Plates that tell stories, flavours that surprise, and a vibe that pulses with energy, that’s what’s cooking at Antika this summer. Nestled at the 25hours Hotel Dubai, this Oriental-inspired hotspot is rewriting the Levantine dining rulebook with a vibrant menu and live entertainment that keeps the energy sky-high.
Antika isn’t just serving nostalgia. It’s reworking it with flair. With Chef Louay Noureddine leading the kitchen, this place doesn’t play safe, it plays bold. His decades of culinary experience show up in dishes that feel rooted yet entirely new. Take The Cedar Bao, where chicken shawarma meets sumac aioli inside a fluffy bao, or the Beirut Buns, Lebanese Wagyu sliders with tangy pickles and smoky BBQ sauce.
Health-conscious but don’t want boring? The Lebanese Glow brings quinoa, goji berries, and dried fruit together in a salad that doesn’t feel like punishment. And when it comes to mains, think Wagyu beef skewers kissed with tahini and grain mustard, or a grilled lobster that stuns with a ponzu mustard sauce.
Dessert isn’t an afterthought here, it’s a spectacle. The Ashta Ice Cream Roll takes halawat al jeben to a decadent level with salted caramel and pistachios. The Kunafa is everything it should be: crisp, golden, sticky, and just sweet enough. Want a taste of everything? The Antika Deluxe Platter serves a trio of hits, made to share, fight over, or keep all to yourself.
After dark, Antika leans into its nightlife vibe with the Midnight Cravings menu. Highlights include the Thyme Traveler, a zaatar-loaded saj, and Back to the Baladi, layered with Lebanese keshak and tomato paste. Sweet tooth acting up? The Sinner brings Nutella, banana, and strawberries together for a saj you’ll dream about.
Antika’s summer drop is more than just dinner, it’s a full-blown mood. With creative plates, nostalgic hits reimagined, and entertainment that keeps the vibe electric, this is where Dubai goes when it wants Levantine food with a fearless twist. Book your table or stay late. Either way, it’s a story worth tasting!
