Nazaara now offers upscale Indian dining with Burj Khalifa views. The restaurant opened this week in Emirates Financial Towers, bringing a fresh take on Indian flavours to the heart of Dubai's financial district. Guests can enjoy the setting from noon until late evening, making it a perfect spot for a weekend outing.
Skyline setting and design
Located on the tower’s upper levels, Nazaara frames the iconic Burj Khalifa in every seat. The interior blends warm lighting with refined materials, creating a modern luxury ambience that feels both intimate and expansive. Large windows stretch across the dining room, turning the cityscape into a living backdrop for each course.
The atmosphere shifts dramatically from sunset – night, with the changing light adding a subtle rhythm to the meal. The restaurant operates daily from 12 pm to 11:30 pm, giving diners ample time to watch the skyline transition while enjoying their plates. The design deliberately makes the view an extension of the food, so each bite feels tied to the city outside.
Menu highlights and chef’s vision
Consulting chef Pradeep Khullar guides a menu that reinterprets classic Indian dishes through a contemporary lens. Highlights include Dahi Golgappe, Tandoori Cod Tikka, Baby Lamb Raan and Prawn Dum Biryani, each built around spice, texture and progression. The dishes balance familiar regional notes with fresh presentation, echoing the evolving skyline beyond the windows.
The drinks programme mirrors the food’s mood, offering signature cocktails that complement the spices rather than compete with them. From sunset drinks to late‑night libations, the beverage selection is crafted to enhance the overall dining journey. The menu’s structure encourages a gradual build, allowing diners to savour the changing city lights as they move through each course.
For weekend planners, Nazaara provides a memorable reason to look up. Reservations can be made through the restaurant’s website, and the venue welcomes guests from lunch through dinner. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed midday meal or a vibrant evening with friends, the combination of modern Indian flavours and panoramic views promises a unique Dubai experience.
