At first glance, Forever Rose Café feels like a beautifully illustrated page brought to life. Rendered almost entirely in black and white, the café’s immersive 2D interiors are designed to resemble a hand-drawn sketch, with walls, furniture and architectural details flattening perspective and gently disorienting the senses. It’s a space where reality pauses, inviting guests to step into a carefully crafted fantasy.

Created by entrepreneur and Ebraheem Al Samadi, Forever Rose Café is as much an artistic statement as it is a dining destination. The stark monochrome palette is softened by warm velvet sconces and punctuated with vivid red roses, a contrast that adds romance, depth and a touch of theatrical drama.

More than a photogenic backdrop, the café offers a thoughtfully curated menu of gourmet coffees and delicacies designed for lingering afternoons and unhurried conversations. Al Samadi is known to frequent the space himself, often attending events that reflect his vision of creativity as a lived, shared experience, so there’s always the possibility of a star-spotted moment alongside an espresso.

Located at Boxpark on Al Wasl Road, Forever Rose Café has become a favourite for creatives, romantics and design aficionados alike.
