Brunch is back—with a bold new twist. This time, we’re digging into our roots and serving up the soulful flavours of the Mediterranean and Middle East in a setting that pulses with energy, elegance, and indulgence.

Raia Restaurant & Lounge — perched atop the stunning Taj Exotica Resort & Spa — is where golden hour gives way to glowing nights, and every Saturday is a celebration of culture, cuisine, and connection. From the moment you arrive, the vibe is electric. Fresh oysters and a chilled seafood platter greet the table, followed by Raia’s signature mezze—a colourful mosaic of vibrant bites that honour tradition with a modern twist.

As the evening unfolds, our iconic paella trolley weaves through the room, drawing eyes and sparking cravings with its fragrant saffron rice, succulent seafood, and smoky allure. Then comes the centrepiece—a masterfully prepared main course, plated with finesse and flair. And yes, dessert is just as divine.

But Raia is more than just a meal—it’s a journey. Cocktails are crafted with theatre and passion at our striking central bar, the heartbeat of the lounge where mixology meets mood.

Live music, a sensational band, rhythmic beats from our resident DJ, and roaming entertainers keep the atmosphere alive from the first bite to the last dance. And just when you think the night can’t get better—step onto the terrace. Take in panoramic views of the glittering Palm Jumeirah skyline and the iconic Burj Al Arab lighting up your backdrop.

Whether you’re celebrating, gathering your crew, or just chasing a new Saturday ritual, Raia’s brunch is your new weekend essential.

Eat. Sip. Dance. Repeat. At Raia, the night doesn’t end—it transforms.
