We’re back with another list of homegrown and small restaurants to support.
Local businesses, restaurants, and shops are the backbone of any economy. Lovin Dubai is doing its part and using its platform to promote local restaurants in the UAE.
That’s why Lovin Dubai has launched Lovin Business Bounce Back, a campaign that aims to support businesses affected by the economic impact of COVID-19.
Lovin Dubai will be rolling out one article a week to highlight a business. We were blown away by the number of nominations, so this is just a small shout out to the companies that we couldn’t choose for the bigger feature.
