- OTHER brings a fresh contemporary dining concept to Dar Al Wasl.

Dubai’s culinary map just gained a soulful new coordinates in the heart of Dar Al Wasl. OTHER, a design-led concept crafted for those who appreciate considered everyday moments, has officially opened its doors. This isn’t just another restaurant, it is a versatile sanctuary that mirrors the city’s shift toward high-quality, homegrown spaces that feel personal rather than corporate.
Modern diners are increasingly looking for “clean beauty” in their surroundings, opting for environments that feel grounded and authentic. Much like the eco-friendly movement in fashion, the team behind OTHER has prioritized tactile materials and soft textures to create a lived-in atmosphere. By moving away from staged perfection, the interior design by VERHAAL allows the space to breathe, making it just as suitable for a morning caffeine fix as it is for a sophisticated evening gathering.
The menu reflects a produce-led, intuitive philosophy that prizes simplicity elevated through extreme detail. During the day, the focus remains on specialty coffee, mocktails, and delicate pastries. However, as the sun sets, the energy shifts toward a defined dining experience featuring shared plates. Guests can explore a range of bold flavors, from the hearty OTHER Wagyu Beef Burger to the playful contrast of the Hotdog and Caviar Sandwich. Each dish is a testament to honest cooking without the clutter of overly complicated techniques.
Founder of The Food District, Mahmood Al Khamis, believes this concept fills a specific void in the local landscape. He wanted to build a place that feels good the moment you step in, without trying too hard to be trendy. This reflects a commitment to bold innovation by focusing on the spirit of the space as much as the food itself. It is a destination for those who seek creativity and craft in every bite and every corner.
Whether you are a neighbor or a traveler seeking a fresh perspective, this new opening invites you to slow down and enjoy a more considered way of eating. Experience the authentic ease of Dar Al Wasl’s latest homegrown gem this week!
