Fire is the recipe.

Levantine cooking, built entirely around the coals — no gas, no shortcuts. Smoke & Sumac is a live-fire table on the water, and every plate remembers it.

17 Dishes fired daily over oak and citrus wood, none of them repeated twice a week.

Our Story

Everything we cook has touched fire.

Smoke & Sumac started as a single charcoal pit behind a Deira apartment block, cooking for neighbours who missed the flavours of Beirut and Amman. Six years on, the pit is bigger and the table is longer, but the rule hasn't changed: if it can't be cooked over coals, it doesn't go on the menu.

Five plates worth the trip.

The Experience

You don't come here just to eat.

The kitchen sits open to the room — coals glowing, skewers turning, smoke drifting over the pass. Tables run long on purpose: shared plates, second bottles, and a waterfront terrace that catches the last light over Al Seef.

  • 01Open fire kitchen — watch every plate get cooked, table-side view of the pit.
  • 02Waterfront terrace — 40 covers outdoors, heated in winter, shaded in summer.
  • 03Late kitchen — full menu until close, built for long nights.
