Where Rajasthan Comes to the Table Rave Dines: Jodhpur Bar & Kitchen, Dubai Where Rajasthan Comes to the Table by Khadija Husain 16 May 2026 Dubai has never been short of Indian restaurants, but Jodhpur Bar & Kitchen is doing something genuinely different. Tucked into the ground floor of Hyatt Place Dubai Jumeirah on Al Mina Street, this new opening doesn't just serve Indian food — it transports you to an entirely different world, one steeped in the royal legacy of Rajasthan's Blue City. From the moment you step in, it's clear this isn't a casual curry house. The team behind Jodhpur has approached the concept with real intention, drawing from the palaces, forts and royal kitchens of Marwar to create something that feels both deeply rooted and decidedly contemporary. The Space The interiors are arguably the first thing that will stop you in your tracks. A rich, layered palette of deep blues anchors the room, paying direct homage to Jodhpur's iconic cityscape. Arched archways, handcrafted details and warm, considered lighting set the tone, while the walls are adorned with portraits of Rajasthan's past royalty — a touch that feels more gallery than gimmick. Look closer and you'll find curated artifacts, embroidered fabrics, royal ornaments and plush patterned cushions, all sourced with obvious care. Nothing feels arbitrary. The result is an environment that manages to feel luxurious without being overbearing — visually rich, atmospheric and quietly theatrical. Tables are arranged for couples and larger groups, with a row of bench seating adding a more casual option. It's a thoughtful layout, intimate enough for a date night, spacious enough for a group celebration. And in the corner, there is a small stage with a piano and two stools. On weekends, a live music stage adds another layer to the evening, giving the space a gentle pulse that builds as the night goes on. It's the kind of room designed to be lingered in. Drinks First The bar programme announces the kitchen's intentions early. Pineapple shikanji is a bright, savoury-edged mocktail made with pineapple juice, roasted cumin, chaat masala and soda — refreshing, and particularly good if you prefer something savoury over sweet. It's an unusual combination that works immediately, and signals clearly that the team isn't here to play it safe. For something gentler, khamma ghani built on hibiscus, apple juice and soda, is more floral, with the carbonation stopping it from tipping into syrup. Both drinks feel genuinely of a piece with the food — spiced, considered, rooted in place. The Food The menu is uncluttered and clearly arranged, moving from chaats and salads to appetisers, mains, rice dishes and desserts. Rather than casting a wide net across the subcontinent, the kitchen stays disciplined and regional — focused on Marwari and Rajputana cuisine, a culinary tradition that rarely gets the spotlight it deserves in Dubai. The chaats are where the meal finds its voice. The ghewar chaat arrives as a crisp Rajasthani honeycomb shell holding whipped yoghurt, dahi vada crumble, chutneys and a tamarind-fruit mix. The shell has a pleasing crunch, almost like a savoury kunafa-style chaat — a comparison that will land immediately with anyone who knows their way around Middle Eastern sweets. The nagauri methi paneer tikka is a lighter, more interesting take on the familiar Indian dish of marinated fresh cheese cooked in the tandoor. The cubes are marinated in yoghurt and fenugreek, then cooked until soft, with a little char at the edges. The fenugreek brings a gentle bitterness, while kachri chutney, made from a small wild melon used in Rajasthani cooking, gives the dish a sharp tang. It's the kind of detail that tells you the kitchen is paying attention. The signature vegetarian plate, "Jodhpur At Its Best" brings together three very different dishes: papad ki sabzi, where pieces of crisp poppadum are softened in a yoghurt-based curry; sweet churma, a crumbly mix of wheat, ghee and sugar; and crispy bhindi, or fried okra. The okra, cut into twirly strings, gives the plate crunch, while the churma brings a warm, ghee-rich sweetness. As a compact survey of Marwari cooking, it is a fine introduction for diners new to the cuisine. For meat eaters, the standout is the Sindhi mutton, a slow-cooked, spice-rich curry served with pieces of mutton on the bone. The sauce looked alarmingly red, but the first spoonful did not set off the chilli fury it seemed to promise. Order it alongside the Jodhpuri kabuli, which turns out to be something of a revelation. This is not a typical biryani, but something richer and more colourful, layered with vegetables, nuts and fruit. Pomegranate seeds and sliced grapes bring little bursts of sweetness against the curd-based gravy beneath. Desserts close the meal with equal care. The Jalebi Caviar is playful and technically precise — a wink toward contemporary technique that doesn't feel out of place here. But the real closer is the thandai rasmalai, chenna discs soaked in spiced milk carrying the flavours of thandai, almond, fennel, cardamom, rose, saffron and a faint trace of black pepper. Cool, soft and gently spiced, it closes the meal on a generous note. Why It Stands Apart The staff speak proudly about the heritage being evoked, helping the restaurant stand apart from Dubai's more familiar Indian dining rooms. That detail matters more than it might seem. A restaurant can nail its interiors and its menu, but if the people serving the food feel disconnected from it, the whole experience loses something. At Jodhpur, there's a tangible sense that the team believes in what they're doing. Jodhpur is worth visiting if you are curious about Indian food beyond the staples. The meal is generous in flavour. It won't suit everyone, the theatrical setting nudges you to slow down and stay longer than you might have planned, and the menu leans traditional rather than crowd-pleasing. But that's precisely the point. This is a restaurant with a clear identity, a strong sense of place and a kitchen that knows exactly what it's trying to say. On that front, it succeeds.

