The weekend rhythm in the city is shifting away from the frantic pace of traditional buffets toward something far more soulful. Saturday lunch Dubai enthusiasts are currently chasing the slow living trend where the quality of the company is just as important as the quality of the olive oil. Avli by tashas is tapping into this craving with The Med Set. It is an experience that mirrors the open air courtyards of Athens right in the heart of the DIFC social circle.
At its core, this is a celebration of the avli, or the courtyard, where lunch is never just a meal. It is a curated afternoon that prioritizes connection. The menu is built for abundance. It begins with unlimited Greek dips like creamy tzatziki and roasted pepper tirokafteri. These are followed by mezedes that encourage communal dining. You can expect tuna carpaccio with preserved lemon and crispy feta saganaki drizzled with honey. Every plate is designed to be passed around the table. It feels authentic.

As the afternoon stretches on, the energy in the room begins to pivot. This is one of the best weekend lunch options for those who want their meal to evolve into a party. While you tuck into mains like slow roasted lamb or chicken kontosouvli, the tempo of the music by Vasileios starts to rise. The transition is subtle but intentional. By the time the sokolatopita dessert arrives, the relaxed lunch has become a high energy social event. It is a seamless flow.
The pricing structure caters to every type of Saturday mood. The non-alcoholic package is set at AED 295. Those looking for house pouring options can join for AED 395, while the premium champagne package is AED 595. For a more indulgent afternoon, signature extras like lobster pasta or rib eye on the bone are available to order. The experience is polished yet raw. It avoids the typical corporate feel of many nearby venues.
The afternoon does not have to end when the plates are cleared. The Med Set is designed to lead you straight into the evening at the neighboring Galaxy Bar. It is a complete Mediterranean moment. Book your table for the next Saturday ritual. Your social life will thank you!
