I am talking about Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. There are about 18 thousand restaurants in this city! Different flavors of food from different parts of the world are available in these restaurants.

Dubai residents are used to eating dinner outside the house. For this, besides restaurants, nowadays they are choosing 'supper clubs'. These supper clubs are not traditional restaurants. A chef hosts dinner at his own home. Pre-registered guests arrive to eat. These guests do not know about the food menu and others in advance. Many people come to supper clubs to beat the boredom of eating in restaurants.

About 90 percent of the people living in Dubai are foreigners. Every year many people come to Dubai from different parts of the world. Some settle here, others come for a year or two. People who are far away from their own country come to the supper club and sit at a table with some strangers like a family, trying to overcome their loneliness. Apart from this, people of different age, profession and lifestyle who come here exchange culture among themselves.

Since 2019, the famous chef Ahmed Halawa has been organizing a supper club in his backyard in Dubai. His cooking is influenced by Palestinian heritage and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Desserts made by Halawar are very popular in the club. Guests attend his supper club by registering on social media Instagram. The guests have to pay 100 dollars, which is about 11 thousand 800 taka in Bangladeshi taka.

Dubai's supper clubs have been brought together through an app called Splidu. Where chefs are involved in organizing such dinners. Anyone can book and pay for a supper club through this app.