When Bella Hadid arrives at Cannes, the world takes notice. But at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the 28-year-old supermodel didn’t just walk the red… Bella Hadid’s Blonde Transformation at Cannes 2025 Is the Talk of the Town When Bella Hadid arrives at Cannes, the world takes notice. But at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the 28-year-old supermodel didn’t just walk the red… by Rave Staff 13 May 2025 When Bella Hadid arrives at Cannes, the world takes notice. But at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the 28-year-old supermodel didn’t just walk the red carpet—she stole the show with a breathtaking blonde hair transformation that’s already become fashion’s favorite moment. Hadid stepped out at the iconic Hôtel Martinez on May 12, revealing a soft, honey-blonde hue that marked a dramatic shift from her signature brunette look. The color—crafted by celebrity colorist Jenna Perry—was styled in a tousled updo that exuded effortless Riviera glamour. Fans and beauty insiders alike are calling it the "NYC Blonde" , a warm, golden shade that flatters her bronzed complexion and brings a soft elegance to her entire look. Hadid's entrance was pure fashion gold. She wore an all-white ensemble that perfectly echoed the understated elegance of Cannes: a corseted white top with architectural lines, paired with matching bootcut pants that moved with a subtle flair. She completed the look with vintage Saint Laurent heels, a classic Manhattan bag, and mirrored sunglasses—evoking both modern cool and vintage screen siren. This refined outfit not only aligned with Cannes' newly updated red carpet dress code—favoring sleek silhouettes over voluminous gowns and provocative cuts—but also showcased Hadid’s ability to make bold fashion statements with minimalist restraint. Though Bella has experimented with lighter tones before—a honey blonde moment in 2022 and a pink-dip dye back in 2016—this is her most polished hair transformation to date. The “NYC Blonde” is a custom blend of warm honey, wheat, and beige tones that look sun-kissed rather than bleached, natural yet unmistakably editorial. Crafted by Jenna Perry, who also works with the likes of Emily Ratajkowski and Dua Lipa, the color offers a more subtle take on the blonde trend dominating the 2025 beauty scene. It’s an antidote to the platinum and icy tones we often see during awards season—softer, warmer, and infinitely wearable. Social media lit up the moment Bella’s blonde hair debuted. Fashion bloggers, stylists, and fans flooded Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), calling her look “Old Hollywood meets downtown NYC” and likening her to screen legends like Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, and even Claudia Schiffer in her heyday. Beauty influencers are already dubbing the “NYC Blonde” the must-have color for summer 2025, and salon searches for “Bella Hadid blonde” are reportedly spiking across Paris, New York, and LA. With the festival still unfolding, and multiple red carpets and events to come, all eyes will remain on Bella Hadid. Whether she leans further into this new blonde persona or surprises us again, one thing’s certain—she’s not just a model. She’s a mood-setter, a trend catalyst, and, once again, the defining face of the Cannes Film Festival. Featured image courtesy: Instagram/@bellahadid

By Chrissie Rucker OBE, Founder of The White Company The Modern Host’s Guide to Table Styling By Chrissie Rucker OBE, Founder of The White Company by Khadija Husain 1 May 2025 There’s something undeniably special about a thoughtfully styled dining table—it sets the tone, sparks conversation, and lingers in memory long after the last bite. Whether it’s a weekday dinner or a festive gathering, the modern host understands that how we present our tables is a reflection of the care and character we bring to any occasion. To decode the art of table styling with timeless elegance and a minimalist touch, we turned to Chrissie Rucker OBE, Founder of The White Company, whose signature aesthetic has elevated modern homes around the world. Design with Intention “The key is to match the mood and purpose of the occasion,” Chrissie says. For formal gatherings, it’s all about polished details—beaded placemats, tall candlesticks, sparkling glassware, and layers of soft linens that instantly add sophistication. In contrast, casual meals call for a more relaxed touch: think uncovered wooden tables, fresh herbs as centerpieces, and the soft flicker of tealight candles. “A well-set table should feel inviting, practical, and thoughtfully designed,” she adds. “It’s about creating an experience that feels as good as it looks Minimalism with Meaning While minimalism often risks feeling bare, Chrissie infuses it with warmth and soul. “Minimalism is about thoughtful choices,” she explains. “I stick to a single color palette—often white with soft greenery—and add texture through materials like linen napkins and ribbed glassware.” The result? Understated elegance that feels considered rather than sparse. Details like a rosemary sprig tucked into a napkin bring subtle charm that delights without overwhelming. The Essentials of Elegance Chrissie’s