GABA, M level - Marina Promenade - Dubai - UAE
per ticket
One-night collaborative dining experience by Chef Esteban and Chef Rita. A night where two chefs, two stories, and two worlds meet at one table and nothing tastes the way you expect. Colombian soul blends with Levantine brightness, Asian precision whispers through each plate, and the room fills with piano + atmosphere. It’s one night only, and honestly… it feels like the kind of dinner Dubai doesn’t get often.
For a single night in Dubai, Chef Rita and Chef Esteban step into the same kitchen to build a menu that’s less about fusion and more about dialogue, comfort vs. brightness, soul vs. spice, precision vs. instinct. It’s all contrast, harmony, and intention at the same time. Esteban brings Colombian warmth shaped by Asian and Latin American kitchens — flavors that travel far, but still taste like home. Rita brings Dubai-rooted Levantine cuisine, herbs, spice, citrus, and modern Middle Eastern ease. Together, they create something familiar enough to recognize, but new enough to surprise. (the rest stays as-is, no changes needed): The experience explores familiar flavors in unexpected formats. Middle Eastern elements meet Japanese and Latin touches without becoming fusion for fusion’s sake. Selected culinary themes: Levantine staples (hummus, labneh, grape leaves, muhammara, sumac) Latin comfort & street references (arepas, sharing plates, bold sauces) Asian techniques (silken tofu, tempura scallops, hojicha dashi, yuzu, miso) Signature highlights: Arepas & pita with Levantine spices Silken tofu dip with pistachio chimichurri & sumac Koji-marinated lamb with coriander-wasabi sauce Hamour with muhammara & hojicha dashi

The experience is a narrative journey designed to begin together. ✨ Be present. Our gatherings are intimate and communal; we invite you to be open and engaged toward your fellow guests. ✨ Allergies: Due to the complexity and focus on a single ingredient, Ōdē by Judy cannot cater to all allergies or dietary intolerances. Please check with the organizers before booking to confirm if accommodations can be made. ✨ Plan for traffic delays — Dubai traffic can be unpredictable; arrive early to avoid missing the opening course. ✨ Photography welcome — Capture the moment, but avoid flash and loud noises to maintain the evening’s ambiance.
