In celebration of its strategic partnership of the ongoing Dubai Food Festival, Emirates has collaborated with friend of the festival and celebrity chef, Silvena Rowe, to create a signature menu for its six airport lounges in Dubai.
Emirates' premium customers can experience a customised menu of chef Silvena's distinctive modern Emirati cuisine.
Heavily influenced by traditional Arabic-Emirati cooking and by modern haute cuisine, Chef Silvena's innovative approach to cooking will resonate with Emirates' global customer. In Dubai's three First Class lounges, customers can choose from an a la carte menu comprising some of Chef Silvena's most popular dishes including an appetiser of seared prawns with warm sumac vinaigrette, hammour shawarma tawook, grilled succulent cubes of locally caught hammour marinated in shawarma spices as well as a 12-hour lamb, slow cooked and pulled with golden Emirati bezar spice blend as main course options, and a dessert of passion fruit curd and mascarpone. As a buffet selection in both Business Class and First Class Lounges, customers can enjoy roasted free-range chicken with sumac and za'atar, and a pomegranate glaze.
On an average day, Emirates lounges expect to serve upwards of 1,350 portions of Chef Silvena's dishes to their customers between their Business Class and First Class lounges. The new dishes will be adding unique new flavours to an already diverse menu that on its own, includes over 150 different meal offerings from different international cuisines. Chef Silvena's dishes will be served through the remainder of the Dubai Food Festival, until the 28th of February.
