Delighted to meet a friend for lunch, I made plans to check out Origami (located in a neatly tucked away part of Jumeirah Beach at a mall I’d never heard of, let alone been to, but have driven past countless times). Said ‘mall’ has a marina and a number of dining outlets (and, as the continual struggle in Dubai goes, not enough covered parking). I found a spot in the paid lot behind the venue and walked somewhat awkwardly through the world’s smallest parking garage™ to the location. After a sweaty lift ride crammed in with at least ten tourists (where are the stairs, really?), we arrive at Origami, cleverly signed and just outside the elevator. Upon entering the establishment, we are warmly greeted by one of the most uniquely designed restaurants in the city. Equal parts Arabic and sushi bar, I’m not sure if the interior is a match…
