AKASA at Jumeirah

As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, fire pits glow and the open kitchen comes alive with the flames of the grill. Akasa offers a bold and creative flame-grilled dining experience, led by Chef Joan Achour, whose passion for Asian flavors and French techniques shines through every dish.

Inspired by her journey through Paris, the Maldives, Dubai, and Southeast Asia, Joan’s menu is a flavorful blend of cultures—bringing together the richness of Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Indonesian, and French cuisines. From pan-fried foie gras with dashi broth to Crying Tiger wagyu salad, the starters are a perfect mix of elegance and spice.

The mains showcase the best of land and sea—giant prawns, king crab, caramelized lamb cutlets, and perfectly grilled wagyu—all enhanced by specialty peppers and smoky flame-grill techniques. Vegetarian options are thoughtfully included, and desserts like the dramatic chocolate sphere provide a sweet and show-stopping finish.

Set in a stunning clifftop venue with panoramic views, glass walls, and a cozy terrace with fire pits and a cocktail bar, Akasa blends casual elegance with unforgettable flavor. Come for sunset drinks and stay for a dining experience under the stars.
