New, easy and breezy for the summer
If you’ve been trying to book a table at KIRA in Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, here’s another reason to get excited. The acclaimed home-grown restaurant is expanding with the launch of Café KIRA, a brand-new neighbourhood cafe opening in Jumeirah later this year.
Designed as a more laid-back extension of the KIRA brand, Café KIRA promises the same attention to detail and refined aesthetic that made its sibling restaurant a favourite among Dubai’s dining crowd, but in a more casual setting built around everyday moments.
The new venue will feature an all-day cafe restaurant, an elegant bar and a spacious outdoor terrace, creating a space that effortlessly transitions from morning coffee and fresh pastries to leisurely lunches and relaxed evening drinks.
Expect warm, understated interiors inspired by the original KIRA, with natural materials, soft textures and muted tones creating an inviting atmosphere that’s sophisticated without feeling formal.
The menu will focus on freshly baked breads and pastries in the morning before evolving throughout the day, making it a spot you’ll want to return to whether you’re grabbing breakfast, meeting friends for lunch or winding down after work.
Since opening at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab in 2025, KIRA has quickly established itself as one of Dubai’s standout dining destinations. Created and operated by AlphaMind Group, the Japanese-Mediterranean restaurant has earned a loyal following for its elegant interiors, elevated cuisine and luxurious dining experience.
Now, Café KIRA aims to bring that same philosophy to a more accessible neighbourhood setting, offering guests a fresh way to experience the brand while maintaining its focus on craftsmanship, storytelling and thoughtful hospitality.
The cafe will open opposite H by Huna in Jumeirah, with further details, including the opening date and menu, expected to be announced in the coming months.
If you’re looking for a stylish new café to add to your list, this is one opening worth keeping an eye on.
