<p><em><strong>Alaya is Evgeny Kuzin and Chef Izu&rsquo;s homage to the region.</strong></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The unique <strong>new DIFC restaurant</strong> celebrates the vibrant cuisine of the Mediterranean, featuring <strong>Middle Eastern</strong> influences. Born from<strong> Evgeny Kuzin</strong> and <strong>Chef Izu</strong>&rsquo;s extensive travels and encounters across the Middle East, <strong>Alaya Restaurant Dubai</strong> pays tribute to the richness and beauty of the region.</p>

<p><em>THE MENU: WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE NEW DIFC RESTAURANT? Keep reading...</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Beyond taking each and every guest on a sensorial adventure, <strong>Chef Izu</strong>&rsquo;s menu at the <strong>new DIFC restaurant</strong> aims to encapsulate the generosity and care the Middle East region is well known for. Each dish has been designed to create meaningful experiences with carefully selected ingredients and rigorous cooking methods used to combine traditions with a contemporary approach.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All the <strong>Alaya Dubai</strong>'s dishes call on the magic of fresh herbs and spices, prime meat and seafood; many different kinds of nuts including pine, pistachio, almond and sesame; as well as freekeh, pulses, and plenty of squeezes of lemon, whose presence in middle eastern&nbsp;and Mediterranean cuisine is required as much as sunlight. Spices such as cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, nutmeg, cardamom or the lemony flavours of sumac also all leave their distinctive signatures.</p>
