A Real Greek Taverna on Dubai’s Shores

To create the most authentic Greek restaurant in Dubai, we had to go back to the source.
So we sent our chef, Faisal Albaradie — whose grandmother is Greek — deep into the winding alleys of Athens. He wandered without a map, followed the scent of grilled lamb and the clatter of cutlery in hidden courtyards, until he stepped into a tiny neighborhood taverna where time seemed to stand still.

That moment became Bakalis.

Every detail, from the two open-fire grills fueled by olive wood to the simplicity of the seasoning, brings that memory to life.

The wood crackles, the flames kiss the iron grill, and the ingredients speak for themselves.

Pure, honest, soulful.

Bakalis is more than a restaurant. It’s a barefoot Greek escape on the edge of the sea.
With toes in the sand, skyline views, and carafes of rosé flowing freely; it’s a place where romantic dinners glow softly and family stories stretch into the night.
The food is simple. The feeling is forever.
And the fire? It never goes out.
