Led by chef-owner Rami Nassim, who honed his skills at Ferrandi and Le Clarence in Paris, alongside partners Megan Heckinger, Michael Kassabji, and Imad El-Nawam, Dunya offers a soulful Lebanese experience: Dishes simply done but with finesse and bold flavours—hence the understate but swish interior.
The menu’s stars include beef shawarma, tender and rich with lamb fat, and chicken shawarma with toum, pickles, and fries—a nostalgic favourite elevated. Falafel lovers will find both a gluten-free platter and a classic sandwich, each crafted fresh from Dunya’s beautifully designed copper fryer. For sides, try their vibrant fattoush or crispy fries with a choice of six house-made dips. Finish with a homemade honey pistachio ice cream for a truly decadent treat.
With branding by Aseel Hariri and Studio Fig’s minimalist, vegetable-focused decor, Dunya is a stylish celebration of Lebanese flavours.
