About Us
Founded in late November 2016, 3FILS is piloted by a team who live by a diehard daringness to be different, to offer a story akin to the ‘2 cents worth’ opinion of dining in Dubai’ with every bite.
With harbour-side community style dining, 3FILS serves up premium Asian dishes with a Japanese twist as its focus.
For the many, we comfortably seat and feed over 100 people. The 3FILS team is a family, available whenever you need them for anything, removing the ‘personal waiter’ vibe of hospitality. They will help elevate your dining experience with a sense of comfort, discovery and sharing. No matter your attire, our home is your home and the doors will always be open for you.

He tirelessly slings perfect sushi rolls, indomie and marinated lamb ribs every night in the kitchen.
