SINGAPORE, 9 FEBRUARY – Aniba is the reinvention of the best food and drinks from around the world. It is a reinterpretation of Middle Eastern cuisine laced with European style by Chef Meir Adoni. With his inspiration sourced from his globetrotting adventures, each dish and drink is a voyage across seas and continents.
From the second you enter, be it for a light meal, an aperitif, an evening feast, a Sunday brunch, or a lively night of fun, the darkly-lit entryway will glisten and immediately immerse you in a captivating combination of traditional Middle Eastern touches and modernity. The journey continues into the cocktail lounge, restaurant, open kitchen and private room, each bathed in atmospheric lighting and decked out with rich wood accents. This one-of-a-kind venue will take you on a flavour expedition, traversing various continents and tasting delicious dishes and cocktails.
Chef Adoni has crafted a cuisine that is rooted in his North African heritage, yet fused with the innovative culinary methods of the Middle East. By melding classic dining with his traditional cooking practices, he has cultivated a culinary style that seamlessly bridges the gap between Eastern and Western flavours. This harmonious play is marked by a warmth that is sure to invigorate the soul.
Proof Creative started to work on the collection in 2022, with Senior Bar Consultant Bobby Carey and Bar Consultant Andrew Loudon at the helm. Their processes included concept development, bar functional layout, OS&E curation, spirit curation, drink development, brand guidelines, outreach and programming and pre-opening assistance and training.
