Em Sherif
There’s no a la carte menu, just good food

Nowhere is the discussion of ‘best Arabic food’ as heated as it is here in the GCC. For Esquire, that answer is Em Sherif.
It takes its name from the nickname of its popular Lebanese chef Mireille Hayek, and it stands out for not even bothering with an a la carte menu.
Instead, guests are presented with a constant flow of hot and cold mezze, grills and desserts (around 30 in all) and are encouraged to try everything by the helpful staff. It is a first-rate, fun and immersive dining experience.
