MYA Dubai

Dubai, United Arab Emirates  ·  Flagship restaurant & lounge

MYA Dubai is a restaurant and shisha lounge on the first floor of The Dubai Mall, beside the Waterfalls. Its outdoor seating faces Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. It is the flagship of the MYA brand.

Moonlight Investments opened it in 2022. The kitchen cooks Mediterranean and international dishes with a creative fusion approach, and premium signature shisha is served all day. MYA is open daily from 9:30 AM to 1:00 AM.

The restaurant

Dining in front of Burj Khalifa

MYA started here in 2022. Because it sits inside The Dubai Mall, guests use it in different ways. Some stop for lunch between shops. Others book a table for a long dinner with the fountain show outside.

The room uses soft textures and warm tones, with views over the Dubai Mall Waterfalls. The outdoor seating looks straight at Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain, which makes sunset a popular time for shisha.

The restaurant opened as Amaya and now trades as MYA.

Food and shisha

Fusion cooking and signature shisha

The menu mixes Mediterranean and international dishes, cooked with a creative fusion approach. It runs from light breakfasts to full dinners, so the same table works at 10 AM and at 10 PM.

Shisha is a big part of MYA. The lounge keeps a wide selection of blends, from familiar flavours to MYA's own signatures, for regulars and first-timers alike.

The kitchen caters for dietary needs, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Tell the team when you order.

Events and private dining

Corporate events at The Dubai Mall

MYA takes bookings for business and private occasions. A central Downtown Dubai address with a Burj Khalifa view helps when you are hosting clients or a team.

Group reservations for birthdays and celebrations are welcome. The restaurant also marks the calendar, with Iftar during Ramadan and New Year's Eve.

Across the group

Where the brand began

Every MYA venue grew from this one. In Dubai the menu, the room, the service and the systems behind them were written down so they could be repeated in other cities.

Moonlight Investments also operates AMAYA Lounge Erbil, which opened in 2025, and AMAYA Baghdad, which opened in 2026. MYA Cafe Cairo opens in Mivida, New Cairo, in January 2027, and MYA Saudi is in development. Each takes the format that suits its city.
