3Fils, a harbor-side community-style restaurant serving premium Asian dishes with a Japanese twist, has been piling up awards for quite some time, topping the list at the inaugural MENA’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards (2022), Forbes Top 10 Coolest Places To Eat (2019) and TimeOut Dubai’s Best Asian Restaurant for three consecutive years (2018-2020). Ahmed Saleh, CEO of The Lab Holding, which operates 3Fils, explains how this homegrown concept has been able to go head-to-head with multinational restaurants.
