Established with a philosophy based on creativity and boundary-pushing, RIKAS aims to nurture a culture of culinary innovation, authentic hospitality, and family values across the Group.
Founded almost a decade ago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, RIKAS is the brainchild of the visionary young Parisian Rizwan Kassim, with who, Pierre Pirajean and Helena Paraboschi, would be the team to help thrust Rizwan into the field of restaurants. Ten years ago, the trio teamed up for the brand which is a solid name on the well-heeled Saint-Honore dining scene. Long before Dubai became the region’s dining capital, they had spotted the potential of the dynamic Gulf city from Paris. Since then, the Group has become vital in Dubai’s restaurant scene.
With its diverse portfolio ranging from French and Portuguese to Japanese and Middle Eastern cuisines, the iconic brand is now expanding further afield into markets including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Europe, Morocco, United Kingdom.
