Home supper clubs provide a platform where you can meet new people, eat great food and make new memories in the process.

Kuv’s Secret Suppers
“If it’s not cooked by me, it won’t be on your plate” says chef Kuv, founder and host of Kuv’s Secret Suppers. Hailing from London, the architect-turned-chef started his at-home supper club five years ago. The self-taught chef (who credits his mum for his skills) has contributed to kick-starting the underground dining movement in Dubai. He plates up a worldly array of dishes that tell stories and bring elements of human history as part of his monthly supper club. Dinners can send their preferences and tastes ahead of time and Chef Kuv tailors the menu accordingly.
