For one night only
Dubai’s dining scene is set for a fiery shake-up as two of the region’s most daring chefs — Chef Kuv and Chef Akmal Anuar — unite for a one-night-only culinary experience titled ‘Origins & Memories’. Taking place on 19 November at Harummanis, Wasl 51, the event promises an evening where nostalgia, innovation, and pure creative rebellion collide on the plate.
Chefs Kuv and Chef Akmal Anuar, each known for pushing the limits of flavour and storytelling, will come together to craft an 8-course menu rooted in memory, shaped by risk, and elevated through reinvention.

Chef Kuv, the underground dining maverick behind the beloved Kuv’s Secret Supper Club, brings bold narrative-driven cuisine, while Chef Akmal, celebrated for his precision and mastery in some of Dubai’s most iconic kitchens like Goldfish, Harummanis, Otoro, Funkoolio and more, adds finesse and technical brilliance. Together, they promise a dining experience that blurs the lines between comfort and craft, chaos and control.

The menu, priced at AED 415 per person, is designed as a sensory odyssey tracing the chefs’ origins — from nostalgic street eats and coastal flavours to dishes born from MICHELIN-starred foundations. Expect cheeky reinterpretations, playful twists, and courses that leave diners wondering what just unfolded on their palate.

It’s not simply dinner; it’s an immersive narrative where every plate tells a personal tale of fire, flavour, and the formative experiences that shaped both chefs.
Hosted at Harummanis in Wasl 51, Jumeirah 1, ‘Origins & Memories’ is poised to be one of Dubai’s standout gastronomic moments of the season — an evening where spice and smoke flirt with finesse, and where two culinary rebels invite diners into the most intimate corners of their craft.
Whether you’re after innovation, nostalgia, or simply a great story told through food, this is one dining experience you won’t want to miss.
