Dubai, UAE – Conveniently located along The Walk, JA Ocean View Hotel is a vibrant hub of dining and entertainment set against unparalleled views of the glistening Arabian Gulf. Now adding even further to its appeal, this oceanfront property presents OIA Greek restaurant and pool lounge, bringing the essence of the Aegean to Dubai. Blending the genuine hospitality of JA Ocean View Hotel with true Greek charm, OIA features a menu filled with traditional Greek favourites infused with modern Mediterranean twists. Perfect for dining with friends or family, OIA promises a laid-back, soulful experience where sharing and creating memories are at the heart of every meal.

As you enter OIA, you will be immediately swept away to the sun-soaked shores of Greece, where whitewashed arches and deep blue accents capture the spirit of the Aegean. Opening onto the outdoor terrace, lined with cobblestones, the space becomes a lively scene of clinking glasses, laughter, and the subtle scent of the sea, setting the tone for a memorable adventure. By the pool, the sky blazes with the colours of the most stunning sunsets, perfectly framed by views of Ain Dubai, making every moment feel like a Mediterranean escape.

A true celebration of life and the spirit of togetherness, OIA’s menu brings the authentic essence of Greek dining to life with a relaxed yet vibrant feast. Guests are treated to an irresistible spread of tempting mezedes, fresh flatbreads, flavourful plates of pasta, colourful mains, and indulgent desserts, each crafted for sharing. Focusing on communal dining, OIA captures the heart of Greek culture, where food sparks conversation and brings people together.

An authentic Greek dining experience wouldn’t be complete without mezedes and OIA delivers a delectable array to start the meal. Classic dishes like creamy Tzatziki, made with Greek yoghurt, cucumber, mint, dill, and garlic, alongside the smoky Eggplant Dip with chargrilled eggplant, bell peppers, and kalamata olives, are perfect for the centre of the table. As for starters, the tender Grilled Octopus with fava bean purée and black-eyed bean salad, and the indulgent Cheese Saganaki with grilled halloumi, organic honey, fresh fig, and a zest of lemon, promise to captivate the palate with every bite.

As for the main event, OIA’s menu features a delightful selection of Greek dishes infused with Mediterranean flair, including the Seafood Linguine, a symphony of the sea comprising scallops, calamari, prawns, mussels, and clams tossed in a rich tomato sauce, and The Greek Flatbread, which combines mozzarella, feta, kalamata olives, and fresh cherry tomatoes on a crispy base. Alternatively, the tender Lamb Souvlaki, served with fresh pita, cucumber pickle, and smoky eggplant dip, and Roasted Stuffed Eggplant, filled with caramelised onions, bell peppers, Greek yoghurt, and feta, presents an authentic taste of coastal living.

Finishing on a sweet note, diners can indulge in traditional Greek desserts such as the Loukoumades, a mouthwatering combination of crispy fried dough balls drizzled with organic honey and topped with pistachio, served with a side of refreshing fig ice cream. Additionally, the Kataifi Cheesecake is a creative twist on the classic, with layers of shredded phyllo pastry, creamy Greek yoghurt, mascarpone, and pistachio. Meanwhile, the Walnut Baklava is a timeless favourite, delivering flaky phyllo pastry filled with walnuts, soaked in sugar syrup, and paired with mastic ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
