The story
The Harummanis story began in a humble hawker stall in Teck Whye Lane, Singapore, in 1992. For over two generations, it served the local community, building a legacy on authentic, home-style Malay cooking. Today, Chef Akmal Anuar opens a new chapter, redefining Harummanis for a global audience. Paying homage to his parents' enduring thirty-year legacy, he brings his contemporary take on traditional Malay recipes to Dubai.
Harummanis is now proud to bring its authentic Singaporean flavors to the city, sharing its rich heritage with the world. The cuisine is grounded in the aromatic, spice-forward traditions of the Malay archipelago, reimagined through a modern grill lens. This is not fusion; it is a respectful evolution of a family recipe book, executed with precision and a chef's ambition.
The restaurant’s recognition with a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 speaks to its commitment to good quality, good value cooking. It is a place where the depth of a slow-cooked rendang or the char of a satay reflects decades of practice, now served in a polished Jumeirah setting. Whether you are familiar with the hawker stalls of Singapore or discovering these flavors for the first time, Harummanis offers a direct, unpretentious experience of modern Malay cuisine. The menu is built for sharing, designed to bring South East Asia to your table through rich, aromatic dishes that reward exploration.
