Enjoy a comforting meal at Piehaus
Set within its cosy home at Warehouse 22A, Piehaus has built a loyal following for its handcrafted pies, warm hospitality and sense of familiarity.

Named after the venue’s address, Menu 22 offers four Piehaus favourites for AED 22 each, giving guests the chance to enjoy comforting food and drinks at an affordable price point. The selection includes the Harissa Potato Pie, topped with spicy pepper relish and Omani chips; the sweet and fragrant Caramel Tahina Pie; an Aerocano for coffee lovers; and a Hibiscus Berry Iced Tea for something bright and refreshing.

Expect the unexpected at BO-CA-SU
