We’ve fallen in love with everything about this new Mediterranean restaurant at Wasl 51. Located next to the popular Portuguese restaurat Lana Lusa, it’s packed out at weekends but till feels like a hidden gem.
We head there for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and the moment we sit down on its big orange sofa surrounded by local artwork and stylish yet homely décor, we feel like we’ve stepped out of Dubai and into a cool European restaurant – the kind you’d stumble across on your travels.
Yava’s food mixes the flavours of 21 countries so there’s some really interesting and creative flavours on the menu. It’s a place to go with friends who like to feast and share.
