Orfali Bros, founded by brothers Mohamad, Wassim and Omar Orfali, reopened in January 2026 after a three-month renovation with a sharper focus and a new fermentation lab. Its tasting menu reflects that evolution, balancing heritage dishes with more experimental plates shaped by ageing, curing and fermentation. After topping the MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants list for three consecutive years (2023–2025), it ranked No. 4 in 2026, cementing its place as one of the region’s most influential homegrown restaurants.
