Onda in Dubai: New café brings good vibes and great bites

Nestled in Canal House, this trendy new spot is bound to become all the rage.

Dubai’s cafe scene is ever-evolving and now, it welcomes a fresh addition — Onda. Located in Canal House on Al Wasl Road — just a stone’s throw away from the popular Dar Wasl, Onda Dubai is a cosy cafe that’s making waves for all the right reasons.

Firstly, let’s talk about the name – Onda. In various languages, onda could mean different things, but here, it reflects the Spanish slang, which translates to ‘vibes’. And let’s just say, the cafe definitely delivers on that front. Their motto, ‘munch, gulp, and onda,’ is a clear invitation to enjoy scrumptious food and drinks, and soak in the positive vibes.

Onda Dubai boasts maroon leather seating, sleek coffee tables, and an overall minimalistic yet inviting vibe. The furniture is arranged to encourage mingling and sharing stories. The sheer multicoloured curtains add a right touch of retro charm, making Onda stand out from the rest. It’s like stepping into your own cosy lounge.

Now that the vibe part is covered, let’s move on to the munch and gulp bits. Onda has something for everyone — be it a healthy snack or an indulgent treat. From avocado toasts and fresh salads to truffle burgers and Wagyu steak sandwiches — which we hear is a favourite — your taste buds are in for a treat. You can also sip on smoothies, coffees and creative mocktails to compliment your meal.

To balance the healthy menu items, Onda also serves delightful desserts. The likes of French toast, macadamia balls, and a whole array of innovative sweets await those with a sweet tooth.

So whether you’re looking for a quick caffeine fix or just a cosy spot to unwind at with friends, Onda Dubai is the place to be for good vibes and great eats.
