New York City’s Brooklyn Diner is coming to Dubai.  Also known as the“Finer Diner,” the restaurant is expanding to bring American comfort food to the Middle East with its first location in Dubai Festival City. Dubai’s residents and tourists alike will get a taste of Brooklyn’s authentic multi-cultural food as well as enjoy photographs of the Borough’s landmarks.

“Everyone loves the foods they grew up with,” “Brooklyn’s filled with people from every culture in the world and they have brought their favorite foods with them.  We call it “The Finer Diner” because we make everything from scratch, just the way you would at home and serve it with a warm, family feeling. Dubai is home to many cultures as well as travelers from all over the world.  We look forward to welcoming everyone and making them feel right at home,” said Shelly Fireman, founder of The Brooklyn Diner and The Fireman Hospitality Group.

In accordance with Islamic culture all proteins including The Brooklyn Diner’s famous 15 Bite Hot Dog, pastrami and corned beef, will be Halal.  The restaurant will have 90 seats in the restaurant and 30 seats on the outdoor terrace. It will also offer cocktails, beer and wine.

The Brooklyn Diner’s warm atmosphere and multi-ethnic cuisine will serve as a great new additional to Dubai’s burgeoning skyline of international restaurants and luxury brands.
