3Fils was founded by two Emirati restaurateurs alongside chef Akmal Anuar. It is one of Dubai's most celebrated Emirati-founded restaurants, a notable distinction in a dining scene largely led by international operators. The restaurant opened in late November 2016 at Jumeirah Fishing Harbour.

It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand (2023, 2024, 2025), was named Forbes Top 10 Coolest Places to Eat (2019), and won TimeOut Dubai Best Asian Restaurant three years running (2018, 2019, 2020).

Absolutely. The small-plates format is ideal for sharing, making 3Fils a great choice for groups. Tables accommodate various group sizes, though larger parties should be prepared for a possible wait during peak hours since the restaurant is walk-in only. The casual, communal atmosphere encourages a relaxed group dining experience.
3Fils sits in the premium casual category, exceptional quality at approachable prices. Expect to spend around AED 150-250 per person for a satisfying meal of shared small plates. This positions 3Fils as more affordable than luxury Japanese restaurants in Dubai like Nobu or Hoseki, while delivering award-winning quality recognised by Michelin and the 50 Best list.
No. 3Fils operates on a walk-in-only basis, no reservations are accepted. This is a core part of the restaurant's identity: everyone is welcome, first come, first served. During peak hours (especially Thursday and Friday evenings), expect a short wait. The relaxed, no-pretense atmosphere is part of the 3Fils experience.
