Two popular Dubai restaurants are inviting guests on a weekend escape like no other, a tribute to femininity, creativity, and community, all wrapped in the mystical glow of the Andean moon goddess, Mama Quilla.

Running until May 15 in Dubai and May 20 in Abu Dhabi, the first-ever Mama Quilla celebration transforms the renowned Peruvian lifestyle brand into a soulful sanctuary of flavours, stories, and purpose. Both COYA Abu Dhabi and COYA Dubai are laying out a treat for lovers of South American delicacies. 

At the heart of the celebration is a specially curated Dh299 set menu, which includes COYA’s signature dishes, a themed dessert, and a mocktail. Even better? 15 per cent of proceeds from this menu will go to Dubai Cares to help fund education for children and youth around the world. So every dish you savour also serves a greater purpose.

Here’s what not to miss this weekend:
