STK is the One Group's modern-steakhouse format, with outposts in Las Vegas, NYC, London, Miami, and now Atlantis The Royal Dubai (opened 2023). The format combines steakhouse cooking — dry-aged beef, prime cuts, classic sides — with a DJ-driven dining-room energy that makes it as much nightlife venue as restaurant. Dinner runs to 1am.

The cuts are the headline. STK runs three sizes per cut (small/medium/large), with prime tenderloin, ribeye, NY strip, and a wagyu selection. Sides are the classic American steakhouse spectrum (truffle mac, creamed spinach, mushroom risotto). The cocktail program is genuinely strong.

Pricing AED 450-800pp typical. Energy is loud, social, and DJ-driven — not a quiet date-night room. The Friday/Saturday late-service slot (after 9pm) is when STK's nightlife format shows.

Must Order

  • Wagyu Filet (medium) AED 480
    A5 wagyu, the menu signature. Order medium-rare; medium is the upper limit.
  • Bone-In Ribeye (large) AED 685
    550g dry-aged bone-in. The sharing-portion option.
  • Truffle Mac & Cheese AED 95
    Black truffle, four-cheese — the must-order steakhouse side.
  • STK Caesar (tableside) AED 105
    Tableside Caesar with anchovy, parmesan, fresh-cracked egg.

Final Verdict

STK Dubai delivers steakhouse-meets-nightlife format successfully. The cuts are quality, the cocktails are strong, the room energy is high. AED 450-800pp typical; better as group dinner than date-night choice. Book 2-3 weeks ahead.

Not currently — STK Dubai is not in the 2026 Michelin Guide. The format is steakhouse-nightlife, not Michelin fine-dining.

How much does STK Dubai cost?

AED 450-800pp typical. A 4-person dinner with two ribeyes (large), 4 sides, drinks lands around AED 600-750pp.

How far ahead to book?

2-3 weeks Friday/Saturday. Weekday seats within a week. Bar seating walk-in friendly until 9pm.

Halal?

All beef halal-certified including wagyu cuts. Full cocktail program.

What's the energy like?

Loud, social, DJ-driven — especially after 9pm Fri/Sat. Earlier dinner (6:30-8pm) is calmer; late dinner is full nightlife format.
