"The Time Out Restaurant Awards have long been established as a key honour in London's hospitality industry and we are proud to have been able to bring the Time Out standard of independent, impartial evaluation to Dubai and to these awards," said Justin Etheridge, publisher of the Time Out Group.
All proceeds from the evening went to the Dubai Centre for Special Needs.
