Over the next few years, the brother-sister duo worked hard to create a restaurant that honoured their family’s legacy, but more importantly, one that treats its customers like family. “When I interview people for the restaurant, I tell them that Amin and I are welcoming them to be a part of our family,” she said. “We lead by example, and we make sure that our workers know that we are one single unit. That is probably why you will feel like you are being welcomed into our home when you come into our restaurant.”

Abu Dhabi, if you want cuisine fit for royalty, then put Belgrave on your radar. With restaurants in Dubai and London, the brand has opened in the capital. Priding itself on serving fine dining Persian cuisine, here’s what to expect from Belgrave Abu Dhabi.

Belgrave was first born in St John’s Wood, London, near where The Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover was shot. The concept was created by the siblings Amin and Honey Ebra. Amin is the head chef and co-owner, Honey is the co-owner. The pair have drawn inspiration from their family’s love of food, as their grandfather was once the head chef to a Persian royal family.

Ahead of the Global Village reopening on Tuesday October 25, the family-friendly Dubai attraction has announced the addition of more than 100 new restaurants, cafés, kiosks and street food options.

In total, there will be more than 200 food options on site, with plenty of old favourites returning to join the new names.

There are also new venues planned for Restaurant Alley. Belgrave from chef Armin Ebra will offer modern Persian food, Shobak is a home grown Saudi Arabian restaurant famed for its hot pies, while Turkey’s Doyuyo will capitalise on Dubai’s love of fried chicken.

Belgrave Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s only three ‘Belgrave’ restaurants, is reimagining the exotic flavours of Persian hospitality by crafting distinctive amalgams of Eastern and Western cuisines. From London to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Belgrave AD is reigniting guests’ appreciation for rich Persian tastes. The London-born restaurant is truly levelling up the art of Persian hospitality, known across the globe for its warm welcomes.

One of three Belgrave restaurants around the world can be found in the capital offering up a taste of the exotic flavours of Persia. The opulent decor from the ornate chandelier to the velvet seating, marble flooring, and Persian rugs sing sophistication. The menu can be paired with an equally impressive range of beverages.

There was one thing that Amin and Honey Ebra were very sure of before starting Belgrave, a Persian restaurant—it would not have kebabs. As the grandchildren of the head chef of the Persian monarchy, the brother-sister duo had always been passionate about their cuisine and wanted to serve Persian food beyond kebabs.
“There is so much character and flavour to Persian cuisine. But every Iranian or Persian cuisine place was focused on kebabs,” says Amin.

For those in Abu Dhabi, an indulgent treat awaits you at Belgrave. Relish Persian flavours and hospitality from the London-born restaurant at the UAE capital with an ‘All You Can Eat’ offer at an exciting price point. You will love the distinctive amalgamation of delicious Eastern cuisines with a Western twist.

The Iftar feast will begin with a hearty special soup of the day. This is followed by a choice of unlimited main course, a basket of mixed herbs and bread, and a choice of either salad Shirazi or mast kheer. Entrees include rich and succulent lamb koobideh grilled to perfection and containing a wonderful balance of spices and herbs, served with aromatic rice.
