The Eatery is the Four Points by Sheraton’s all-day-dining restaurant. This Sheikh Zayed Road branch is one of two Eateries, the other being at their Mankhool hotel. And this Eatery, in my books, has claim to the BEST MASALA OMELETTE in the entire…Trade Centre Area. Located on the ground floor of the hotel, Eatery is … Continue reading Eatery – Trade Centre Area
After a delicious meal at Volt Kitchen, I still couldn’t quite make out what ‘type’ of restaurant it is – American? Sushi Bar? Asian? I think it may be an upmarket jack of all trades. But rather than being a master of none, it does a number of things rather well. The interior of the … Continue reading Volt Kitchen – Jumeirah 3
Yo!! Momos is a small Nepalese themed restaurant in Cluster R of JLT. If you find yourself wandering around unable to locate the restaurant, it’s because they haven’t yet changed the previous signboard – Laqmouche. The interior of Yo!! Momos is really…um, yellow. It has that forgivable element of unfinished DIY one normally associates with … Continue reading Yo!! Momos – JLT
Al Tawasol is a value for money mandi restaurant near the Clock Tower on Abu Baker Siddiq Street. Best described as rough and ready, it is 100% NOT the kind of restaurant you want to come to on date night. There are a couple of tables and chairs at the front of the restaurant, after … Continue reading Al Tawasol – Al-Rigga
Le Petit Belge is one of JLT’s hidden gems. Located at lake level of the Pullman Hotel in Cluster T, the restaurant (if you’re familiar with Dubai’s Belgian themed gastropubs) looks and feels more like a branch of Maison Mathis than the BBC (Belgian Beer Café). And that may be because both are owned by … Continue reading Le Petit Belge – JLT
SMK (Smoked Meat Kitchen) is a recently opened smokehouse shack in La Mer. Located towards the northern end, not far from the white bouncy bubbles and Five Guys, SMK offers diners three shaded outdoor benches with a spectacular beachfront view. Blessed with a constant sea breeze, SMK is still okay to dine at during the … Continue reading SMK (Smoked Meat Kitchen) – La Mer, Jumeirah-1
Moylo’s is one of my favourite burger joints in Dubai. The fact that its home-grown makes it even more special. So, I was very excited to learn they have opened a branch in JLT, somewhere I spend a lot of time. It took quite a hunt to find them, the reason being that they’re operating … Continue reading Moylo’s – JLT
Friday brunch at Ají, one of Dubai’s best known (and loved) Nikkei restaurants, is nothing less than amazing. Nikkei cuisine (for those like me who are not big on fusion) is a fusion of Peruvian and Japanese food. Ají, just so you know, gets its name from the famous chilli peppers which much of Peruvian … Continue reading Ají – Palm Jumeirah
Masti is a must visit restaurant on the southernmost end of La Mer. It was the first of the La Mer restaurants to have a liquor licence and as a consequence has a splendid bar on the second of its two stories. It is also the only La Mer establishment I know of which has … Continue reading Masti – La Mer, Jumeirah-1
The food and service at newly opened Makarem are outstanding, portion sizes are mammoth. Located on the service road near the Emirates ID Centre on Hessa in al-Barsha, Makarem is a two-story affair with the ground floor dedicated to reception, order taking and (I’m assuming) the kitchen, and the top floor a dining area, complete … Continue reading Makarem – Al-Barsha
