Celebrate Orthodox Easter with a Soulful Balkan Feast at 21grams Dubai
Gather with loved ones for a festive Easter brunch featuring traditional dishes, free-flowing drinks, and heartwarming rituals.
This Orthodox Easter, Dubai’s 21grams invites diners to experience a celebration of generosity, tradition, and culinary creativity. On Sunday, 12th April, the Meydan Mall hotspot will host a Balkan-inspired Easter brunch designed to bring family and friends together over a thoughtfully curated four-course menu.
The experience begins with a mezze spread meant for sharing: ajvar, chicken liver pâté, freshly baked pogacha bread, seasonal spring vegetables with herb yogurt, and classic deviled eggs paired with lutenica. Guests then move into the second course, individually plated stuffed peppers filled with minced beef, artichoke, and a creamy white bean purée, finished with fragrant cumin oil.
The main course returns to a communal format with slow-roasted beef chuck, accompanied by truffle polenta and a rich spinach and spring onion ragout—a comforting, generous centerpiece perfect for passing around the table. Desserts are served individually, featuring delicate apple tarts with olive oil ice cream, complemented by coffee or tea.
Beverages flow freely throughout the celebration, including house juices, iced teas, soft drinks, and water, ensuring a truly festive and relaxed afternoon.
In keeping with Orthodox traditions, each guest will receive an Easter egg for the playful egg-smashing ritual, a beloved Balkan custom symbolizing connection, renewal, and shared joy. Beyond the culinary delights, Easter at 21grams is a moment to create lasting memories—mindfully enjoyed, thoughtfully remembered, and deeply cherished.
