Orfali Bros
No.37 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
The Orfali Bros—Mohamad, Wassim, and Omar—have just landed the No. 37 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, and their restaurant in Dubai is a culinary phenomenon that refuses to be pinned down. Hailing from Aleppo, these brothers are redefining Middle Eastern cuisine by fearlessly blending Syrian staples with Asian ingredients and European techniques. Their menu is a genre-defying masterpiece that has food critics and diners alike scrambling for a reservation. With Mohamad at the helm as head chef and Wassim and Omar crafting desserts that are nothing short of revelatory, the Orfali Bros are a dark horse in the global culinary scene, proving that the future of fine dining is as bold as it is unexpected.
