Located at The Link, you can expect several homegrown concepts.
Dubai’s dining scene just got a sky-high upgrade. Perched 100 metres above ground inside the world’s longest cantilevered building, Culinara Social Dining is the city’s latest culinary destination.
Expect bold, flavour-forward, and proudly local culinary concepts coming together in one showstopping location. Here’s what’s on the menu at Culinara:
Crudo Raw Tapas Bar
Brought to life by Chef Roberto Segura and Javier de la Flor, Crudo is all about refined raw fare with Mediterranean flair. Expect sharing plates of tuna tartare, zesty ceviche, and seafood platters that are designed for sharing.
HighBall
At the centre of it all is HighBall, a lively, all-day bar shaking up Soju highballs and signature cocktails. Whether you’re starting with sundowners or keeping the night alive, this is the place to sip and socialise with a fun and funky vibe.
Joumana’s Table
Brothers Khaled and Maleck bring their family’s Lebanese legacy recipes to life at Joumana’s Table. Inspired by their mother’s cooking, the menu serves up home-style mezze, slow-cooked stews, and grilled meats with skyline views and a generous sprinkling of nostalgia.
KONA Pizza House
From the mind of acclaimed Chef Reif Othman, KONA Pizza House marries Italian tradition with Japanese flair. Signature pies include the Diavolina, layered with gochujang tomato sauce, marinated Wagyu ribs, and galbi mayo; the Ama Ebi, which combines spicy tomato sauce, red yuzu kosho, and fresh shrimp; and the daring Spicy Kaki, topped with beef nduja and sweet persimmon.
NETTE
Wellness meets indulgence at NETTE, a French-Japanese café backed by Haider Madani. Already popular in Al Barari and Al Quoz, you can expect a menu of soy-glazed ribeye, miso-roasted veg, and seasonal salads— all crafted with sustainability and balance in mind.
Seiran
Masoud Shafie gives Persian cuisine a modern edge at Seiran, dishing up charcoal-grilled meats, saffron-scented rice, and slow-braised stews. Expect traditional food served with a modern twist that’s perfect for a cosy dinner with a skyline view. The restaurant even has the royal seal of approval from His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
SIO Ramen House
Taking its name from the Japanese word for “salt,” SIO Ramen House by Reif Othman elevates the traditional noodle shop experience with a refined yet heartfelt menu. Highlights include the signature SIO Ramen, a bowl brimming with homemade broth, tender steamed chicken, marinated egg and a bright pop of sudachi citrus; the indulgent Carbonara Udon, crowned with an onsen egg, crispy beef bacon and shaved pecorino; and the bold, broth-less Spicy Vongole Ramen, where fresh clams combine with hojiso, shiso leaves, and a fiery kick of yuzu togarashi.
The Dish by Chef Sperxos
If you love Greek food, this one’s for you. The Dish takes classic Greek-Mediterranean flavours and gives them a modern twist. You can enjoy dishes like Lamb Souvlaki, reimagined in a deconstructed way, or creamy Ted Prawn Orzo, making it perfect for lunch or dinner.
The Coffee Lab
Need a caffeinated pick-me-up? The Coffee Lab crafts the perfect cortado, coconut latte, or espresso — best enjoyed with a flaky pastry and paired with Culinara’s panoramic views.
Culinara also features an African + Eastern boutique for curated beverages, and Italtouch by TruffleManDubai, offering premium truffles, artisanal oils, cheese, and sustainable caviar.
Nobu is also set to take up residence at The Link by the end of the year. The globally renowned name in Japanese-Peruvian fine dining will soon join the sky-high culinary lineup, adding even more star power to Dubai’s latest dining destination.
