JAKARTA - Dubai, a city known for its luxury and culinary uniqueness, is again presenting something extraordinary. A new restaurant managed to steal the public's attention with a very extraordinary offering.

Recently, an Indian businessman, Sucheta managed to steal the show with a very luxurious offer at his cafe in Dubai.

Reported by VOI from the ET Now News page on Thursday, November 28, 2024, a cafe called Boho Cafe, located in the Emirates Financial Towers, Dubai, visitors can enjoy a cup of Gold Karak Tea for 5,000 AED or IDR 21.6 million.

This luxurious tea is served in a pure silver cup and decorated with 24 carat gold leaves. This of course immediately attracted attention and became a topic of conversation on social media.

The Boho Cafe offers a combination of Indian street food at affordable prices and luxury dishes to meet a variety of customer tastes.

"We want to create something extraordinary for those who want to enjoy luxury while still serving the wider community," Sharma said during an interview with the Khaleej Times.

This gold tea is not just a drink, but also equipped with a 24-karat edible gold-plated chalissant. Customers who enjoy this tea are advised to take home a silver cup as a memento.

For those who want to try luxury at a more affordable price, the Boho Cafe also offers a version of tea without a silver cup for AED 150 or Rp649 thousand rupiah.

In addition to tea, the menu in this cafe offers a variety of luxury all-gold dishes, such as burgers, ice cream, various breads, to drinking water that uses gold.

A video uploaded by a food blogger shows a luxurious dish at the Boho Cafe and quickly goes viral on social media.

This video triggers various reactions, ranging from interest to anger. Some people view the experience as unique luxury. Others criticized it as excessive waste.

"I never imagined in my wildest dream that I had to borrow money just to drink tea," wrote the netizen.

"Whether it's gold or not, in the end it will be thrown into the toilet too," said another netizen.

In addition to joking reactions, some users expressed concerns, "Should I report this to customs before flying?".

While others questioned the very high price. They felt the tea even though it was served with gold and silver, the price shouldn't be more than 700 AED or IDR 3 million.

Although gold carak tea and related dishes have become popular, people's opinions remain divided. Some people believe that the sensation of enjoying tea served with gold in a luxurious atmosphere is comparable to the price paid. However, some see it as unnecessary luxury and too excessive.
