A modern Indian tapas bar in Dubai Hills Estate has unveiled an ambitious new menu that takes diners on a culinary voyage across ten countries, fusing traditional Indian flavours with international cooking techniques.
Revelry has introduced its Passport Menu this January 2026, marking a significant expansion of the venue’s food offerings. The new selection draws culinary inspiration from the USA, Mexico, China, Spain, Italy, Thailand, South Korea, France, Japan and the UAE, creating dishes that bridge familiar comfort food with adventurous flavour combinations.
The bar-led dining concept puts cocktails at the forefront of the experience, with shareable plates designed specifically to complement the drinks menu. This approach positions Revelry as part of a growing trend in Dubai’s hospitality scene, where the traditional restaurant model gives way to more relaxed, social environments centred around the bar.
Located in Dubai Hills Estate, the venue operates under the Passion F&B umbrella, a hospitality group with an established portfolio of acclaimed dining concepts. The group’s other ventures include Trèsind, Trèsind Studio, Carnival by Trèsind, A Cappella, Maison de Curry and Avatara, giving Revelry a strong foundation in Indian-inspired cuisine.
The Passport Menu showcases an eclectic range of dishes that reimagine street food and comfort classics through an Indian lens. Diners can order Shawarma Kulcha, a Middle Eastern-Indian hybrid, alongside Chicken Dim Sum infused with Indian aromatics. Butter Masala Mac & Cheese brings a spiced twist to the American staple, whilst Taco Chaat merges Mexican street food with Indian chaat traditions.
Paneer Croquetas offer a Spanish-Indian fusion, taking the classic tapas format and filling it with Indian cottage cheese. The approach throughout the menu is playful yet considered, with each dish crafted to encourage sharing and grazing throughout the evening.
Desserts follow the same global-fusion philosophy. The Brownie vs Cheesecake presents a playful take on two beloved sweets, while Chocolate Mantecato draws from Italian gelato traditions. Hazelnut Kalakand transforms a traditional Indian sweet into something with broader appeal for international palates.
The venue’s atmosphere strikes a balance between refined and approachable. Rather than formal dining, Revelry cultivates a neighbourhood energy where evenings develop organically. Whether guests arrive for after-work drinks, late-night snacks or weekend celebrations, the space adapts to different occasions throughout the day and night.
This flexibility is reflected in the opening hours, with doors opening at 12:00 PM and service continuing into the evening. The extended schedule allows the venue to serve different crowds, from lunchtime diners to those seeking a relaxed evening environment.
The bar programme remains central to the Revelry experience. Cocktails are thoughtfully crafted to pair with the bold, spice-forward flavours found throughout the menu. The drinks selection complements rather than competes with the food, creating a cohesive experience where both elements enhance each other.
By redefining what an Indian tapas bar can be, Revelry moves beyond traditional boundaries. The concept doesn’t simply serve Indian food in small portions; it takes Indian flavours as a starting point and explores how they interact with culinary traditions from around the world. This creates dishes that feel simultaneously familiar and novel, comfortable yet exciting.
The social dining format encourages guests to order multiple plates and share them across the table, fostering a convivial atmosphere. Conversations extend over lingering drinks and successive rounds of small plates, creating an experience that prioritises connection and enjoyment over rushed service.
Attentive hospitality underpins the entire operation. Staff guide diners through the menu’s diverse offerings, helping navigate the international influences and suggesting pairings that work well together. This service style enhances the relaxed ambience without feeling overbearing.
For Dubai’s increasingly sophisticated dining scene, Revelry represents an evolution in how Indian cuisine can be presented and experienced. The Passport Menu demonstrates that traditional flavours can travel well, adapting to different culinary contexts whilst maintaining their essential character.
The venue has positioned itself as a contemporary bar concept for those seeking something beyond conventional dining experiences. It’s a destination for people who want quality food and drinks in an environment that doesn’t take itself too seriously, where the focus remains on enjoyment rather than ceremony.
Reservations and additional information are available through the venue’s website at www.revelrydxb.com. Guests can also make bookings by calling 800 1604. For press enquiries, contact Kareena kewlani at Kareena.kewlani@passionfandb.com.
Revelry continues to establish itself within Dubai Hills Estate as a go-to destination for those seeking inventive cocktails paired with globally inspired small plates that maintain an Indian soul. The launch of the Passport Menu reinforces this identity, offering diners a flavour-driven journey that spans continents without requiring them to leave their bar stool.
