Andaliman on Level 24 at One Za'abeel

Andaliman has a new home at One&Only One Za'abeel in Dubai. What's On reported the move on 24 September 2026, after The National covered the relocation earlier the same week. The Indonesian room left its former poolside spot and now sits on Level 24 of The Link, about 100 metres above the city.

This is not a quiet shuffle of chairs. It is a named climb. Same Indonesian kitchen story. A higher room. City views. A Sambal Trolley that rolls tableside so guests pick their chilli paste and their heat.

One Za'abeel, The Link, and the climb upstairs

Andaliman sits on Level 24 of The Link at One&Only One Za'abeel in Za'abeel, Dubai. What's On and The National both place the room there after the move from the poolside setting. Retail and Leisure International reported the relocation earlier in 2026, noting the Indonesian restaurant from husband-and-wife team Gianluigi and Mutianah Susapti took the vacant floor once held by Thai restaurant DuangDy.

What's On lists daily service from 12pm to 11pm. The One&Only dining page lists the same window and takes reservations on +971 4 666 1617 or reservations@thelinkdubai.com. Follow @andalimandubai for the night-to-night picture. That is useful detail for buyers briefing a long lunch, a client table with a view, or a birthday that needs Indonesian heat without a stiff hotel dining room script.

The emotional problem this room solves is simple. Plenty of Za'abeel briefs stall between a poolside lunch that feels too casual for the occasion and a sky room that feels cold. Andaliman sells the bridge. Indonesian craft. Height. Heat you choose at the table.

Chef Ismawan Dzabir, rendang, and coconut-husk charcoal

Chef de cuisine Ismawan Dzabir leads the kitchen. What's On and The National both name slow-braised beef rendang with coconut, turmeric, and ginger, plus locally sourced seafood grilled over coconut-husk charcoal. The menu draws on flavours from across the Indonesian archipelago, not a single plate built for photos alone.

Theatre sits in the room as well as on the plate. Retail and Leisure International describes an open kitchen with a coconut husk grill and classic wok stations. Rope trellises, raw stone, woven soft furnishings, teak furniture, and traditional carving details point back to the islands the kitchen is cooking from. Buyers can brief the feeling. Indonesian. High above Za'abeel. Open kitchen. Charcoal and wok. The other side of the table understands the night they are buying.

The Sambal Trolley and heat you choose

What's On and The National both flag a Sambal Trolley that rolls between tables with Indonesian chilli pastes. Guests choose flavour and heat level at the table. That is not a side note. It is the drama of the service. The guest becomes the hero of their own plate. The kitchen and floor facilitate the heat.

Jeopardy for a buyer is familiar. Book a room that only sells a skyline and the food feels secondary. Book a kitchen that only sells spice and the table feels like a tasting lab. A Level 24 Indonesian room with city views and a trolley that lets each guest dial the burn is the brief that used to die across forty chats named final.

What this means for Kattegat buyers and sellers

Buyers, start with the feeling you want, not a capacity cell. Za'abeel. One&Only One Za'abeel. The Link. Level 24. Andaliman. When the brief is Indonesian sharing that should feel warm and theatrical rather than stiff, with city views and heat chosen at the table, you now have doors that are open and a room that is named.

Sellers, read the floor. Coconut-husk charcoal. Wok stations. A Sambal Trolley that needs people who can hold a room. Rendang that takes time. Seafood that needs fire control. If your story is Indonesian kitchen craft, floor presence around a trolley, or service that can brief a high-up client table without losing the soul of the islands, this is the market moving at One Za'abeel.

Kattegat sits in the middle. Venues need people who show up. Talent needs rooms that book. Planners need one place where both sides tell the story straight, not forty WhatsApp threads named final.

We did not invent Dubai hospitality. We turned the trade we already live into a system buyers and sellers can run from the pocket. Floors like Andaliman on Level 24 of The Link are why the marketplace exists.

Book the Link, book the table

If you are locking an Indonesian night above Za'abeel, a client lunch with a view, or talent for a room that carries charcoal, wok, and a sambal trolley, start with the plate and the feeling, not capacity alone.
