Third Avenue Chef Ali Yazdi Menu Launches in Dubai Mall
Third Avenue partners with Emirati Chef Ali Yazdi for a limited-edition menu in Dubai Mall. Available from 15 January to 15 February.
A new limited-edition Emirati menu has arrived at Third Avenue Dubai Mall's Fashion Avenue, bringing a Mediterranean and Emirati cuisine fusion to the table. The restaurant has partnered with award-winning Emirati Chef Ali Yazdi for this special menu, available only from 15 January to 15 February 2026.
This collaboration at the Third Avenue Dubai Mall pairs its global influences with Chef Yazdi’s modern take on regional ingredients, offering a unique perspective for diners in Downtown Dubai.
The Concept Behind the Third Avenue x Chef Ali Yazdi Collaboration
The partnership is described as a "creative exchange" between the restaurant and Chef Yazdi, the founder of FOWLI. Known for his ability to elevate street-led flavours with premium produce, Chef Yazdi brings a contemporary Emirati cuisine fusion sensibility to Third Avenue’s Mediterranean base, much like one might find in a signature Chef Ali Yazdi restaurant experience.
It joins a growing trend of highlighting local talent, similar to the recent Irthi and Apple partnership which celebrates regional heritage. For this menu, the focus is on bold techniques and a strong emphasis on meat, transforming familiar formats into polished, expressive plates.
Exploring the Chef Ali Yazdi Limited-Edition Menu at Third Avenue
The menu is à la carte, allowing you to pick and choose dishes to try alongside the regular offerings. While specific prices haven’t been confirmed yet, the selection leans towards rich, comfort-focused dishes with a refined twist.
Standout items include the Spicy Miso Jang Ribs and an Aged Beef Carpaccio dressed with truffle and yuzu. For something truly distinct, the Sour Wagyu Skewers are marinated in Persian pomegranate molasses, offering a balance of sweet and tart notes.
The centrepiece of the collaboration is the Signature AY Shank. This lamb shank is slow-cooked for eight hours and served with aromatic Japanese rice. To finish, there is a Sesame Toast featuring whipped Emirati chami cheese, black lime, and Liwa date caramel—a clear nod to local ingredients.
