The Exterior

The exterior of JIAH Kitchen presents a distinctive Middle Eastern-inspired identity, combining a contemporary commercial façade with warm tones and geometric decorative elements. The design establishes a welcoming presence while incorporating the restaurant’s Arabic character, creating a recognizable visual identity that carries through to the interior.

The Mezzanine

The mezzanine serves as an additional dining area featuring Majlis-inspired seating, designed to provide guests with a more immersive Arabic dining experience. The use of low, comfortable sofas, warm gold accents, intricate geometric patterns, and decorative screens creates a more intimate and culturally inspired atmosphere. Positioned above the main dining area, the mezzanine offers a distinct setting where guests can relax and experience the traditional character of an Arabic Majlis while maintaining the contemporary design language of JIAH Kitchen.

The Ground Floor

The ground floor is designed as the main dining area, featuring a warm and inviting atmosphere through the combination of deep blue finishes, golden accents, patterned screens, and decorative geometric motifs. Warm pendant lighting adds a refined ambiance, while the open arrangement of dining tables allows for comfortable circulation and flexible seating. The contrast between dark finishes and gold details gives the space a contemporary interpretation of Middle Eastern interiors.
