Head Chef & Co-Owner,
Orfali Bros
Three brothers making their own path and rules in the culinary world. Originally from Syria, Mohammad, Wassim and Omar Orfali now live in Dubai where they opened Orfali Bros, a modern bistro influenced by their travels, love of art and food experiences all over the world. Orfali Bros has captured the imagination of Dubai’s multi-cultural residents as well as food-loving visitors from across the globe, and is crowned with the coveted title of The Best Restaurant in the Middle East & North Africa for three consecutive years in 2023, 2024 and 2025, awarded so by the MENA region of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants List, less than two years after opening. Orfali Bros has received recognition on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for four consecutive years. The two-storey restaurant’s backbone is an open test kitchen where Mohammad and his team create magic. On the second floor, the two youngest brothers, Wassim and Omar present a colourful desserts display, another part of their signature Bistronomy idea with which they also received a very first Michelin Star on the new Michelin guide for Dubai. Orfali Bros becomes the first Bib Gourmand to be promoted to one Michelin star, proving the development of three brothers' skill in crafting bold and balanced flavours across their globally influenced dishes. In 2024, the Orfali Bros received significant recognition at The Best Chef Awards. They were honored with the special “Best Chef Origins & Future” award, highlighting their impact on culinary evolution. Additionally, they achieved a “World Class” status with a 2 Knives distinction, underscoring their exceptional contributions and culinary innovation on a global gastronomic stage. “At Orfali Bros, everyday is a celebration of our journey and experiences, sprinkled with contemporary ideas served to you in our distinctive way. We are not just chefs, we are a family.”
