executive chef, research and development for Somewhere (Dubai) · 33 picks
Where does Hossam Atef eat in Dubai? Hossam Atef has named 33 places in Dubai: Bait Maryam - Dubai, LDC Kitchen+Coffee - SZR, Soho Garden DXB, Pak Liyari Restaurant L.L.C (Br.), Brunch & Cake Jumeirah Islands and 28 more. Each one is listed below with the source, in their own words where they gave them.
Hossam Atef is an executive chef who has cooked in the UAE and Egypt and now leads research and development for Somewhere, the Dubai restaurant from the Independent Food Company. His picks run from Ossiano and Trèsind Studio to the Egyptian street food at Hadoota Masreya and Cairo Gourmet.
I’d like to highlight Bait Maryam for its authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and soulful, home-style flavors. It’s not just a meal—it’s a culinary journey that connects traditional recipes with a modern dining experience. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, showing deep respect for ingredients and local culinary heritage

I recommend paying attention to Hadoota Masreya and Cairo Gourmet, which bring a genuine Egyptian street food experience to Dubai. These places stand out for their bold flavors, freshness, and the nostalgic feeling they evoke for anyone familiar with authentic Egyptian cuisine
