With billions in business, designer wardrobes, and a pink Rolls-Royce, Desi Bling is definitely our new hyper fixation on Netflix.
The hit show has taken the world by storm, with charismatic characters and drama that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The show follows members of Dubai’s elite South Asian community and the stirring spectacles of their glamorous lives. For those of you who are as obsessed with the show as we are, GRAZIA brings you just a few of the spots you may know about from the hit reality show.
GITANO Dubai
Fans of the hit series can instantly recall this iconic setting — the sun-drenched poolside of GITANO Dubai. Nestled in J1 Beach Jumeirah, the restaurant’s private cabanas and laid-back chic atmosphere made it the perfect backdrop for what started as an intimate catch-up and quickly spiralled into an all-out confrontation. Pamala Serena had invited a select group of women to air her ongoing tension with Lailli and Alizey Mirza — but it was the arrival of actress Tejaswi Prakash, who came to the pair’s defence, that sent the afternoon into freefall.
Top Chef Dubai
Leave it to Tejasswi to turn a culinary outing into a debate space. She invited Laili, Alizey and Iryna to Top Chef Dubai – an exclusive cooking studio tucked away in Jumeirah – for an intimate tasting session tied to her potentially new restaurant venture. The elevated yet private setting, known for its hands-on culinary experiences and personal chef services, set the stage for what should have been a relaxed afternoon of sampling and sharing. Instead, as the dishes made their way around the table, so did the tension — the women found themselves rehashing the dramatic events of the night before.
Sohum Wellness Sanctuary
Seeking a reset from the chaos of the season, twin sisters Lailli and Alizey chose Sohum Sanctuary as their backdrop for a drama-free day. Known for its holistic approach to the mind, body and soul, the luxury spa offered exactly the kind of calm the group so desperately needed. However, Pamala’s arrival was met with icy greetings, shattering any hope of a peaceful afternoon, and before long the sanctuary’s tranquil energy was no match for the tension in the room, which then came to involve married couple Dyuti and Iryna.
Ruby Ru by Iris
Ruby Ru is a Dubai restaurant known for its Parisian flair – and it also happened to be the backdrop for perhaps one of the most revealing moments in the show’s first season. Pamala invited Tabinda Sanpal out for dinner, where she shockingly revealed there were rumours spreading about her husband, billionaire Satish Sanpal, getting cosy with another woman at a social outing.
Banya Forrest
After constant relationship drama, Dyuti, Karan and Satish met for a spa day to debrief their dilemmas at Banya Forrest Spa. Surprisingly, the most intriguing news came when Satish unveiled potential plans for a future baby on the way.
Al Maha Resort & Spa
Marking the end of the season, India’s most-watched TV couple, Karan and Tejasswi, officially got engaged after four years of dating at the well-known luxury desert resort Al Maha.
