The dining scene in Mirdif City Centre just got a serious flavor injection. Leen’s, the popular homegrown destination known for its “Casual to Gourmet” approach, is shaking things up with a brand-new, exclusive menu: “Asian Favourites.” This selection of ten signature creations is a delicious exploration of culinary cross-pollination, specifically drawing inspiration from the incredible Nikkei cuisine, where the precise artistry of Japan meets the bold, fiery spirit of Peru. It’s a perfect example of the vibrant food fusion trend that savvy diners are craving.
Leen’s Founder, Claudio Leenders, recognizes that the best food connects people through shared passion and emotion. The new menu is a direct celebration of that connection, blending authenticity with innovation. As Leenders notes, “Asia and Latin America share a deep love for food cooked with emotion, from the smoky wok to the slow-cooked sauces, and this menu is our way of connecting those worlds through taste.”
The menu hits the sweet spot between comforting classics and intriguing new twists.
- For noodle lovers, the Beef Batayaki is a must-try: umami-rich Japanese butter noodles tossed with tender, slow-cooked beef.
- Embodying the fusion spirit is the Latin Chaufa Rice, a Peruvian fried rice featuring prawns and a burst of Latin spice and zest.

- Kung Pao Chicken: A timeless, bold favorite, reimagined the Leen’s way.
