The name “Sufret Alaya” was chosen to encapsulate the spirit of togetherness that defines Ramadan. Derived from the Arabic word sufra, meaning the dining table that gathers everyone around, “Sufret Alaya” signifies ALAYA’s aim to bring people closer during this sacred season. True to its name, ALAYA offers a warm and inviting setting where guests can share in the joy of connection and community while celebrating the cherished traditions of Ramadan.
At this enchanting venue, the interiors echo the rich heritage of the Middle East and Mediterranean, and guests are greeted by ornate décor that embodies the spirit of Ramadan.

ALAYA’s expansive terraces – Saraya and Azhar – offer a serene al fresco setting, perfect for enjoying Dubai’s breezy evenings during this sacred time.
The talented chefs have prepared a menu filled with enticing dishes, each bursting with flavour and presented with finesse. Accompanied by complimentary water to ensure you stay hydrated post-fast, the journey of discovery begins with a refreshing glass of laban Aryan and an array of delectable starters, including dates and comforting lentil soup, followed by cold appetisers like creamy hummus, baba ghanoush, grape leaves dolma, and fattoush salad. The hot starters that follow, such as shish kofte, beef sambousek, spinach fatayer, beef kibbeh, and cheese sambousek, further offer a taste of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.
For the main course, guests can indulge in succulent lamb shank or perfectly grilled shish chicken, both served with fragrant maqluba rice, ensuring each bite is a masterpiece of flavour.
