Savouring refined international flavours in a serene villa setting at The Grey, Al Khawaneej
The Grey Al Khawaneej is regarded as one of Dubai’s most thoughtfully designed lifestyle dining destinations, nestled within a charming villa in the serene Al Khawaneej neighbourhood. Operated under MAD Hospitality and positioned as an ambitious cultural platform, The Grey is conceived as the space where coffee, cuisine, design and creative community are brought together under one roof. The Al Khawaneej branch is vast and more expansive one of the Grey’s two Dubai locations. The other branch is the original one, located at Al Wasl. The Grey Al Khawaneej, Longue & Restaurant is widely appreciated for its noticeably greater space, unhurried pace and calming atmosphere. Dubai Creek Harbour and Al Khawaneej Park are located in close proximity, making the restaurant a natural stop for those exploring the quieter, greener corners of Dubai. The Grey Al Khawaneej Longue and Restaurant carries a Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on nearly 7,000 reviews, reflecting the brand’s consistent quality across locations.
The interiors at The Grey Al Khawaneej are styled in a soothing minimalist aesthetic, with muted shades of grey, organic materials, clean architectural lines and an open, airy layout that encourages guests to linger. Natural light is drawn in generously throughout the space and the outdoor seating area is particularly beloved for its calm, garden alike setting. The atmosphere is deliberately unhurried, designed to evoke the sensation of time passing differently, a philosophy that runs through every element of the brand from its interior to its menu.
A carefully crafted menu of refined international cuisine is offered across all day dining, drawing together Asian, European and signature well dishes. Breakfast is served with offerings such as Acai Bowls with coconut Granola and Summer Berries, Almond Chia Pudding with Mango sauce and crushed hazelnuts, French toast soaked in cinnamon milk with whipped caramel and toffee sauce and a savoury egg dish, prepared with care. After healthy breakfast options, the next phrase is for the lunch, followed by dinner. The lunch and dinner menu features Wagyu Beef Burger with Truffle Aiol and cheddar, a Chicken Peanut salad with crispy wonton and red cabbage, a charred cabbage and Broccolini Bowl with Furikake and charred lemon vinaigrette and a pickled tomato and green apple salad with goma dressing and crispy rice paper.
A dedicated Tea ritual menu is also added in the courses, alongside special coffee recipes crafted from single origin beans using unique brewing methods, handcrafted matcha beverages and a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options across both food and drinks menu. The restaurant’s signature dish Mochi ice creams in Mandarin, Pistachio and Date are served as a sweet ending. The dessert is a must try item on the menu.
