The kind of chef who puts love into every dish and always looks out for the people around him. He’s super kind but got a strong personality—you’ll feel the good vibes, but you’ll also know he means business.

That barista who’s got you laughin’ before you even take a sip, always throwin’ jokes like they’re part of the brew. Smooth with the coffee and sweeter than any love song, he’s got a heart as big as his charm, servin’ up both caffeine and good vibes.

A restaurant that makes me want to try all the dishes. Creative cuisine, pleasant restaurant atmosphere, highly recommended. The staff are handsome guys! They are very friendly. You can feel their love for the restaurant. It has the potential to become a Michelin restaurant. Must-visit for pan-Asian and Filipino cuisine lovers in Dubai.
