Reif Othman hosts one-off dinner to mark UAE Golden Jubilee

Reif Japanese Kushiyaki’s 15-course menu will be paired with a selection of teas

Chef  and restaurateur Reif Othman, who was honoured with a UAE golden visa earlier this year, will host a one-off ticketed dinner on 6 December 2021 at the flagship Reif Japanese Kushiyaki in Dubai’s Dar Wasl to celebrate the UAE Golden Jubilee.

The celebration also marks a milestone in his 15-year culinary journey in the emirate. 

Guests will enjoy an unconventional Japanese menu showcasing 15 of his most iconic dishes, paired with Avantcha teas presented by tea sommelier Marina Rabei. 

Speaking about the event, Othman said: “I’m so grateful, given the challenges around the world, that we’ve had a successful year here in Dubai. We’re ending 2021 on a high note with a special one-off dinner to celebrate both the UAE Golden Jubilee and my 15-year journey.”
