El Derwandi, the beloved character from the 1970s Lebanese TV show “El Denye Hek,” became famous for his zest for life, love of great food, and enjoyment of good company. Always seen with a shisha in hand, he spent his days at a café, recounting favorite stories and sharing jokes. Today, Derwandi embodies this cherished personality, combining it with a passion for Lebanese cuisine and a dedication to sharing it with the Abu Dhabi community from the heart of the city, the Corniche.
