A new global food hall with 23 street food concepts is opening this month at the oldest mall in Dubai. Flayva, the new mall eating area, will open on February 16 at Al Ghurair Centre and will feature stalls from some favorites of the Dubai fast casual scene such as Allo Beirut, House of Curry, and BaoFriends. Spanning 3,318 square feet, the new culinary hotspot will be able to accommodate around 500 guests at one time. Cuisines featured at Flayva include Indonesian, Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese, Lebanese, Filipino, and Uzbek among others.

Restaurants revealed for the new food hall include Indonesian spot Warung Bandung, Vietnamese Snack Food Cafe, and Uzbeki Cuisine. Fried chicken place Clucks, Siam Thai Food, and Japanese joint Tako Ichiban House will also open at Flayva.
