Catering from the family behind Al Fanar

Table 5 is the catering company of the Al Fanar family, sister to Al Fanar Restaurant & Cafe. Al Fanar opened in 2011 to bring back the flavours of the UAE in the 1960s with age-old family recipes, and now has five branches across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Table 5 brings that hospitality to your own venue, and you'll find the Al Fanar Salad on our menus too.
