For shisha enthusiasts, the restaurant also offers a variety of flavors with proper segregation and seating arrangement on the first floor with break taking views of the Creek.

The contemporary chic space is also partnering up with ‘JUST VEGAN’ to bring a special vegan menu for its audience. Chef Kamel Shabrawy from ILA elaborated on the idea, “We want to be a place open for every kind of food lover, everyone and anyone that celebrates food. With the rise in people opting for vegan and vegetarian diets, we thought it was only right to include a specialized menu that abides to vegan diet but is also fresh and delicious.”

The spacious location set along the backdrop of Dubai creek makes ILA the must visit spot for the food lovers in Dubai. 

Specialties from the menu include a wide selection for Arabic breakfast, Cold & Hot Mezzeh, Sandwiches, Traditional Tagine, Manakish, perfectly done grills and a variety of fresh salads. The in-house bread is one that fills up with aroma first moving on to completely leaving customers speechless!
