SUPPER CLUBS SUPPER CLUBS

Moreish by K

Head chef and creator of Moreish by K, Kunwal Safdar, has become a well-known name in the Dubai food scene. From humble beginnings as a pandemic passion project, her supper club has become one of the city’s most talked-about. Like most of us, Kunwal became restless during the slow weeks of isolation back in March 2020, turning to curate a ‘hug in a box’ through her soup care packages. Overnight this became a sensation, sowing the seeds of her wonderful brand. Fast forward to 2023, and Kuwnal has fed over 10,000 people through her supper clubs, and collaborated with brands including XVA Gallery, 21 Grams and Dibba Bay. Inventive yet nostalgic, sophisticated yet wholesome, Moreish by K will never cease to amaze with her delicate harmony of flavours. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion, catch up with friends, or embark on a unique date night, this supper club couldn’t be better.

Girl and the Goose

What do you know about Nicaraguan food? Well, with Girl and the Goose, you’re about to learn a whole lot more, as chef Gabriela Grasser has a modern take on this exciting cuisine. Past menus have included organic sea bass ceviche and and aguachile, but the beauty is in the presentation, which will have you snapping pictures before sampling. If you’re looking for a more intimate experience, she also hosts nights for two to three diners. The dinner takes place in Dubai Marina, and spots are confirmed on a first come, first served basis. @girl.and.the.goose

Tano’s at 8

If you’re partial to a great paella, Dubai residents Sultan and Kinda Chatila’s supper club is the one for you. Called Tano’s at 8, the couple use fresh, seasonal ingredients to prepare their paellas, switching up their menu every six weeks. More than just paella though, the culinary connoisseurs have a hankering for burgers too, coming in third place for the best burger at the World Food Championships 2022. Off the back of that success, a permanent burger restaurant, Eleven Green, is set to open in Dubai this month.

Haus of Vo

Home is where the heart is at Haus of Vo, as the supper club is lovingly prepared by your host, Madame Vo. You are invited to her DIFC home with impressive views over Dubai and served a meal that draws on her Vietnamese-German roots. “I grew up in the kitchen. As the child of restauranteurs, cooking brings me closer to my parents and serves as a reminder to never forget our humble roots,” says the chef. The evening includes eight diners – nine if you count her dog, Bailey – and is a great way to make new friends or more, as there are even single’s nights. On our visit, the menu included multiple courses ranging from a bo kho (48-hour oxtail tomato stew) to steamed dumplings that you can help cook.

Kuv’s Secret Supper Club

Before other supper clubs in Dubai hopped on the gravy train, Kuv’s Secret Supper Club was one of the first in the city. While we know who Kuv is – an architect-turned-chef – the location is always a secret and only revealed 24 hours before the event. Previous meals have been wide-ranging and included a kofte tabrizi, Eton mess and dishes that pay homage to his Rajput heritage. There’s just one catch: it’s by invite only – but you can DM their Instagram page for a secret code.
