I didn’t know Jelly Belly is now also an ice cream parlour franchise. I’ve always associated them with jellybeans, from where it seems they take inspiration for their 50+ ice cream flavours, Tutti Frutti and Very Cherry included. Innovation is that the heart of their foray into the ice cream market with dairy-free sorbets, sugar-free … Continue reading Jelly Belly – Bluewaters Island

If driving there (advisable in this weather) it’s best to park in visitor’s parking area of the Park Island Residence where the restaurant is located; there are signs just outside the parking area which will guide you … Continue reading Massimo’s – Dubai Marina

This outlet, located in the Carrefour end food court of MOE, is one of seven Doner & Gyros branches in Dubai. It had been a while since my teenage daughter force fed us German Doner Kabab … Continue reading Doner & Gyros – MOE, Barsha
In my mind Burger Fuel is one of the best mainstream burger franchises out there. Their burgers have been consistently good across all the branches I have visited including this one in Motor City. My favourite burger is the C N Cheese which, as its name suggests, is basically a cheeseburger. Of course, the boys … Continue reading Burger Fuel – Motor City
Daily Express is a chain of Pakistani restaurants famous for its value for money, all you can eat buffets. This branch in Cluster G, JLT bucks the trend by offering à la carte only and, you know what? I find it’s infinitely better.
