In this episode of Stories from UAE, we visit Bait Maryam, a cozy Middle Eastern restaurant that has become a beloved name in Dubai’s food scene. With four Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, recognition from 50 Best, and guests from over 290 nationalities, it’s not just a restaurant. It’s a place that feels like home.

At the heart of it is Chef Salam Dakkak, a 62-year-old woman of Jordanian-Palestinian heritage, who began this journey much later in life, at an age when most are expected to slow down. With no investors, no formal training, and no business plan, she built something extraordinary from nothing but family recipes and a deep love for her mother, Maryam.

Her story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start. Through soulful cooking, she’s defied expectations, broken stereotypes, and become one of the most respected chefs in the region.

From her inspiring path to must-try dishes like shakshuka, Maryam’s salad, and Maqluba, this is the kitchen that continues to serve comfort, heritage, and heart on every plate.
