02The beef

Australian Angus and Kiwami wagyu. The Kiwami cuts are wagyu at marble score 9+, grain-fed for more than 400 days: a 160 g / 5.5 oz tenderloin, a 1 kg / 2.2 lb porterhouse and a 1.3 kg / 2.9 lb tomahawk. The wood-fired grill section lists a 300 g / 11 oz picanha and a 200 g / 7 oz tenderloin of Australian Angus, and a 600 g / 21 oz Stockyard Gold Label ribeye. The Michelin Guide mentions dry-aged meats displayed in glass cabinets; the October 2026 menu does not say which cuts are aged or for how long. Prices are in AED, include 5% VAT and carry a 7% municipality fee on top.

03The fire

Different charcoals and embers, per the menu; a wood-fired grill section; skewers and yakitori glazed with tare. Foods & Wines from Spain wrote in January 2024 that everything is cooked over a grill using different types of charcoal. Time Out describes a glass-fronted kitchen, robata-grilled sea bass and charcoal steaks. The black in the room's black and orange, per Michelin, stands for the embers.

04The story

Leña started in Marbella in 2020. Dani García had earned a third Michelin star in 2019, closed that flagship and turned to Leña and Smoked Room. Dubai opened on Dec. 18, 2023, with Carlyne Leffondre as general manager and Mario Martinez as head chef. The group now lists Leña in Marbella, Madrid, Barcelona, Dubai, Ibiza, Mallorca and Bodrum, with Miami coming. At the Dubai Michelin ceremony on July 4, 2024, Smoked Room Dubai went straight in with one star.
