Revolver, Dubai's Hottest Fire Driven Modern Indian Grill, Teams up with Emirati-Owned, Maisan15 for a One-Night-Only Feast of Flavours
Since launching in Dubai earlier this year, Revolver has been on a mission to shake up the city's culinary scene with a dynamic series of one-night-only pop-ups that throw out the rulebook and invite some of the region's most exciting chefs to take over its fire-led kitchen. Following memorable collaborations with Chef Ali Yazdi and Chef Reif Othman, each event has celebrated fearless flavour and boundary-breaking cooking in an intimate, high-energy setting. With every edition, Revolver continues to prove that the best nights out don't always come with an encore.
The next chapter in this series sees Chef Jitin Joshi of Revolver join forces with Chef Rita Soueidan of Maisan15. Together, they've crafted an unexpected journey through twelve punchy, playful courses, showcasing a menu that weaves together heritage, technique and instinct. From Duck Fat Potatoes with Kashmiri Chilli to a soul-warming Black Cod Sayadieh, and an indulgent Flourless Chocolate and Cardamom Cake, this is mezze reimagined, where Levant meets spice, and tradition meets fire.
Expect a multi-sensory ride through hot and cold mezze, layered mains, and decadent desserts, all seasoned with stories and served at the chef's counter. Dishes like Vine Leaf Rice with shiitake and cumin raita and Chickpea & Fennel Falafel with pickled kohlrabi reflect Maisan15's earthy, produce-forward cooking, while Revolver brings the heat with bold signatures like Charred Chicken Musakhan and Lamb Rib Nihari with Levant pickles.
The menu, priced at AED 350, is both a homage and a remix, combining Rita's Levantine roots and Jitin's mastery of fire-led Indian cuisine with seasonal ingredients and playful twists. There's Lentil Hummus topped with short rib and pomegranate molasses, and a reimagined Baba Ghanoush lifted with curry leaf furikake. On the sweeter side, a fragrant Burnt Citrus dessert rounds off the experience with orange blossom and saffron yoghurt.
The collaboration with Maisan15 marks a deeply personal moment for Revolver. Nestled in a leafy courtyard in Al Barsha South, Maisan15 is a cult favourite, a café-gallery hybrid founded by artist Rami Farook that's as much a creative hub as it is a restaurant. With Chef Rita at the helm, it has quietly built a reputation for soul-nourishing dishes, warm hospitality and a fiercely loyal community. Bringing Maisan15's essence into Revolver's kitchen is a convergence of two philosophies built on heart, heat, and a love for the unexpected.
With limited seating and no repeats, this is a one-night kitchen takeover, a meeting of minds, and a rare chance to see two distinct culinary styles collide. Book now and taste the magic before it disappears.
When: Thursday, July 17th from 7PM onwards
Offer: 12-course dinner collaboration between Revolver and Maisan15
Price: AED 350 per person

India blocks Pakistani stars' social media accounts again, ban on YouTube channels stays
All Pakistani accounts on X have been blocked in India after briefly being accessible in the past few days, official sources confirmed on Thursday. Just a day after the Instagram and YouTube accounts of several Pakistani celebrities became visible once again in India, the Indian government has reinstated the digital restrictions, citing a 'technical glitch' for their brief reappearance. By Thursday morning, the Instagram and X profiles of stars such as Mawra Hocane, Ahad Raza Mir, and Saba Qamar were once again inaccessible to Indian users, reported India Today. Those attempting to view their pages were met with the message: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.' The move comes in continuation of India's escalating digital and diplomatic restrictions against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. After the attack, India responded with a series of retaliatory measures, including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and the launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror launch pads inside Pakistan. Among the measures was a wide-reaching crackdown on Pakistani media and social media content — encompassing accounts of actors, cricketers, and internet influencers — across Instagram, X, YouTube, and other platforms. Although several of these accounts had recently become accessible again, prompting criticism and questions about their restoration, they are now re-blocked. When users in India try to access these profiles, they are met with a message stating: "Account Withheld. (Name of the account) has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand." On Wednesday, users briefly gained access to X and Instagram accounts of several Pakistani actors and internet personalities, including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor, as well as YouTube channels run by former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar. However, accounts belonging to Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Hania Aamir remained blocked throughout. Additionally, the ban on YouTube also remains, sources said. Earlier in May, the Indian government issued an advisory directing all OTT platforms and digital intermediaries to discontinue content originating from Pakistan. The advisory, dated May 8, 2025, and issued under the IT Rules, 2021, stated that "content hosted or streamed must not threaten India's sovereignty, integrity, national security, or public order." It explicitly instructed media platforms to remove "web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming content" produced in Pakistan, whether on subscription-based or free platforms. Following the brief restoration of access to some Pakistani accounts, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) made an urgent appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a total blackout of all Pakistani social media presence in India. The association called the visibility of such accounts an "insult to the sacrifice of our martyred soldiers" and an "emotional assault" on Indians who have lost loved ones to terror attacks orchestrated by Pakistan. Citing major terror incidents like 26/11, Pulwama, Uri, and the recent Pahalgam attack, AICWA labelled Pakistan a "terrorist nation" and condemned Pakistani artists who, according to them, have "shamelessly spoken against India instead of showing remorse." In their appeal, AICWA put forth three specific demands -- a complete digital blackout of all Pakistani accounts and media channels in India; a ban on all future collaborations or promotions involving Pakistani nationals; and a permanent cultural disconnect from Pakistan as a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces and the families of martyrs.

