Offering 22 globally inspired concepts across 42,000 sq. ft of buzzing indoor and outdoor space, along with HUSHH, the venue’s stylish 750 sqm nightlife and bar zone.
Mattar Farm
A proudly homegrown concept and the UAE’s undisputed smokehouse champion, Mattar Farm is the soul of Southern-style barbecue done right. The brand is known for its award-winning brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and tender smoked meats infused with bold, wood-fired flavour. Cooked low and slow over premium wood, each bite delivers authentic Texas-style comfort with a distinctly regional twist making every bite a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and the UAE’s passion for world-class comfort food.
Kompay
Kompay brings a taste of wanderlust to the Distrikt, fusing the tropical richness of Latin America with the vibrant punch of Asian street food. The menu celebrates unexpected combinations, from tangy fruits and zesty seafood to fragrant spices, all designed to take guests on a flavour-filled journey across continents. Whether inspired by Buenos Aires or Hanoi, Kompay’s colourful creations are both daring and delicious, promising a fusion dining experience like no other.
Shawarma Abu AlAbid
A cult favourite rooted in Syrian street food tradition, Shawarma Abu AlAbid brings the irresistible flavour of true Levantine street food to Social Distrikt. Specialising in sizzling rotisserie meats, bold Arabic marinades, and fluffy saj wraps oozing with garlic sauce, every bite is a throwback to the golden era of shawarma. It is a flavour-first concept that delivers on authenticity, comfort, and crave-worthy shawarma that keeps guests coming back for more.
“Social Distrikt was created to be a cultural hub; not just a place to eat, but a destination where people can discover, connect, and celebrate life together,” said Elie Sfeir, Group Operations’ Manager. “With every new concept we bring on board, we reinforce that mission. Welcoming brands like Mattar Farm, Kompay, and Shawarma Abu AlAbid reflects our commitment to offering flavours, stories, and experiences that resonate with Dubai’s diverse community.”
Alongside these new arrivals, guests can continue to explore crowd favorites like wagyu-filled onigiri, the Wagyu Kimchi at Alba Street, they can sink their teeth into juicy lobster rolls and smash burgers at Double Like, or enjoy fresh-out-the-oven sourdough pizza from Geppetto. With many more flavours spanning the globe and dishes to match every craving, Social Distrikt keeps the experience fresh, fun and always full of reasons to come back for more.
The atmosphere remains electric as guests continue to explore everything the Distrikt has to offer. Whether it’s unwinding with cocktails at HUSHH, challenging friends in the retro arcade zone, or catching a live set during one of the weekly comedy nights, music sessions, or artist showcases, there is always something happening.
