New licensed Greek eatery opens at Bluewaters Island
Restaurateur and founder of Bulldozer Group Alexander Orlov has opened a new Greek licensed eatery called MIYA at Bluewaters Island. Inspired by Mykonos, MIYA will mirror the magic and beauty of the sunny Cycladic Island blending Greek hospitality with a passion for flavour.
“We are thrilled to bring this new concept to life, which will be the perfect addition to Bluewaters Island and the city’s wider culinary scene,” Orlov said. “With a unique combination of legendary Greek hospitality, a warm community feel and an elevated yet unassuming culinary offering, MIYA is set to be an instant hit with Dubai’s diners.”
The menu represents traditional Greek dishes and is dominated by a selection of Mediterranean favourites, with each designed to tell a timeless story of food, friends and togetherness. Guests can expect familiar Greek flavours but with a modern twist. MIYA’s dessert selection will also feature popular favourites with a unique twist, while the bar offering will have a wide variation of invigorating and appetizing cocktails and mocktails, as well as a list of traditional Greek grape. In addition to the culinary offering the restaurant will have a variety of live entertainment throughout the week
The restaurant sports Mediterranean-style interiors with a contemporary edge offering a warm, cheerful environment that invites patrons to connect over food in a cozy atmosphere. The carefully sourced artwork displayed throughout the venue emphasises MIYA’s Greek roots, while the open plan kitchen allows guests to take in the smells, sights and sounds of the place. Featuring a neutral colour palette with pops of blue, white and copper, the interior décor incorporates thoughtfully crafted natural textures throughout, such as reclaimed wood accents, herringbone tile and rattan furniture.
