Restaurant in Dubai Combines Artificial Intelligence and Refined Gastronomy to Create Dishes with Less Waste and Unusual Combinations

A new restaurant promises to change the way we think about gastronomy. Scheduled to open in September in downtown Dubai, WOOHOO calls itself “the restaurant of the future.” Just a few steps from the Burj Khalifa, the place wants to combine artificial intelligence with high-end cuisine.

At WOOHOO, the food will be prepared by humans. But everything else — the menu, ambiance, and even the service — will be run by an AI called Chef Aiman.

According to the creators, the name is a combination of “AI” and “man.” The technology has been trained with decades of research in food science, molecular data, and over a thousand recipes from different culinary traditions.

Even without taste or smell, Chef Aiman uses algorithms to analyze food in parts such as texture, acidity, and umami flavor.

From this, it suggests ingredient combinations considered unusual. The ideas are then tested by human cooks, who taste the dishes and guide adjustments.

This process is led by chef Reif Othman, known in Dubai.

“Their responses to my suggestions help refine my understanding of what works beyond pure data,” Aiman stated during an interview conducted with another AI model.

The project is led by Ahmet Oytun Cakir, CEO of the hospitality company Gastronaut.

According to him, the goal is not to replace human chefs but to collaborate with them. “Human culinary practices will not be replaced, but we believe Aiman will elevate ideas and creativity,” he said.

Another important aspect of the project is combating waste. Aiman has been programmed to create recipes that reuse ingredients typically discarded by restaurants, such as meat trimmings and fat.

The founders of the Restaurant of the Future believe that, in the future, Chef Aiman could be licensed to other establishments around the world, helping to reduce waste and improve sustainability in the kitchen.
