VAGA is a refined dining and nightlife destination on Bluewaters Island, Dubai, set just beneath the iconic Ain Dubai. Taking its name from the word “vagabond,” VAGA celebrates exploration by blending Armenian and Middle Eastern culinary traditions in a bold, modern way. The menu is rich in heritage yet forward-thinking, featuring standout dishes like beef-filled Manti dumplings with spiced yogurt and tomato sauce, and Imam Bayaldi stuffed aubergine with onion and garlic. The venue spans two levels: the ground floor offers a laid-back dining setting with open kitchens, while the upper level transforms into a lively lounge with DJ-led evenings. Interiors reflect the fusion concept, combining contemporary design with cultural elements, and offering sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf. VAGA’s unique selling point is its ability to fuse elevated cuisine with a high-energy social experience, making it a go-to destination for both discerning diners and nightlife enthusiasts in Dubai.
