In the ever-evolving Dubai dining scene, it’s not easy to stand out. Unless you’re WooHoo, a first-of-its-kind dining destination now open at Kempinski Boulevard in Downtown Dubai.

What makes it so unique? Well, the culinary artistry isn’t powered by a traditional culinary brigade; instead it’s the master work of the world’s first AI-driven chef, Chef Aiman.

Promising a fusion of art, technology and cuisine, WooHoo is the latest addition to the Gastronaut Hospitality portfolio, also behind a further two openings at Kempinski Boulevard: casual-cool Japanese eatery Ram&Roll and Mamabella, a hearty Italian restaurant with a rotation of nonnas curating the menus.

AI Chef Aiman is trained on decades of culinary research, molecular food science and access to thousands of digital recipes, making his globally-influenced menu one of the most diverse – and well-researched – in the city. It’s co-created with Gastronaut’s acclaimed Executive Chef Serhat and consulting Chef Reif Othman, who both bring their decades of industry and regional fine dining experience to the WooHoo culinary direction.

Dubai-loved dishes are each given a tech-focused upgrade befitting of this futuristic dining space. Signature dishes include bluefin toro tartare with osietra caviar, wagyu tataki with truffle ponzu, and ramen carbonara, the latter a must-try on this eclectic menu.

The journey continues at the bar, where award-winning mixologist Jimmy Barrat, one of Dubai’s most respected beverage visionaries, has designed a collection of cocktails that mirror WooHoo’s philosophy of playful innovation. Flavourful, Instagrammable and inspired by the futuristic surroundings, highlights include a gin and tofu infusion by the name of ‘Ghost Memory’, and Forest Error, a sparkling mix of prosecco and sake.

Befitting of this forward-thinking concept, every element of the design detail has been considered to make you feel like you’re stepping into another dimension. Holograms shift and morph as the room breathes in rhythm with sound and movement and colours change with every course, reacting to the energy of the evening. It’s a dining room that comes alive as the night does.
