Restaurant INÁ

This eagerly anticipated Middle Eastern debut by Glen Ballis at J1 Beach is a lounge restaurant dedicated to live fire, Africa, and vibrant nightlife. In true Dubai style, it is ambitious, offering smart ethnic interiors, a retractable roof that transforms the dining room into a terrace and dance area under the starry skies, and the city’s largest open-fire grill. In the Yoruba language, “iná” means fire, and the restaurant’s kitchen focuses on using the world’s oldest cooking technique, Ballis’ signature comfort fusion, and seasonality. The drinks menu includes timeless bar classics and a delightful wine selection.
