Welcome to NAHATÉ Dubai, a joyful family-run restaurant and nightclub club at Podium Level, DIFC. Our motto, MORE THAN HOME, reflects a simple idea: the vibe of the best friend's apartment, where you can relax and be yourself.
Besides delicious food and fun parties, you can enjoy the first-ever Jacob & Co cigar lounge and the Baccarat Chef's table, along with signature cocktails in famous crystal glasses.
to feel the vibe
This is our family...
Our family founders, the brains and the heart behind NAHATÉ Dubai. Their unique vision and decades of hospitality experience together at home and work inform everything we do.
Jenya’s exceptional gift for connecting with people and managing intricate details, combined with Sam’s business and creative talents, makes them unbeatable as a team. Thanks to them, everyone feels relaxed, taken care of, and special at NAHATÉ Dubai.
Trained and mentored by some of France’s biggest names, from chocolatier Pascal Caffet to chefs-pâtissiers Angelo Musa and Philippe Conticini, Yazid climbed to the top of his game. His professional recognition is supported by many awards, including the World Cup of Frozen Desserts in 2014 when he was just 22. His philosophy of simplicity and sharing resonates with our idea of a welcoming home with authentic dishes to remember.
A traveler at heart, Daniel is constantly looking to up his game. He spent his twenties sharpening his skills in exceptional kitchens around the globe. His first restaurant with Antonin Bonnet, Sergent Recruteur, earned a Michelin star just 4 months after opening. As Daniel says: “If products are exceptional, I don’t have much to do.” He reimagines popular dishes, making them lighter and flavorful to bring joy to our guests at NAHATÉ Dubai.
Armed initially with a computer science degree, Andrey swapped algorithms for highballs, taking the global bar scene by storm. He soon found himself working with bars from the Top 50 World’s Best list, doing guest shifts at One&Only in Mauritius, Platform 9 in Tokyo, and Little Red Door in Paris, to name a few. He loves to make interactive cocktail experiences, blending traditions with innovations. And at NAHATÉ Dubai, he pulled out all the stops.
...where the heart is
Our greatest wish is to be a place where everyone shares delicious, sustainably sourced dishes. That our guests leave wanting to return, and days later, they can still remember how good everything tasted. So when they come back, they can eat the same dish again, just like they do at home. Hence the best way to describe our menu is modern nomad cuisine, not unlike our both Chefs and all Dubai citizens themselves. We also have vegetarian options, gluten-free dishes, and a “no-waste” kitchen.
...and you can pick your relatives
For guests who want that little bit extra, we have a family circle — a private membership club. Our “closest friends” have some sweet bonuses and access to two private rooms, one of which is the first-ever Jacob & Co cigar lounge, where we will have extra-private parties with Hollywood-level stars and the hottest new talents. We keep spots limited to ensure that everyone has the same vibe.
