Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown proudly announces the launch of its new Neighbourhood Afternoon Tea Experience: شاي بعد الظهر العربي (shaay ba’d al-duhr al-arabi). The experience is designed to transport guests on a flavourful journey through the UAE’s rich cultural landscape. Set against the backdrop of contemporary local art, this afternoon tea is a celebration of Arabic culture.
Nibble through the neighborhood’s history
Inspired by local cuisine, the menu infuses traditional practices with a modern twist.
Featuring nostalgic flavors that are guaranteed to tug at heartstrings – indulge in specialties including camel dark milk rose ganache, assorted baklava, and Turkish delight. On the savory side, look forward to the nostalgic comfort of freshly baked fatayer, zaatar labneh dishes, and the bastarma wrap (generously seasoned air-dried cured beef), each offering an authentic taste of the neighborhood.
Giampaolo Scarfi, Director of Restaurants & Bars at Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown shares: “Our neighborhood is an interesting place. We’re on the razor’s edge of the past and future. Look in one direction and you’ll see groundbreaking skyscrapers and world-class chefs pushing the envelope on culinary creations. Look in the other direction and you’ll see where it all began – with humble shops, historic traditions, and hearty comfort food.”
Scarfi continues: “Our chefs take deep pride in melding these threads together, bringing our guests a taste of it all. Taking Emirati and expat locals on a stroll down memory lane, and immersing global visitors in a taste of the Middle East, we’re honored to build a sense of community around this afternoon tea experience.”
