My passion for home cooked food is one that is deeply ingrained, passed down to me through generations of formidable women in my life.

Over the years these special moments and the sharing of recipes has imprinted a deep passion for food, cooking and the kitchen that is my sanctuary.

The recipes shared with me have made my kitchen a place to welcome a constant circle of family and friends for home cooked meals with cultural influences from the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.

In 2012, a time when independent cafes were only just emerging in Dubai, I established Roseleaf to offer homemade goodness with the special touches as you might expect in your hometown.

All fuelled by the best specialty coffee I could source locally and roasted especially for us every week.
