So, picture this: you’re sipping a sparkling fruit fizz, a harp is playing like you’re in a Renaissance fairytale, and there’s a 360-degree view of the Burj Khalifa glinting under the stars. Sounds like a dream, right? Nope. It’s real—and it’s called COCO Restaurant & Lounge, the newest head-turner on Dubai’s nightlife runway, brought to life by NazCorp, with all the flair of a West End debut and the elegance of a botanical fantasy.
From London, With Luxe
COCO isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Think: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon met the London supper club scene and had a ridiculously good-looking baby. Born in London and now living large in Downtown Dubai, COCO made its grand entrance with a launch party that can only be described as a fever dream of fabulousness. We’re talking over 600 guests—celebrities, influencers, cricketers, media moguls, and probably that one person from your Instagram explore page who’s somehow always at VIP events.
Among the glitterati? Oh, just your usual Joseph Alayoubi, Jumana Abdu Rahman, Tam Khan, and even Andrew & Tristan Tate made a rare cameo. It was giving “guest list goals” all night.
A Feast for All Senses
Let’s talk theatrics. This wasn’t your average soft opening with a few nibbles and an awkward ribbon-cutting. This was a full-blown sensory circus. There were stilt walkers strutting like they owned the sky, mirror dancers who looked like human disco balls, a fire show that literally lit up the night, and music that had everyone vibing from the first harp pluck to the final DJ drop.
And the food? Chef’s kiss. Literally. Executive Chef Raheman and the legendary MasterChef Maurizio whipped up a culinary lineup that could steal scenes from a Michelin-starred movie. From live Wagyu steak slicing (hello, 24K gold Tomahawk) to rainbow sushi so pretty you’ll hesitate to eat it (but you will), the menu is a masterclass in global deliciousness.
What’s Inside COCO?
Let’s break down this jungle of joy:
- The Dome Room – Elegant, romantic, and anchored by a sculpture that looks like it came from the Louvre.
- The Green Room – Quiet, private, perfect for whispering business secrets over gourmet olives.
- The Red Room – All plush and sultry vibes, with non-alcoholic cocktails that taste better than your ex’s best apology.
- The Glass Terrace – The crown jewel. With that view of Burj Khalifa, it’s where Instagram dreams are made.
Late Nights, Right Vibes
When the sun dips, COCO doesn’t call it a night—it cranks up the tempo. From Thursday to Sunday, it transforms into a full-blown night lounge with live shows, electric vibes, and a social scene hotter than a Dubai summer. Oh, and it stays open till 5 AM, so you know where to go after “one last drink” turns into “let’s just watch the sunrise.”
In Their Own Words…
Naz Choudhury, Founder of NazCorp & COCO
“Bringing COCO to Dubai has been a dream in the making. Our vision was always clear — to offer an immersive experience that harmonizes international cuisine, theatrical entertainment, and refined hospitality in one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Dubai is the global stage, and COCO is here to take our guests on a theatrical culinary journey.”
Executive Chef Raheman of COCO added,
“We wanted the menu to reflect bold creativity and refined taste, Whether it’s our Rainbow Sushi or the fire-kissed Wagyu, each dish tells a story — rich with flavor, precision, and global inspiration.”
MasterChef Maurizio, Consulting Chef at COCO said
“Our mission is to make COCO not just a restaurant, but a memory, Every detail — from the plating to the music — is curated to surprise and delight.”
Final thoughts?
If Dubai had a new “it” spot, it’s COCO. Come for the food, stay for the vibes, and leave with stories your group chat won’t believe. Whether you’re dressed to impress or just craving some drama with your dessert—COCO is your new go-to.
Heads up though: seats fill up faster than you can say ‘Burj Khalifa view’—so book early, arrive hungry, and prepare to be wowed.
