OPEN TENT at Alserkal Avenue is back!
The Japanese inspired Arabic iftar and dinner nights are brought to you by CHI-KA; a kimono shop and art space based in Alserkal Avenue, in collaboration with branding think tank The Lettuce Lab.
This year Alserkal has teamed up with Swiss-born chef Michael Fessler, known for his creativity and international “savoir faire”, to create a stimulating culinary menu that brings together Japanese and Middle-Eastern cuisine with an out-of-the-box twist. Live cooking stations for 'a la minute' dishes will be complemented with a self-serving buffet.
Kava & Chai cafe and coffee house also joins OPEN TENT, in a relaxed setting surrounded by minimalist decor, creative interventions, bonsai gardens, conversation tables, calligraphy murals and live oud nights.
A word from the Chef:
‘Fusion food can quickly turn into confusion…
So I have decided to approach ‘fusion’ a little differently. The idea is to take known Japanese dishes and their aesthetic, reworking them with classical middle-eastern flavor.
It’s still an Iftar that we are bringing you – taking what’s essential in food - pleasure, sharing and journey.
This unique Japanese Iftar structure will surprise your pallet reinventing Arabic flavors in a new and exclusive version never done before.'
Expressing universal values of cultural tolerance, compassion and community building, OPEN TENT is a welcoming space, bringing together families and friends of all ages from around the world.
On mezzanine level, a coffee shop installation with board games will offer a complementary selection of drinks, coffees and desserts.
Next to OPEN TENT, an artistically imagined prayer room (W61) will showcase masterful carpets, while a series of post-Iftar activities will be held throughout the Avenue.
The team at OPEN TENT and its collaborators look forward to sharing this precious experience with you.