Sip the Story: Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology Introduces Handcrafted Cocktails Inspired by India's Spirit and Soul
At Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology, every cocktail is more than a drink—it's a journey through India's layered culture, crafted by one of the UAE's finest talents behind the bar. Spearheading this unique cocktail narrative is Rishwathan Kumaravel, Flying Elephant's Bar Manager and Head Mixologist, whose decade of experience has shaped a beverage program that bridges nostalgia, craftsmanship, and innovation. Known for transforming ordinary spirits into storytelling masterpieces, Rishwathan has drawn inspiration from India's rich tapestry—from the bustling streets of Kolkata's Tangra to the serene backwaters of Kerala—to create a lineup of cocktails that evoke memory, place, and emotion. Take for instance the 'Fruit Seller'—a honeyed, zesty concoction with roasted pineapple and palm candy that pays tribute to India's vibrant street fruit vendors, whose cheerful calls and colorful carts mark daily life in local markets. Then there's the 'Orange County Coffee', a tribute to Chikmagalur's legacy of coffee cultivation, blending orange-infused Indian whisky with caramel and tonic to offer a warm yet refreshing sip of heritage. 'Each cocktail is a page from our cultural diary,' says Rishwathan. 'I wanted to go beyond the typical; I wanted every element—the aroma, the garnish, the first sip—to trigger a memory or a story.' The 'Mausambi Hi Ball', crisp and citrusy with a subtle chili twist, is a nod to Mughal-era sharbat traditions, while 'Gulab Jal', made with gulkand and rose essence, captures the cooling summer drinks passed down through generations. For those craving something bolder, the 'Fire Jaan'—coconut-washed bourbon with cardamom bitters—is served with a flame and inspired by the fiery theatrics of Indian street-side celebrations. And the story doesn't end with the menu. Flying Elephant's atmosphere evolves with each day of the week, offering guests immersive experiences that pair perfectly with the cocktail selection: · Monday: Bollywood Lounge Nights with a live Indian band set the tone for a nostalgic start to the week. · Tuesday: Forbidden Tuesdays—a Ladies Night featuring DJ Bling and exclusive offers. · Wednesday: Bombay Velvet Gents Night with live band performance for a masculine twist on vintage glamour. · Thursday: The Elephant's Club – Hotelier, Crew & Media Networking Nights curated for industry professionals. · Friday: Jazz Night comes alive with De Cruz Entertainment and their soulful, sultry sets. · Saturday: The Elephant in the Room- Mystical Brunch with live band followed by an After Party with DJ Bling, transforms the venue into a mystical whimsical world of music, food, and mixology. And throughout the week (Monday to Friday), Business Lunches and Mystic Happy Hours ensure that daytime guests can enjoy just as much flavor and flair as the night crowd. Whether you're here for a celebratory drink, a soulful night out, or a taste of India's hidden histories, Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology is where tradition gets a twist—and every cocktail has a story worth telling. Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology is located at Novotel Dubai Al Barsha, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. For further information, please call +971 54 996 3324or follow @ on Instagram.
