Our Story

A coastline of flavour

Kerala's backwaters and coastline have fed families for centuries with recipes passed hand to hand. Theeram brings that same coastal table to Dubai — from Alleppey's fish curries to Kozhikode's biryani — each dish grounded in the produce of the shore.

Theeram means "shore" in Malayalam — the line where the sea meets home. It's where our founder's grandmother taught her the first rasam, and where this kitchen still begins every recipe.

The fish curry tastes exactly like my grandmother's kitchen in Kochi. Rare to find that in Dubai.

Booked the private room for a birthday — the sadya spread was beautiful and the service never missed a beat.

Best biryani in JLT, hands down. The masala is layered just right, not overpowering.
