clean, and the overall feel is very polished. I didn’t encounter a single issue while navigating through the pages. It’s responsive and user-friendly, which makes a big difference in how enjoyable the experience is. You can tell it’s been built with care. Highly recommended.

Awani sounds amazing! That Cold Mixed Mezza sounds like a proper ragdoll hit of flavor combinations. I gotta try that Kibbeh! Definitely adding this to my Dubai food list.
