Dubai’s Getting a Cutting-Edge AI-Powered Restaurant Soon

And it's co-creating the menu with renowned chef Reif Othman

Kitchen robots aren't really groundbreaking. But, how about an AI that has personality, mood-driven flavour combinations, and a collaborative partnership with one of Dubai's most famous chefs? That is interesting, isn't it?

This isn't your average silent kitchen helper; Chef Aiman is designed to collaborate with people, offering creative suggestions for flavours, ingredient pairings, and cutting-edge culinary methods.

He will work together with chef Reif Othman to create an Asian-inspired meal with a global influence. Diners may anticipate robata-grilled skewers, tangy ceviche, and umami-loaded sushi that are all balanced with scientific (or, more accurately, AI-calibrated) accuracy.

With its ability to assess produce, adjust to seasonal components, and improvise recipes in real time, Chef Aiman takes centre stage while the majority of restaurant AI systems covertly do duties like stock control or reservations.

What about the beverages? Not at all normal. Anticipate futuristic-inspired uncommon beverages, algorithm-driven combinations, and high-tech drinks with molecular twists.

The design is a combination of elegance and cyberpunk. Imagine immersive digital art, interactive lighting, sci-fi interiors, and a hidden lounge called Spock that is set up to resemble a space travel adventure, replete with top-notch music and live DJ performances.

Gastronaut Hospitality's newest project, WOOHOO, is set to open in September 2025 inside the Kempinski The Boulevard Hotel in Downtown Dubai. Gastronaut Hospitality are the creators behind Trove and BohoX.

Stay tuned. Opening September 2025. Kempinski The Boulevard Hotel, Downtown Dubai, @woohoo.dubai
