Thrills and Grills Await at This Cool New Spot
Introducing CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba’s newest grill bar concept that promises an unforgettable culinary experience. This fresh venture from the popular Emirati-owned brand Around The Block combines the allure of open flame cooking with influences from diverse global cuisines. With its emphasis on quality ingredients and creative presentation, CHAR is set to become a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts in Dubai.
Situated in the newly opened Nad Al Sheba Mall, CHAR x Around The Block features a sleek, minimalistic design, highlighted by earthy brown tiles and warm wooden furnishings. The ambiance is enhanced by low yellow lighting, creating an inviting atmosphere that focuses on the star of the show: the exposed grill. This centerpiece not only elevates the dining experience but also delivers a tantalizing array of grilled dishes inspired by Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine—known for their rich traditions of open-flame cooking.
Each dish is expertly flame-kissed and paired with a selection of cold plates and sides that enhance the smoky richness of the grilled items with fresh, lively flavors. The overall result is a blend of bold, refreshing, and indulgently rich profiles that are sure to satisfy any palate.
What’s New?
This venue offers a unique dual experience. During the day, it maintains the charm of Around The Block, serving specialty coffees and comfort food in a relaxed setting. As the clock strikes 2 PM, CHAR x Around The Block transforms into a lively grill bar, where diners can enjoy freshly baked bread, smoky non-alcoholic drinks, savory meats, and delightful desserts.
It’s a seamless day-to-night transition, reminiscent of the transformations seen in ATB’s other locations, such as The Kitchen by Around The Block in Wasl 51 and TŌRI at Al Khawaneej Walk, which dazzles patrons with its modern Japanese offerings.
CHAR x Around The Block, Nad Al Sheba Mall, now open daily from 7 AM to 2 PM, transforming to a grill bar from 2 PM until late, @charconcept, @aroundtheblock
