Vocal duo Karen & Arina will make a special live appearance on Wednesday, 19 November 2025, at 19:30 (+04) in the intimate setting of Babushka Restaurant within Pavilion JBR. The pair have built a reputation across Europe for reinterpreting jazz, soul and pop classics—songs like “Fly Me To the Moon” and “Summertime” are given new life in their hands. Their style blends refined vocal harmony and emotional nuance, making this performance ideally suited for listeners who appreciate subtlety and lyric-driven arrangements. While the focus is music, the restaurant setting also allows for dinner and drinks, so the evening has the feel of a seated, high-end lounge experience rather than a standing-room club night. Seating is limited so arriving early gives the best chance to secure a table close to the stage.
Event details and venue atmosphere
The evening opens with doors at roughly 19:30, and the live set is scheduled for the two-hour window between 19:30 and 21:30 on the same day, Wednesday 19 November 2025. The venue, Babushka Restaurant, sits at Pavilion at The Beach, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), offering a beach-adjacent vibe combined with sleek, modern lounge décor. Because the event blends a restaurant meal with live music, guests should expect a more relaxed rollout: dinner, then show, followed by optional drinks or a stroll along the waterfront afterwards. (Suitable for couples, small groups, and solo music-lovers; less suitable for families with young children due to the lounge format.) The early end time of 21:30 means you wrap the evening while still fresh and avoid late-night fatigue or heavy traffic exit. It remains advisable to reserve your table ahead of arrival since late bookings risk sitting further from the stage or missing the best drinks menu.
Ticketing and cost considerations
Tickets for this Jazz Lounge Night are listed at around 99 AED for early-bird pricing, rising to approximately 199 AED closer to the date. These amounts cover the show only, so dinner and beverages will bring additional cost. Typical mains at this venue may range from around 70 AED to 150 AED per person and soft drinks or cocktails often fall in the 25 AED to 50 AED range. If you include a two-course meal and a couple of drinks, a realistic total spend for two guests might fall into the 350 AED to 600 AED range. Keep in mind that ticket prices and food/drink tariffs are subject to change, so treat current figures as approximate. Booking early both the ticket and a seated table for dinner helps smooth the overall experience.
Arrival, venue access and transport tips
Babushka is located at Pavilion at The Beach, JBR, which is accessible from most parts of Dubai. From Downtown Dubai or Business Bay you should allow about 25 to 30 minutes by taxi outside heavy evening traffic, with fares typically around 45 AED to 80 AED depending on origin and route. From Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah the ride is shorter—around 10 to 15 minutes and perhaps 25 AED to 45 AED by taxi—so for guests staying nearby the venue is particularly convenient. While parking is available at The Beach JBR, evening crowds around 18:30 onward often make walk-in parking more challenging. Thus, using a ride-hail service or taxi may save stress. Arrive in good time (ideally by 19:00) to settle in, order your meal and be ready before the music begins at 19:30.
Weather, clothing and closing advice
On Wednesday 19 November 2025 in Dubai, the weather is expected to remain dry and warm, with daytime highs around 32 °C and evening temperatures dropping to about 22 °C. A light jacket or shawl is sensible because indoor air-conditioning may feel cool compared with the beachfront ambient temperature. Since the event is indoor and purely musical, comfortable semi-smart attire works best (smart-casual rather than formal). Footwear should allow for a brief walk from taxi drop-off or parking to the restaurant entrance at JBR. Traffic tends to build along the major access roads from about 18:30 to 19:30, so allowing extra buffer time is wise. Public transport is less convenient for this location, so most visitors will choose taxi or ride-hail. Make your reservation and arrival plans well ahead so that seating, food and timing align smoothly with the 19:30 performance window. According to recent suggestions from the team behind www.few.ae, guests who book early, plan the meal-and-music combo and factor in Dubai evening traffic enjoy a significantly more relaxed lounge night experience.
