Soul Kitchen: A fusion of Levantine and Latin American delights hits Dubai's dining scene

 

 

Dubai's culinary landscape just got richer with the unveiling of "Soul Kitchen" in the bustling hub of Business Bay.

 

This vibrant eatery promises a fusion of Levantine and Latin American flavors, offering patrons an unforgettable dining experience.

 

 

Drawing inspiration from the rich history of the Arab diaspora that found its way to Latin America in the 19th century, Soul Kitchen pays homage to the cultural exchange that occurred through migration.

 

From Buenos Aires to Mexico City, Levantine cuisine left its indelible mark, blending seamlessly with local ingredients to create new culinary masterpieces.

 

 

At the heart of Soul Kitchen's menu lies a celebration of this culinary fusion. Dishes like the Sheri Fish Crudo, infused with tabbouleh water and accompanied by jicama crudité, and the Grilled Calamari marinated with achiote, showcase the marriage of Levantine and Latin American flavors. Vegan options like the Lychee Ceviche and Mushroom Kebab ensure there's something for every palate.

 

Executive Chef Margarita Vaamonde explains, "These two cultures possess an untold story that intertwines history, pride, and a deep passion for food."

 

 

To complement the exquisite fare, Soul Kitchen offers a carefully curated selection of wines and cocktails crafted by renowned mixologist Jaco Raath. Signature drinks like the Arak-Lychee Bellini and Rum-Mango Ice Tea infused with cardamom and clarified mate tantalize the taste buds with their unique blend of flavors.

 

Soul Kitchen is the brainchild of Factory People, a leading experiential group in the MENA region known for its innovative concepts that leave a lasting impression. With iconic venues like 'The Grand Factory' and 'AHM' in Beirut under their belt, Factory People aims to introduce Dubai to a multi-room experience that celebrates regional alternative culture, art, and talent.

 

 

This opening marks the beginning of an exciting journey for Soul Kitchen and Factory People in the UAE, with plans to immerse the local community in the vibrant and thriving scene of alternative dining and entertainment.

 

For those seeking a culinary adventure that transcends borders, Soul Kitchen promises an experience that nourishes both the body and the soul.
