A note from Bill · Cravd Dinners
Come eat with us.
I’m Bill. I build Cravd, the Dubai food app where friends rate spots S to C.
I want to put 16 to 24 people who love food at one long table, at a spot we rate highly. Good food, and people worth meeting.
There’s no date or venue yet. When this list reaches about 40 names, I’ll set the date. You’ll hear first.

Here’s the plan
A table for 16 to 24
One long table, so you can talk to the people next to you.A spot we already rate highly
I pick the venue from our guides. Your votes help. Money never touches a tier.Bring one friend
They join the list too. Once you’re on it, you can send them this page.A date once the list has about 40 names
Everyone on the list gets the date and the venue by email, before anyone else. Then it goes on this page.
