At Eugène Eugène, located within Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, guests break their fast with a refined spread of starters, hearty main courses, sides, and sweet desserts. The garden setting — lush and shaded — makes it one of the most relaxing iftar venues in Al Barsha.
Sharing the same neighbourhood, XU offers a Cantonese twist on Ramadan dining. The menu features crispy oriental salad, delicate dim sum, black pepper beef, and kung pao chicken — a distinctive choice for diners seeking something beyond traditional Arabic fare.
