Dubai Rating · season 2024–2025

Best city community

A new rating nomination — Best City Community. It is especially close to our hearts, because DZCH itself began as an idea of a community of like-minded people who want to develop the city and grow themselves.

Nomination results

This time our task is no easier than with the entrepreneurs in the previous nomination: there are hundreds, if not thousands, of communities in Dubai. So, as before, we opened nominations to everyone: just write to the rating's Telegram bot.

Voting is as easy as ever: you can vote for as many nominees as you like, but only once for each. To make choosing easier we split the nominees into categories — winners in each category and overall are decided by a simple majority of votes.

KED and Istanbul

KED (Kitchen Every Day) is stylish street food with Russian shawarma and great coffee in the Marina.

Istanbul is a bistro in the Marina with affordable prices, hookahs, Russian-Turkish cuisine and regular Russian-language events, from chess tournaments to business breakfasts.

Both cafés are close in spirit to the DZCH nomination: they host events that bring people together, you'll often meet Russian speakers there, and the food is affordable yet stylish. The restaurants are run by Andrey Merzhalilov, a businessman who made the top 10 Russian-speaking entrepreneurs with the most public support in the previous Dubai Rating nomination.
