Dubai’s dining landscape is about to get a lot more exciting with the arrival of OAK, the city’s first and only Asian-inspired, woodfire restaurant and shisha lounge. Located in the heart of Jumeirah 3, Umm Suqeim 3, with stunning views of the iconic Burj Al Arab, OAK promises a one-of-a-kind experience that blends the best of Asian cuisine with the beloved tradition of shisha.
OAK’s menu showcases modern Asian dishes cooked on a special Japanese Bincho-tan charcoal grill and diverse range of flavours, from the umami-rich sauces of Japan to the bold spices of Thailand and the delicate balances of Chinese cooking, each Asian culinary tradition brings its own distinct palate of tastes. Ingredients like soy sauce, miso, ginger, lemongrass, and chili peppers are staples that contribute to the complexity and depth of Asian dishes. Signature dishes include the melt-in-your-mouth Charred Miso Chicken and the Japanese Wagyu Pastrami smoked with apple-wood. The restaurant’s open kitchen allows diners to watch as skilled chefs work their magic, creating a theatrical dining experience.
The venue’s design draws inspiration from nature, featuring elegant wood accents and subtle lighting that creates a cool and relaxed atmosphere. As night falls, OAK transforms into a lively spot with music from international DJs and eye-catching entertainment.
Complementing the dining experience is OAK’s premium shisha lounge. Offering a wide range of flavours in a stylish setting, from classic fruit blends to unique house specialties like the OAK Signature blend, there’s something for every shisha enthusiast. The lounge seamlessly integrates with the restaurant, allowing guests to enjoy their shisha in a sophisticated, Asian-inspired ambiance.
