AI Chef Runs Dubai Restaurant with Futuristic Dining
There's a new restaurant in Dubai called Woohoo that uses artificial intelligence to create its menu and dining experience.
The restaurant, opened by Ahmet Oytun Cakir, is controlled by an AI chef named Aiman, which was trained on thousands of flavor notes and global techniques.
The restaurant has a futuristic theme with screens displaying a sci-fi Dubai skyline and holographic effects.
The menu includes experimental dishes like the Dinosaur Heart, a tartare of Angus beef tenderloin with fugu and otoro that pulses like a heartbeat.
The restaurant also transforms into a private dance floor after midnight on weekends.
The AI chef, Chef Aiman, is built on a custom AI model named Umai and continues to learn, even exhibiting preference shifts and occasional moods.
Woohoo, an AI-driven restaurant, opened in Dubai near the Burj Khalifa on 19 November 2025.
The restaurant is controlled by an AI chef named Aiman, which creates recipes and manages the dining experience.
A four-course meal at Woohoo costs between 500 and 700 AED (₹15,000-17,000).
The menu includes experimental dishes like the Dinosaur Heart and Molecular Burrata, as well as futuristic desserts.
The restaurant transforms into a private dance floor after midnight on weekends, featuring new digital art each month.
