Backed by 7 Management, the Beirut-born brand expands its Dubai footprint with a villa-style concept on Al Wasl Road.
Em Sherif is preparing to open in Dubai in early 2026, marking the next chapter for one of the region’s most recognisable culinary names. Known for elevating Middle Eastern cuisine with luxurious flourishes and heartfelt hospitality, Em Sherif is bringing a fresh concept to HUNA Living on Al Wasl Road in Jumeirah. The address sits directly opposite HUNA Dubai, already home to high-profile dining rooms such as NAC and Cipriani, placing Em Sherif in the heart of one of the city’s most dynamic food destinations.
The new opening is backed by 7 Management, a group known for introducing premium lifestyle and dining experiences across the UAE. While design details remain under wraps, the brand’s existing venues offer a clear hint at what to expect. Em Sherif Cafe, Em Sherif Deli, and Em Sherif Sea Cafe are celebrated for settings that feel both sophisticated and intimate. Em Sherif is expected to follow suit with a warm, lived-in elegance that pairs polished service with a personal touch.
On the menu, guests can look forward to many of the signatures that have earned Em Sherif a loyal following across the GCC. Classic preparations like tabbouleh, hummus with pine nuts, and mloukhiye bel zeit will share the table with seafood dishes such as shrimp with red chilli sauce, alongside charcoal-kissed grills and the much-loved chicken msakhan. The brand has also signalled its intention to introduce exclusive dishes for the Dubai villa, creating new favourites while preserving the recipes diners return to time and again.
Originating in Beirut, Em Sherif has grown into a regional reference point for Middle Eastern fine dining. The arrival of Em Sherif will further cement that reputation in the UAE, offering a refined setting for long lunches, celebratory dinners, and everything in between. With its prime Jumeirah location, respected culinary heritage, and the support of 7 Management, the stage is set for a notable addition to Dubai’s dining scene in 2026.
