Surrounded by the striking Al Hajar Mountains, JA Hatta Fort Hotel has long been a haven for those seeking a taste of adventure. Bringing that same spirit to the table, the resort has launched an exclusive Kinara by Vikas Khanna residency at the beloved Jeema, where guests can savour Chef Vikas’ authentic, contemporary Indian creations. Adding a new layer to the experience, the resort introduces a limited-time Kinara Stay & Dine package, starting from AED 900++ per night, with a three-course dinner for two at Kinara and a daily buffet breakfast, shaping a stay defined by flavour, discovery, and a slower pace.
Set within JA Lake View Hotel, Kinara by Vikas Khanna has become one of Dubai’s most distinguished Indian dining experiences. From the moment diners step inside, it is clear something special awaits, as red velvet curtains, golden accents, and an impressive spice display fill the space with warmth and aroma. As captivating as the interiors are, the food remains firmly at centre stage, with a menu that breathes new life into time-honoured dishes through inventive twists, rich storytelling, and culinary mastery.
Launched on March 27th at the inviting Jeema, a specially crafted menu featuring Kinara’s signature dishes gives Hatta residents, day visitors, and guests staying at JA Hatta Fort Hotel the chance to experience Chef Khanna’s culinary craftsmanship firsthand. Served in an atmosphere that effortlessly blends warmth, charm, and natural beauty, this elevated dining experience is set to become a must-try for those seeking refined, flavour-led dining in Hatta.
Designed for those looking to extend the experience beyond the table, the Kinara Stay & Dine at JA Hatta Fort Hotel unfolds at a slower, more considered pace. Available until April 30th, the half board package includes a three-course dinner for two at the residency in Jeema alongside a wholesome daily breakfast, starting from AED 900++ per night, offering a seamless way to experience Kinara in its most immersive setting. Days move between mountain adventures and unhurried moments at the resort, before easing into evenings shaped by signature flavours, shared conversations, and the quiet beauty of Hatta.
The culinary journey begins with a selection of starters that balance comfort with creativity. The Kurkuri Dahi pairs baked yoghurt with kunafa, Medjool dates, and turmeric aioli for a dish that feels both familiar and unexpected, while the Podi Crusted Scallops bring together floral infusions, celeriac cream, and a delicate, nutty crust. Moving into the mains, signature dishes showcase Kinara’s layered approach to flavour, with firm favourites including the velvety Black Dal, slow-cooked for rich depth, alongside the Achari Lamb, where tender meat is paired with caramelised onion, a nigella-fennel blend, and a burst of green mango.
To end on a sweet note, guests can look forward to creations such as Jaggery Rice Kheer with candied pineapple and saffron cream, and Baked Chenna with pistachio sponge and passion fruit.
Sharing his excitement for the upcoming residency, Chef Vikas Khanna said, ‘At Kinara, every dish is deeply rooted in memory, shaped by the flavours, stories, and traditions that define India’s culinary landscape. Our menu seeks to preserve that authenticity while presenting it in a way that feels thoughtful, contemporary, and deeply personal. Bringing Kinara to JA Hatta Fort Hotel offers a unique opportunity to experience these flavours in a completely different setting, where the stillness of the mountains invites a slower, more immersive connection with the food, the surroundings, and the moment itself.’
There is something especially fitting about discovering Kinara by Vikas Khanna in Hatta, where bold landscapes, quiet moments, and a spirit of exploration come together so naturally. As a seamless extension of JA Hatta Fort Hotel’s experience-led hospitality, the exclusive residency and flavour-focused stay offer a rare chance to experience one of Dubai’s most celebrated Indian dining concepts like never before. Available for a limited time only, make sure to claim your seat at the table while Kinara is still in town.
