What type of cuisine does Ostura serve?
Ostura serves modern Middle Eastern fine dining cuisine, blending Arabic fusion flavours with theatrical dining and live entertainment.
Each dish is a fable curated to reflect the magic of the tales while embracing modern culinary innovation. In short, the menu is a storytelling canvas in itself.
Expect delicate mezze and wood-fired mains to indulgent desserts. Their signature dishes include Sindibad’s Trip Fatayer – a warm mezze of pan-seared baby octopus with sundried tomato, black garlic, and portobello, baked in fresh pide doug; Caviar of Sindibad’s Lost Island – pan-seared scallops with authentic Levantine sayadiah rice, crowned with caviar; and Truffle Shawarma Enchanted – lava stone grilled chicken or beef shawarma with truffle rice and chimichurri sauce.
For a sweet treat, there’s the Treasure of Ali Baba’s Sake – a sweet indulgence of crepe dough filled with mixed fruit and chocolate.
