In the three years since Paper Fig first opened, the Emirati-owned business has grown from just 7 staff, to over 70. What could once only seat 30 diners, can now accommodate over 95 hungry foodies at any one time. Paper Fig also has an impressive dedicated parking lot, which can house 30 vehicles. The seasonal menus now feature breakfast, lunch, dinner, and speciality coffees, teas, plus artisanal desserts. There are over 40 dishes to choose from the main menu alone and the restaurant is open from 8am on a daily basis, closing at 11pm Saturday-Wednesday and midnight on Thursdays and Fridays. Thanks to a lack of any other gourmet, foodie concepts in the emirate at the time of opening, and the novel, handcrafted approach Nawal and her kitchen take to each and every dish, Paper Fig became a shining foodie gem in Sharjah. It is known and loved by all. In fact, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah is a big supporter of Paper Fig, and a constant source of inspiration for Nawal. Her Highness has also honored Paper Fig in her presence to launch its very first Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative – The Big Heart Éclair. It is a fundraising campaign wherein Paper Fig sells a Big Heart Éclair for 30 AED per piece or on a higher value should the buyer decides to pay more and all proceeds will go directly to the institution. The creation of The Big Heart Éclair is a symbol of gratitude and commemoration of Paper Fig when Her Highness made a surprise visit to Paper Fig in May 2015 and gave a feedback to Paper Fig’s Founder Nawal Alnuaimi on improving her éclair to which the founder gladly heeded the advice. Paper Fig’s growing popularity arguably ignited the emergence of a “foodie scene” in Sharjah and since Nawal and Ahmed paved the way, more than 20 food concepts have popped up around the now bustling restaurant filled area. Paper Fig’s highlights and favourite achievements to date include a visit from Her Excellency Barbara A. Leaf, U.S. Ambassador to the UAE visiting the shop on October 18, 2016. Climbing to over 57,000 (and counting) followers on Instagram. The Chamber of Commerce selecting Paper Fig as a feature of its prestigious Visit Sharjah Tour (which led to a feature in the UK’s coveted Monocle magazine). Welcoming Sheikha Bodour Bint Sultan Al Qasimi as guest of honour to ‘Brunch with Nawal’ in May 2016. Plus Nawal giving a talk at the TEDxYouth AlQarayen conference. Nawal was also invited to share her experience in food and business at the 2017 Emirates Airlines Festival of Literature. Nawal and Ahmed have big plans for the future and are working on a series of exciting new projects and expansion plans.
