A New Chapter in Dubai’s Evolving Food Scene

Dubai’s dynamic culinary landscape welcomes a thoughtful new addition: OTHER, a contemporary dining destination now open in Dar Al Wasl. Created by The Food District, OTHER is built around a simple yet powerful idea — everyday moments deserve to feel a little more considered.

Designed as a space that shifts with the rhythm of the day, OTHER blends atmosphere, creativity, and intuitive cooking into one cohesive experience. It is not just a restaurant; it is a place shaped as much by design and flow as by flavor.

From Light-Filled Mornings to Atmospheric Evenings

By day, OTHER centers around artisanal pastries, specialty coffee, and crafted mocktails served in a relaxed, sunlit setting. The environment feels open and welcoming — ideal for casual meetings, solo pauses, or slow mornings.

As evening approaches, the space transforms into a more defined dining destination. Seasonal, fluid menus highlight a produce-led approach, with shared plates designed to bring people together around the table.

A Design Philosophy That Shapes the Experience

OTHER is the latest concept from The Food District, joining a growing portfolio of homegrown brands including Origami, Moon Slice, and DROP. Known for developing concepts from the inside out, The Food District places spatial flow, interior design, and atmosphere at the core of each project.

While every brand carries its own identity, they are united by a shared focus on craft, creativity, and authenticity.

Designed by VERHAAL, OTHER’s interior embodies this philosophy. Bold color moments are softened by tactile materials and layered textures, creating a space that feels expressive yet comfortable. Rather than chasing trends, the design prioritizes longevity — bright and airy in the morning, intimate and atmospheric by night. The result is a space that feels lived-in rather than staged.
