Padi Village

Feast on Southeast Asian flavours
closebackBack

Padi Village was founded with a dream to popularise authentic Southeast Asian food in Dubai. This cosy eatery at Business Bay serves authentic dishes that tell the story of migration and adaptation along the Strait of Malacca.

The restaurant's minimalist interiors lend a homely vibe with a collection of photographs on a yellow brick wall that showcases moments of everyday life from native lands.

What food can you expect at Padi Village?

At Padi Village you will find influences of Chinese, Singaporean, Indonesian, Malay, Thai and Indian tastes that blend to create flavour-packed offerings.

Start off with an appetising plate of chicken wantons and shumai or shrimp gyoza. Vegetarians can opt for carrot and shitake mushroom dumplings or snack on crispy samosas and spring rolls. For mains, delight your tastebuds with nasi lemak — a Malay favourite that comes with a choice of tofu or meat cooked in sambal (spicy sauce), and served with fragrant rice. Take a nostalgic journey to the streets of Singapore with dishes like fish head curry and spicy fried rice, while noodle fans will love the Indonesian mee goreng.

Their menu also has a variety of teas and specialty drinks, like the spiced ginger refresher and red date longan. For those who like to finish meals off on a sweet note, bite into their steamed paos with coconut jam filling.

This intimate eatery promises friendly service with a focus on honest comfort food.
