Two Dubai Restaurants Make the World’s 50 Best List for 2025

Dubai’s culinary clout just climbed a little higher. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for 2025 has landed, and two of the city’s most talked-about dining spots have made the cut — cementing the Emirate’s status as a serious gastronomic player.

At No.27, Trèsind Studio takes home the title of Best Restaurant in the Middle East, a well-earned accolade for chef Himanshu Saini and his immersive, boundary-pushing tasting menu. Now located on Palm Jumeirah, the 20-seat restaurant offers an intimate experience where diners move between curated spaces designed to mirror the narrative of the meal.

Meanwhile, Orfali Bros Bistro re-enters the list at No.37, bringing its playful, genre-bending menu back into the global spotlight. Helmed by the Orfali brothers from Aleppo — Mohamad, Wassim, and Omar — the family-run bistro blends traditional Syrian influences with Asian techniques and European flair, all served up in the heart of Dubai.

From theatrical fine dining to wildly creative comfort food, this year’s rankings show that Dubai isn’t just keeping pace with the world’s best — it’s helping define what comes next.
