Dubai is no stranger to bold ideas, but this one takes the cake (and I mean that kind of literally). The city is about to welcome WOOHOO, the world’s first restaurant run by an AI-powered chef! Set to open this summer at Kempinski The Boulevard, with breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa, this dining experience promises something unlike anything you’ve tried before. And before you ask, no the food won’t be AI. Come with me to find out all the delicious details you need to know.

Meet Chef Aiman – The AI In the Kitchen
Forget the classic white hat and apron. Chef Aiman is all digital! Created by UAE tech startup UMAI and introduced by the forward-thinking hospitality group Gastronaut, this AI chef isn’t here to steal jobs. He’s here to help. Think of him as the perfect kitchen teammate. Chef Aiman can whip up new recipes, suggest unique flavour combos, tweak menus on the spot, and even learn from the pros around him. He’s not replacing chefs – he’s working with them.
A Menu That’s Bold & Brilliant
So what’s cooking at WOOHOO? A daring mix of Japanese, Mexican, and Peruvian flavours. The menu is fusion, culinary playground where human creativity and AI smarts come together. Every dish reflects a partnership between Aiman’s data-driven brain and the experience of a Michelin-level chef.
Let’s Talk Ethics…
So, you might be wondering how safe is it to have AI in charge of your meal? Chef Aiman was built with strict ethical protocols. Every recipe goes through real-time feedback and thorough testing. The goal is to keep things transparent, safe, and responsible. Especially at a time when AI is still finding its place in our everyday lives. Like I said earlier, Chef Aiman is not about replacing the human chefs – he’s here to work with them.
Ready To Taste the Future?
WOOHOO is already taking reservations, and the buzz around the food is so real. Foodies and tech-lovers alike are lining up to be among the first to see what happens when AI enters the kitchen. Opening later this summer, this is one Dubai dining spot you won’t want to miss.
