The flavors of Beirut are set to land in Dubai with the opening of Em Sherif Deli this September. Known across Lebanon for its heartfelt approach to food and community, the deli is stepping into One Central at Dubai World Trade Centre with a promise to blend tradition, taste, and togetherness in a modern yet familiar space.
At its heart, Em Sherif Deli is about soulful food made with intention. Guests can savor everything from juicy chicken and beef shawarmas presented in a refined deli style, to colorful mezze plates, homemade desserts, and refreshing lemonades. For those leaning toward wellness, nutrient-packed juices and light bites cater to Dubai’s health-conscious crowd, without losing the richness of authentic Lebanese flavors.
The experience goes beyond the menu. A highlight of the new space is the Mouneh corner, a curated selection of jams, pickles, and spices that honor Lebanon’s pantry traditions. These artisanal touches bring a sense of home to the fast-paced city, offering locals and expats a taste of Lebanese heritage to take with them.
The interiors are designed to mirror the brand’s philosophy of balance, blending earthy tones, blonde wood, and sunlit windows with modern elegance. It’s a breezy, welcoming setting that feels equally right for a quick bite between meetings as it does for a lingering lunch with friends. With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a grab-and-go counter, Em Sherif Deli is tailored to Dubai’s lifestyle of convenience and style.
Executive Chef Yasmina Hayek captures the spirit best, saying, “We didn’t reinvent the wheel, we just refined it. At Em Sherif Deli, it’s about creating a space where people feel like they’re sharing a meal at home with their loved ones.”
Em Sherif Deli’s Dubai debut isn’t just a new restaurant opening, it’s a celebration of la vie Libanaise, a way of life where tradition, elegance, and community come together in every detail.
