“Following the success of CLAP, we are proud to introduce KIRA Restaurant and LITT Bar Club at Dubai’s newest high-end lifestyle destination, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Matching their iconic location, the concepts promise the same level of excellence, innovation, and luxury as their sister venue, CLAP. This opening marks an important milestone as we launch the first venture developed under our new lifestyle vertical, AlphaMind.” Tony Habre, Director of AlphaMind.
From the moment you step into KIRA’s majestic interiors, designed by Verhaal Studios, you are enveloped in an ever-changing dance of light and colour, inspired by the artistic mastery of the Mediterranean and Japan. Japanese tapestries and Italian mosaics intertwine seamlessly, while gold accents, reminiscent of kintsugi, celebrate the beauty of imperfection. Hand-painted blue ornaments complement warm terracotta tones, and soft pastels enhance the serene ambiance, with a statement chandelier casting a golden glow.
As the journey flows effortlessly from the refined interiors to the open air, the outdoor bar and terrace reveal breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the iconic Burj Al Arab, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. The transition is seamless, with the main terrace extending into the more intimate and secluded Gardens of KIRA, offering an exclusive alfresco dining experience, where bespoke service, lush surroundings, and panoramic beauty set the stage for unforgettable moments and extraordinary occasions.
KIRA’s Culinary Philosophy: KIRA’s culinary philosophy is rooted in a delicate balance of lightness and depth, vibrancy, and tranquillity. It is a perfect dance between the land and sea, simplicity, and craftsmanship. Designed for sharing and discovery, every dish is an invitation to explore a world where seasonal, wild-caught Mediterranean seafood is elevated and infused with the vibrant citrus of Sicily and Japan.
The open kitchen draws guests into the heart of the culinary experience, where the robata open-fire grill and tandoor oven take center stage, enhancing dishes with subtle smoky notes. A fresh fish counter showcases the day’s finest catch, artfully displayed on a bed of ice, highlighting the restaurant’s dedication to premium ingredients and pristine seafood. With all dishes designed to be shared Izakaya-style, the menu encourages a communal dining experience, where refined, hand-crafted pasta dishes seamlessly blend Mediterranean ingredients with the understated elegance of Japanese flavors.
LITT Bar Club is where the spirit of the night ignites, transporting guests to a realm where nature’s mystique meets the pulse of the evening. A high-energy destination at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, LITT fuses nightlife and luxury in an immersive escape. Tucked within KIRA, it boasts its own exclusive entrance while also being seamlessly connected to its sister venue. Inspired by the ethereal glow of moonlight, LITT’s design blends intricate forest-inspired patterns, a striking bar, and ambient lighting, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. With a strong music identity, expertly crafted cocktails, and a bold, vibrant crowd, LITT sets the stage for a new nightlife destination where every detail is designed to ignite the senses.
LITT Cocktail Philosophy: Honouring the golden age of cocktails with a modern edge, LITT reinvents ‘80s and ‘90s classics through avant-garde mixology. The bar showcases an exceptional selection of agave-based spirits, featuring tequilas, mezcals, sotol, and raicilla, crafted to captivate even the most refined palates.
KIRA and LITT invite guests to indulge in the extraordinary. Whether drawn to KIRA’s refined sophistication or LITT’s electrifying energy, each moment immerses guests in life’s most fleeting yet unforgettable pleasures.
