At the heart of the establishment’s innovation is Chef Aiman, an AI trained on decades of food science, molecular gastronomy, and thousands of global recipes. This culinary “brain” designs menus that fuse diverse flavours – reimagining sushi with unexpected textures, crafting vibrant Peruvian-Mexican taco mashups, and experimenting with sustainable ingredients like meat trimmings and fats often discarded in traditional kitchens.
But dining at WOOHOO isn’t just about what’s on your plate. Its futuristic environment, with dynamic blue lighting that shifts in response to the mood, volumetric art installations that blur the lines between physical and digital, and cyberpunk-inspired private lounges like “Spock,” transport guests into a near-future world.
“The goal isn’t to replace chefs but to elevate creativity,” says Ahmet Oytun Cakir, co-founder of WOOHOO and CEO of hospitality company Gastronaut. At WOOHOO, artificial intelligence is woven not just into the menu, but the mood, movement, and storytelling, delivering a truly next-level dining journey where technology and craftsmanship converge.
This marriage of technology, sustainability, and art creates a new kind of restaurant, where every element, from the glowing bronze-toned furniture to the panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline, is meticulously designed to surprise and delight.
