  5. NALA: Fast Meets Fancy...

Grab-and-go just got a glow-up. Casually chic, refreshingly quick, and preposterously tasty

Tashas Group presents a new community-born project, NALA, a fancy canteen that flips grab-and-go food on its head. Let’s take a tasty trip to the heart of Alserkal, where casually fancy, pretty hasty, but seriously tasty meets a refreshing twist on those everyday cravings.

Starting January 7, 2025, NALA opens its doors for its highly anticipated Dress Rehearsal that’s anything but ordinary. Still fine-tuning, tweaking, and adding those little touches that make every bite so satisfying, guests are welcome to come by, grab a bite to eat, and be part of the action.

For the entire month of January, before the venue’s official launch in February, NALA will welcome guests to chow down, and gather honest feedback on their experience. It’s the “rehearsal dinner” not to be missed, and those who take part are in for special treats and more.

NALA is different from the average fast-casual joint. Sure, it’s quick—but that’s where the “quick” stops. This food is made to order and served fresh, making sure you will never have to compromise on taste ever again. Think comfort food with a twist, soul food that feels good and tastes even better. Keeping things fast with a touch of class, guests can expect internationally-inspired cuisine that caters to every mood. Whether it’s a satisfying breakfast like the Creamy Cornwith crispy corn fritters, a sweet start to the day with the Pistachio Bostock, or something a little more indulgent like the Beef Patty Baguette, NALA is the guilty pleasure that will have guests coming back for seconds (and thirds).

The beautiful space has indoor and outdoor dining options, inviting guests to drop by, day or night, for a quick bite. Whether it’s soaking up the lively atmosphere indoors or enjoying the creative, artsy vibe of Alserkal Avenue from the outdoor seating, NALA is the perfect setting for any occasion, casually chic and brimming with good vibes.

​​As the first fast-casual concept under the Tashas Group umbrella, NALA sets out to redefine what quick dining can be. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about creating an experience where quality meets speed and every dish is crafted with care. NALA offers a refreshing escape from the ordinary, proving that a tasty munch on a time crunch that can still feel indulgent is not an unfeasible task.

Whether on the move or having time to linger, NALA welcomes guests for its own version of a soft launch; something exciting, something different, and absolutely NALA. Come early, come hungry, and join the queue.
