Dubai’s new AED 690 bespoke dinner at Atrangi puts you on the water first

Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia has launched an intimate, personalised dining experience at Jumeirah Al Qasr in Dubai. The evening starts with a calm abra ride. Guests then share likes and dislikes with the manager. The kitchen builds a bespoke dish for each person. No two plates are the same. The price is AED 690 per person. It runs daily for lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended.

What’s new at Atrangi

Atrangi is offering a guided experience that removes the menu from the table. You share your tastes. The team cooks for you.

• Price: AED 690 per person
• Available: daily for lunch and dinner
• Location: Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia, Jumeirah Al Qasr, Dubai
• Booking: reservations recommended
• Start: serene abra ride before the meal

This format puts focus on you, not a list of dishes. The abra sets a slower pace. After that, the manager notes your preferences. The chefs prepare a one-off plate tailored to you. It is designed to be personal and calm, without the rush of choice or a long menu read.

How the personalised plate works

You speak with the restaurant manager. Say what you like, what you avoid, and any preferences. The kitchen uses that input.

• Direct chat with the manager
• Chefs curate a bespoke dish for each guest
• No two plates are the same
• Designed around likes, dislikes, and preferences

This is not a fixed tasting menu. You will not pick from courses. Instead, your input shapes the dish. It could be a reworked classic or a modern build. The point is that the plate reflects you. It is a simple idea: trust the team, share your tastes, and let them do the cooking.

The food style you can expect

Atrangi’s cooking draws on regional Indian recipes with global finesse. The team balances tradition and technique.

• Roots in regional Indian cooking
• Contemporary execution
• Possible reimagined classics
• Contemporary creations guided by your brief

Expect clear flavours, clean plating, and a focus on balance. Your dish might nod to a known recipe, then shift with seasonal inputs or a different texture. Or it might be a fresh build that still reads as Indian at heart. The brief is simple: reflect the diner’s individuality in a plate that makes sense from first bite to last.

The experience flow

There is a set order to the evening. It keeps the experience steady.

• Begin with an abra ride across the water
• Arrive at Atrangi and speak with the manager
• Share likes, dislikes, and preferences
• The team curates and serves your bespoke dish

The abra ride slows the pace and frames the night. Upon arrival, the short consultation establishes boundaries for the kitchen. From there, the chefs work within those lines to produce a plate built for you. It is a tight loop: listen, cook, serve. The aim is a calm, personal meal without noise.

Practical details for UAE diners

The model is straightforward to plan around.

• Price is AED 690 per person
• Offered daily for lunch and dinner
• Location is Jumeirah Al Qasr, Dubai
• Reservations are recommended

For planning, set aside time for the abra ride and the meal that follows. The price is fixed, which makes it simple for a date night or a small group that wants a tailored plate without a long pre-order. The daily schedule means you can book it mid-week or at the weekend with the same format.

Who this suits

This works for diners who like a personal touch and a bit of surprise.

• Guests who enjoy chef-led experiences
• People who know their tastes but dislike long menus
• Small groups seeking a calm setting
• Diners open to one-off plates

You still control the broad shape of the meal through your preferences. The team handles the rest. It suits people who want fewer decisions and a more focused plate. It also suits anyone keen to see a chef’s take on their flavour profile without committing to a large tasting menu.
