Dubai, United Arab Emirates – December 2025: Jumeirah Zabeel Saray has officially relaunched Arcadia by Amala, an intimate and elegantly curated culinary sanctuary offering a renewed interpretation of the Indian tasting table.
Opening its doors on Monday, 1 December 2025, the restaurant returns with a refined vision under the leadership of Chef de Cuisine Pravish Shetty, who brings two decades of experience shaped under the mentorship of Michelin-starred Chef Vineet Bhatia.
Celebrated for its 11-course seasonal tasting menu, Arcadia by Amala reintroduces its signature omakase-style, chef’s-choice Indian tasting menu– a unique culinary journey that blends traditional Indian flavours with contemporary techniques. Each course presents a thoughtful exploration of India’s diverse regional cuisines, brought to life through refined craftmanship and vibrant spice profiles.
Guided by Chef de Cuisine Pravish Shetty’s two decades of culinary experience; the menu draws inspiration from the dishes and regional cooking traditions he has encountered throughout his career. The result is a culinary journey that honours grassroots Indian flavours while reinterpreting them through a modern, globally attuned palate.
The restaurant’s atmosphere evokes a sense of calm and escapism, defined by earthy aromas, soft golden lighting, and the gentle crackle of the tandoor. Its elevated farm-to-table philosophy is supported by fresh produce sourced directly from Jumeirah Zabeel Saray’s on-site hydroponic farm, reinforcing the resort’s commitment to eco-conscious, future-forward dining.
Thoughtfully designed tableware inspired by nature and Eastern artistic motifs – from watercolour patterns to seashell detailing and oceanic-hued ceramics – enhances the sensory experience. Every element reflects Jumeirah Zabeel Saray’s dedication to elegance, craftmanship, and storytelling.
A hallmark of the dining journey is Chef Pravish’s personal interaction with guests, offering insight into the culinary philosophies and heritage behind each dish. The experience concludes with The Atlas of Arcadia, a thoughtful giftbox containing a menu guide, spiced rice pudding, and a curated QR code for a Spotify playlist, extending the journey beyond the restaurant.
