Two Dubai Restaurants Make the World's 50 Best List for 2025
With Trèsind Studio crowned Best in the Middle East and Orfali Bros Bistro making a triumphant return, Dubai's dining scene proves it's playing in the big leagues.
Jun 20, 2025
Dubai's culinary clout just climbed a little higher. The World's 50 Best Restaurants list for 2025 has landed, and two of the city's most talked-about dining spots have made the cut — cementing the Emirate's status as a serious gastronomic player.
At No.27, Trèsind Studio takes home the title of Best Restaurant in the Middle East, a well-earned accolade for chef Himanshu Saini and his immersive, boundary-pushing tasting menu. Now located on Palm Jumeirah, the 20-seat restaurant offers an intimate experience where diners move between curated spaces designed to mirror the narrative of the meal.
Meanwhile, Orfali Bros Bistro re-enters the list at No.37, bringing its playful, genre-bending menu back into the global spotlight. Helmed by the Orfali brothers from Aleppo — Mohamad, Wassim, and Omar — the family-run bistro blends traditional Syrian influences with Asian techniques and European flair, all served up in the heart of Dubai.
From theatrical fine dining to wildly creative comfort food, this year's rankings show that Dubai isn't just keeping pace with the world's best — it's helping define what comes next.

"NCIS: Tony and Ziva" Sets Premiere Date
Yara Sameh Paramount+ has set its official premiere date for " NCIS: Tony & Ziva ", the upcoming European-set NCIS spinoff series centered around two fan-favorite characters from "NCIS", Tony DiNozzo, played by Michael Weatherly, and Ziva David, portrayed by Cote de Pablo. The 10-episode spinoff series will debut on September 4 with its first three episodes, with one new episode dropping weekly thereafter until the finale in October 23. The series will debut on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Japan. The official description for the show reads: ''NCIS: Tony & Ziva' picks up after Ziva's (de Pablo) supposed death when Tony (Weatherly) left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris. Since then – and where we find them in the new show– Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali (Isla Gie), together. When Tony's security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.' Along with de Pablo, Weatherly, and Gie, the cast of the series includes Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Lara Rossi, Nassima Benchicou, Terence Maynard, Julian Ovenden, and James D'Arcy. John McNamara serves as executive producer and showrunner. Both Weatherly and de Pablo are executive producers in addition to starring.

Will Smith to Headline 2025 Mawazine Festival
Yara Sameh Will Smith is heading back to the stage—and this time, it's in Morocco. The iconic rapper and actor will perform on June 25 at the OLM Souissi stage during the 2025 edition of the Mawazine Festival, which runs from June 20 to June 28 and marks the start of his European tour. Mawazine is an international music festival that began in 2001 and is hosting its 20th edition this year. As one of the largest music festivals in the world, the event attracts more than 2.5 million attendees each year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Festival Mawazine (@mawazine) The gig marks a rare and highly anticipated return to music for the Hollywood star, who spent the last few decades focusing almost entirely on film. Before becoming a blockbuster fixture, Smith broke into the spotlight as half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. The pair became one of rap's early mainstream success stories, earning a Grammy for the wildly popular track 'Parents Just Don't Understand' and later cementing their legacy with the timeless summer anthem 'Summertime.' Smith eventually launched a solo career that produced global hits like 'Men in Black,' 'Wild Wild West,' and 'Gettin' Jiggy wit It,' elevating him to a level of pop culture fame few artists ever reach. His upcoming appearance at Mawazine is expected to be one of the festival's biggest highlights, drawing in longtime fans nostalgic for his 90s-era sound, as well as a new generation curious to see him return to his musical roots. The event is poised to deliver not just a performance but a cultural moment, bridging decades of influence in music and entertainment. Smith won't be the internationally renowned artist commanding the stage at this year's festival. Two days before his performance, on June 23, Kid Cudi is set to perform at the same venue. Headliners for this edition include renowned artists such as 50 Cent, Becky G, Salif Keita, Julian Marley, and the K-pop group aespa. Will Smith will perform on June 25 at the OLM Souissi stage, while Salif Keita, the Golden Voice of Mali, will deliver an emotive performance on June 27 at the Bouregreg stage. The festival also highlights African artists such as Yemi Alade, Cheikh Lô, Etuk Ubong, and ElGrandeToto, reflecting the continent's rich musical heritage. With over 90% of concerts offering free access, Mawazine continues to promote cultural openness and accessibility to music for all. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
