In the UAE, where cultural diversity and culinary traditions from around the world are abundantly represented, pancakes (or their equivalents) can be found in numerous restaurants, cafes, and even specialized establishments. Although Maslenitsa is traditionally a Slavic holiday, in the Emirates, thanks to the large number of expats from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and other countries, many venues may offer special menus or promotions during this period. Here are some ideas on where you can enjoy pancakes during Maslenitsa 2025:

1. Russian Restaurants and Cafes

In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, there are several restaurants specializing in Russian cuisine where you are likely to find pancakes with traditional fillings (sour cream, caviar, jam, honey, etc.).

«Russian House» (Dubai)
«Teremok» (Dubai)
«Matryoshka» (Abu Dhabi)

2. Eastern European Establishments

Restaurants offering Ukrainian, Belarusian, or Polish cuisine may also delight you with pancakes.

«Kazan» (Dubai)
«Khata Ukraina» (Dubai)

3. Brunch Restaurants and Cafes

Many international restaurants and cafes in the UAE include pancakes in their breakfast and brunch menus. Check if they can prepare something closer to traditional Slavic pancakes.

4. Food Pop-Ups and Thematic Events

During Maslenitsa, food pop-ups or special events dedicated to Slavic cuisine are often held in the Emirates. Keep an eye on announcements on social media and event websites.

5. Home Delivery

If you prefer to enjoy pancakes in the comfort of your home, many restaurants and delivery services (such as WEE, Deliveroo, Talabat, Zomato) offer pancakes on their menus. You can also order homemade pancakes from private chefs or bakers specializing in Slavic cuisine.

6. Special Hotel Promotions

Some hotels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi may organize thematic brunches or dinners in honor of Maslenitsa. Watch for announcements from hotels such as:

Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts
Ritz-Carlton
Four Seasons

Tip:

Check for information closer to the dates of Maslenitsa (usually February-March), as many establishments may announce special offers only a few weeks before the event.
