Nammos 2.0: Dubai’s Original Mediterranean Icon Returns, Reborn

If you’ve lived in Dubai long enough, you know that Nammos in always in the city’s social calendar. A long-lunch tradition. A “meet me by the water” moment. A spot you bookmarked for everything from birthdays to “I need to feel alive again” dinners. So when the doors closed for renovation, everyone wondered what the next chapter would look like.

And now we have our answer: Nammos Dubai is back and it feels familiar, but better.

Reopening this December, the iconic beachside address returns to Jumeirah with a refreshed setting and a renewed sense of ease. It’s still the Nammos you know but with a calmer mood, a little more intention, and design details that make you stop and smile. The delicious dishes from the Aegean sea? Still there.

A Greek Original, Reborn for Dubai

Nammos started more than 20 years ago on Psarou Beach in Mykonos, and that roots-first energy still anchors everything. But the Dubai edition now stands proudly on its own: part Mediterranean, part Dubai, part something entirely in-between. As Petros Stathis—Chairman of Nammos and Vice Chairman of ADMO Holding—puts it:

“From the beginning, Nammos has always been about more than cuisine or setting; it’s about emotion.”
And the space delivers exactly that. Not loud emotion but familiar emotion.

The Food Still Steals the Show (Obviously)

There are restaurants you go to for the view, and restaurants you go to for the food. Nammos has always been both.

The menu returns with the greatest hits: Salmon Teriyaki. Spicy Crab Tartar. Aubergine Mille-Feuille. Risotto Saganaki.
And a few new surprises shaped by seasonal Mediterranean creativity. Nothing forced. Nothing gimmicky. Just simple dishes that taste like summer without trying too hard.

The Nammos “Day Turns Into Night” Phenomenon

One thing Nammos has always understood is rhythm. You arrive for lunch thinking you’ll stay two hours. Suddenly the sun drops, the music shifts, the tables reshuffle, and you realise you’ve been there all day.

The beach, the terrace, the alfresco dining, the performances, the unexpected DJ sets…all meant for you to stay from lunch to dinner.

Aegean by Heart, Dubai by Design

The renovation leans into Cycladic lines, sun-bleached textures, and those signature Nammos blues.
But then you notice the details that make it Dubai: hand-painted tiles, curated landscaping, glazed lava surfaces, and mahogany sunbeds that nod to Riva boats; small touches that tell you someone paid attention.

It’s barefoot luxury, but grown up, more relaxed, more intentional, more “come as you are.”
