Get ready for our Arabic Buffet on Friday 16 August at Woden – Chef Jojy is cooking up something fantastic for you!

With his experience at the luxury hotel Burj Al Arab and learning from Dubai’s Master Chefs Mohammed and Chef Moussa, you can expect a buffet full of flavours with spices like cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and more.

After the success of our previous Arabic Buffets at Jamison, we’ve decided to bring it to Woden. ‘When events like this succeed, it fills my heart with joy. I am excited!’ Chef Jojy said.

Don’t miss out on experiencing the delicious flavours of the Middle East!
