Yalumba, at the venerable Le Méridien airport, is famous for Brunchology, an OTT brunch party which made a lot of noise when it was first launched (more than) a couple of years ago. I think the restaurant, which takes its name from the South Australian wine region, should also be acknowledged for its excellent breakfast … Continue reading Yalumba – Garhoud
I really don’t understand the logic of the Noodle House’s delivery kitchen in Barsha South (a stone’s throw from Miracle Garden). We have ordered from them twice now and on both occasions our food has arrived late and has not nearly been as good as it should – not for the ridiculous prices they charge … Continue reading Noodle House, The – Barsha South
LakeView is a waterfront restaurant with a view to die for. Located on the bank of the Creek on the other side of Dubai, some would argue that it is the F&B life and soul of the venerable Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club in Garhoud. Once upon a time it was THE place to … Continue reading LakeView – Garhoud
Everyone has their favourite burger joint. I have a list of favourites and Shake Shack has been very near the top of that list from the second I bit into my first Shack Burger when they opened in Mall of the Emirates a couple of years ago. Nothing has changed since then. I still get … Continue reading Shake Shack – The Beach, JBR
Truck Adda is a Pakistani restaurant with one of the wildest, coolest interiors I have seen. Modelled after the (almost) psychedelic truck art scene found throughout the Indian subcontinent, you’ll either love or hate its décor. I love it. Truck Adda is located in Cluster D, easily my favourite culinary corner of JLT. You look … Continue reading Truck Adda – JLT
Bite Me Burger Co. is a delivery-kitchen based in Motor City. There’s one in Marina too. These boys specialise in sliders, the mini-me of burgers. What attracted me to them was the coocoo names they have for their sliders – Bloody Mary, Hail Caesar or one of the two I ordered, Jack Daniels – the … Continue reading Bite Me Burger Co. – Motor City
I think it’s the thin crust which makes 800 Pizza one the most consistent pizza deliveries to our home. Mind you, I don’t order pizza that often, but my wife and daughter do – wife: from 800 Pizza and daughter: from…um…Pizza Hut. Thankfully, wife usually gets her way. The most common pizzas she orders from … Continue reading 800 Pizza – Arabian Ranches
Chicks ‘N’ Friends is brought to us by the same creative folks who brought us Catch22 and Operation: Falafel. This Motor City delivery station is the restaurants reach across from JBR where its first and only branch is located. My household loves fried chicken and we order from KFC, religiously. We’re not hung up on … Continue reading Chicks ‘N’ Friends – Motor City
Biriyani Wa Kebab is a family friendly Indian restaurant which offers so much more than the biriyani and kebab its name suggests. Located next door to thali masters, Rasoi Ghar, in the venerable Zainal Mohebi Plaza on Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road, the restaurant is spacious, handsomely appointed and includes a party hall in the … Continue reading Biriyani Wa Kebab – Karama
This new branch at the entrance of the China Court at Ibn Battuta Mall is probably Al Mallah’s fifth or sixth. It’s similar in look and size to the Taqato Mexican outlet opposite and houses up to ten tables, the outer three which rub shoulders with the entrance of Shakespeare’s. Cinema goers will find it … Continue reading Al Mallah – Jebel Ali Village
