What does a home-cooked Emirati meal feel like when plated by an award-winning chef with generations of stories folded into every bite? At Kashtat Amina, that question is answered with generosity, culture, and unmistakable warmth.

Opening its doors at East Boulevard in Aljada, Kashtat Amina is a new dining destination created by celebrated Emirati chef Mariam Almansoori in collaboration with master developer Arada. The concept is deeply personal: named after Chef Mariam’s mother, the restaurant is a tribute to the hospitality, heart, and history of Emirati women, brought to life through food that comforts and connects.

This isn’t just a place to eat. It’s where memory meets mastery.

From slow-cooked Beetroot Harees to airy Balaleet, the menu spotlights Emirati classics—each dish inspired by family traditions and served in a space designed to reflect the spirit of a home kitchen, elevated for today’s Sharjah diner. Locally sourced ingredients are a pillar of the concept, with 70% of the produce coming from UAE farms via Arada’s Manbat initiative. That’s not just freshness; it’s food with purpose.

Key experiences at Kashtat Amina include:

  • Signature Emirati brunches on weekends, curated with heart and heritage
  • Locally farmed produce, reinforcing sustainability and regional pride
  • Dishes like Madrooba, Luqaimat, and Mastic Um Ali, reimagined with contemporary flair
  • Handcrafted tableware and warm hospitality, making every guest feel at home

“Kashtat Amina is a love letter to my mother and to every Emirati woman whose spirit is passed down through food,” shares Chef Mariam. “It’s not just about the dishes, it’s about the stories they carry.”

Arada’s COO Amit Arora adds, “This is more than a restaurant. It’s a celebration of community, culture, and creativity. We’re proud to welcome this homegrown concept to East Boulevard.”

With its fusion of nostalgia, storytelling, and modern culinary finesse, Kashtat Amina stands as a new pillar in Sharjah’s expanding dining scene—rooted in tradition, yet designed for today.
