      Today, Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai paid a visit to one of the emirate’s most popular hotspots, SushiSamba.
      With not just one but two royal visits this year, this restaurant continues to stay on top of Dubai’s unending list of fine-dining havens this year. After Sheikh Hamdan visited the restaurant, Sheikh Mohammed who is regularly seen at the city’s various F&B spots followed to try the food out for himself today.
      The page even shared a photo on their Instagram of Sheikh Mohammed posing with the team and captioned it, “It was an honour to welcome HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for lunch today.”

      The venue is a must-visit for visitors and residents in the UAE with its glistening views of Dubai’s skyline and its multifaceted menu which seamlessly combines Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian influences. With evocative interiors and a tropical ambience, the restaurant brings an artful mix of culinary delights such as ceviche, tempura, Brazilian churrasco and more, making it a memorable experience for all, after already establishing itself in London and Las Vegas.

      Shortly after the restaurant opened and made a mark for itself in Dubai this year, Fazza thought it fit to host one of his most famous friends at the restaurant. The emirate’s Crown Prince was seen visiting the hotspot with famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo earlier this year and the restaurant’s team described it as an “honour” to welcome this Dubai royal and even shared a photo from his visit on their feed, as the duo enjoyed all the delectable dishes with the rest of the entourage.

      Exclusive: At home with Founder & Creative Director of ROMANI, Haya Jarrar

      Nothing excites us more than aesthetic interiors and clean spaces.
      One such home that stands out prominently is of entrepreneur Haya Jarrar. Known for her luxury fashion brand, Romani, she has made strides in every aspect of her career and she highlights this in every element of her home too.
      From muted hues to carefully curated furniture pieces, every corner is tailored to pay homage to her keen eye as a curator.
      For an exclusive peek, Emirates Woman shares all our most loved elements from Jarrar’s home.
      How long have you lived in this space?
      For almost two years.
      Did you have a clear concept from the outset, and which key pieces are your favourite?
      I knew exactly what I wanted from the start… the coffee tables I designed. I feel they are more like pieces of art.
      Have you custom-built any bespoke pieces?
      Coffee tables, the dining table, some of the stools around the house, and my bed and dresser have all been custom-built.
      How do you think your interior reflects you/your brand?
      The colours of the house are very neutral yet the design of the house is very bold which mirrors me as a person. And just like Romani (my clothing brand) every piece in the house is memorable and fun. Describe your taste in three words. Raw, daring and controversial.
