La Cheffe
Paris-trained chef Ruba Khoury—cheffe/owner of Dirty Lemon—combines her refined technical skills with the rustic essence of her ancestral Palestinian palate to create a modern, easy, Mediterranean menu. For her first 10 years in Paris, Khoury worked in some of the top kitchens of Paris including Frenchie, Septime, and Yam’Tcha, all Michelin-starred restaurants. In 2019, Dirty Lemon was born.
In February 2026, Khoury won the title of Top Chef Arabia Season 9.