toolkit for a versatile and elevated table is refreshingly simple. “White linen tablecloths and napkins are timeless. Classic white china lets the food take center stage, while ribbed or clear glassware reflects light beautifully.” Her favorite accessories? A mix of clear glass and mercury candle holders for a hint of sparkle. “Everything should work together to create an elegant, welcoming space.” Plates, Cutlery & Glassware “Plates set the foundation for the dining experience,” says Chrissie. Organic shapes suggest ease and informality, while structured or square styles bring modern flair. Textured finishes, especially in matte tones, lend warmth to casual settings. When it comes to glassware, Chrissie recommends delicate stemmed glasses for formal events and versatile stemless options for relaxed affairs. “Ribbed or etched glassware catches the light beautifully. Tall tumblers for mocktails or juices bring freshness and height to the table.” “Cutlery is often overlooked, but it makes a huge difference,” Chrissie shares. “Weighty, balanced pieces add a sense of occasion. For formal settings, polished silver or gold-tone finishes elevate the experience, while brushed or matte cutlery suits a more contemporary, casual vibe.” She also recommends investing in a few versatile accents that can work across seasons and occasions: beaded placemats for texture, mirrored runners for added light, and a mix of clear and mercury glass candle holders for sparkle. Designing for Practicality and Beauty A well-styled table should never compromise on functionality. “Keep your centerpieces low—small floral arrangements, scattered greenery, or even bowls of seasonal fruit work beautifully without obstructing views or taking up too much space,” Chrissie advises. “You want your guests to connect easily across the table.” Candles are essential, but choose varying heights to create visual dimension without clutter. “Balance is everything,” she notes. “It’s about layering thoughtfully, without overwhelming the space.” Seasonal Sensibility When it comes to colour, white is Chrissie’s go-to for its calming versatility. But she adds seasonal nuances with ease. “In winter, I love introducing metallic accents and lush greenery for a sense of warmth. In spring or summer, soft pastels and natural textures like seagrass or raffia bring a lighter, breezier energy.” Patterns, if used, are kept subtle—never stealing the spotlight from the food or ambiance. Creating Cohesion So how does one achieve a cohesive look that still feels dynamic? According to Chrissie, it’s all about contrast and harmony. “Stick to a cohesive colour palette, but mix up your textures—pair smooth porcelain with ribbed glass, or combine metallic accents with linen napkins. Let one or two elements stand out while everything else complements the story.” Lighting is another tool not to be underestimated. “A mix of tall and low candles adds atmosphere and movement. For outdoor or festive settings, fairy lights are perfect—they add charm and a soft glow that’s hard to beat.” The Magic of Lighting Lighting, Chrissie believes, is transformative. “A mix of tall and low candles creates a magical, layered glow.” For alfresco or festive settings, she adores fairy lights. “Candlelight not only enhances the beauty of the table, but also makes everyone feel relaxed and welcome.” Start Small, Style Big For those just beginning their table styling journey, Chrissie offers the perfect starting point. “Begin with a simple white linen runner, a few well-placed candles, and a touch of greenery or florals. Even something as small as a sprig of rosemary on each napkin can create an elevated, personal feel.” The takeaway? You don’t need an abundance of elements to create impact—just intention, care, and a few timeless pieces that speak to your style.

An air of “unconscious glamour” pervades the store, enhanced by the artfully arranged décor. Misfit furniture and a travertine sofa, reminiscent of deconstructed classic objects, add a playful yet sophisticated touch. The shelves, display tables, and seating further exemplify Maison Margiela’s décortiqué technique, with their stained travertine surfaces contrasting against optical white resin-filled indentations, lending an artful, sculptural feel to the interiors. For an even more exclusive shopping experience, the boutique includes three spacious fitting rooms, one of which is a dedicated VIP suite. This luxurious space, framed by travertine tubes for added privacy, offers an intimate setting for discerning clientele. In celebration of the boutique’s opening, Maison Margiela has released a limited-edition Snatched bag and small leather goods collection, available in a distinctive Thyme color. This exclusive line is sure to be a coveted item for collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike. The Mall of the Emirates store follows the successful launch of similar Maison Margiela boutiques in renowned cities such as London, Paris, Osaka, and Shanghai. With 120 stores worldwide, Maison Margiela continues to elevate the retail experience, blending artistic design with timeless luxury, inviting clients to indulge in a journey through their iconic brand universe.
