Antika, one of the region’s most celebrated Levantine dining and entertainment destinations, is turning up the heat this summer with the relaunch of its beloved brunch in a refreshed and reimagined format. Now set within its stylish new home at 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central, the Antika Brunch invites guests every Saturday from 2 PM to 6 PM for an afternoon that blends authentic Levantine flavours with live performances and a vibrant social atmosphere.
Known for its nostalgic charm and high-energy gatherings, Antika has redefined the Dubai brunch scene by offering more than just a meal — it’s an experience steeped in culture and creativity. This next chapter sees the brunch concept elevated with thoughtful enhancements, from the food presentation to the entertainment lineup, ensuring every visit feels like both a warm return and an exciting discovery.
The culinary journey begins with an impressive selection of hot and cold mezze, celebrating the rich traditions of Levantine dining. Guests can indulge in freshly prepared hummus, creamy labneh, smoky baba ghanoush, and vibrant tabbouleh before moving on to signature Nayyeh dishes featuring delicately seasoned raw meats and seafood. The focus on freshness and quality sets the tone for a menu that is both rooted in tradition and alive with contemporary flair.
Hearty mains follow, with sizzling grilled meats, perfectly cooked seafood, and aromatic rice dishes taking centre stage. Each plate is prepared with Antika’s trademark attention to flavour and authenticity, offering a taste of the Levant that is both comforting and indulgent. The meal concludes with decadent desserts such as kunafeh — a sweet, cheesy delight drenched in syrup — and Astha ice cream rolls that bring a playful twist to the finale.
While the food is a highlight, the entertainment is what transforms the brunch into an immersive cultural event. Guests are treated to a dynamic lineup that includes belly dancers, dabkeh performances, live singers, and a resident DJ who keeps the energy high from start to finish. The seamless flow from relaxed dining to spirited celebration ensures that every moment feels vibrant and connected.
Antika’s new brunch packages cater to different preferences, with a Non-Alcoholic option at AED 320, a Regular package including Arak and spirits at AED 450, and a Premium package featuring prosecco, beer, Arak, and spirits at AED 495. Each package delivers value through exceptional food, drink, and entertainment, making it a standout choice for weekend plans.
The venue itself adds to the appeal, with rich interiors, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that draws guests into its world of Levantine hospitality. From intimate indoor seating to a central stage for performances, every detail has been crafted to create an engaging, memorable setting.
As one of Dubai’s most sought-after weekend destinations, the Antika Brunch is expected to book out quickly. Advance reservations are strongly recommended to secure a table for this unique blend of flavours, music, and movement.
With its reimagined approach, Antika proves once again why it holds a special place in the city’s dining and entertainment landscape. It’s more than a brunch — it’s a celebration of Levantine culture brought to life in the heart of Dubai, offering guests a chance to eat, dance, and connect in true Antika style.
