The Aft Galley

THE AFT GALLEY

DUBAI

Our Story

The Aft Galley began at 35,000 feet. In the small kitchen at the back of an aircraft somewhere between departures and arrivals Hayley and Joe met. Long flights turned into long conversations. Shared meals slowly became something more. What started in the aft galley quietly grew into a love story. Joe carried with him the flavours of Lebanon bold generous and made to be shared. Hayley brought her Maltese warmth and steady hospitality. Between travel and time zones they dreamed of building something of their own. When they returned to Malta that dream finally found its home. The Aft Galley is named after the place where it all began. It represents movement connection and the belief that food has the power to bring people together. Lebanese cuisine sits at the heart of what we do without losing fresh ingredients and dishes designed for the table. This restaurant is their journey grounded. A meeting of cultures. A story that started in the sky and continues here with every guest. Welc
