GT Burger is Dubai’s newest burger joint. It probably won’t be by the time I finish this review, so frequently are new ones popping up these days. This one though, is one of the gooduns. It’s also a physical restaurant and not one of those faceless, soulless delivery kitchens. Located in Block B of the … Continue reading GT Burger – Dubai Media City
Copper Kettle is a chain of Pakistani restaurants with branches in Barsha Heights, DSO and the one I ordered breakfast from in Dubai Sports City. If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that Friday breakfast for me is almost always South Indian. Not this Friday. With the weather cooling down I thought it was … Continue reading Copper Kettle – Dubai Sports City
The best way to describe newly opened Iranian restaurant, Faras K, is as a diamond in the rough. Because of the huge talent in its kitchen, it has potential to sparkle and shine but it’s not quite there yet. The talent I refer to is Chef Faranak Shafiei, who is a professional chef certified by … Continue reading Faras K – Al Hudaiba and Around
Chinese Palace has come a long way since it first opened its doors at the venerable Al Ghurair Centre back in 1980 – gosh, that’s 33 years ago! It’s spread its originally Taiwanese wings from fancy-pansy dine-in restaurants to mall-based food court outlets to the now-fashionable delivery kitchens, the first of which I ordered from … Continue reading Chinese Palace – Motor City
Madras is more of a cafeteria than a restaurant. It’s also a food bloggers dream. Whilst not in any way Insta-worthy from a visual point of view, it definitely tickles all the Insta g-spots from a culinary point of view. It’s one of those under rated eateries you search for and only find once every … Continue reading Madras – Ras Al Khaimah
As its name suggests, Poolside is the poolside and waterfront bar and restaurant at the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi. Overlooking the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque it gives picturesque a whole new meaning. Usually poolside restaurants offer guests overpriced, mediocre finger food. I won’t argue too much about it being overpriced (AED80 … Continue reading Poolside – Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, Abu Dhabi
Taza is the epitome of this region’s farm to table concept. It’s also how it lives up to its namesake – fresh. I love Taza and have only once been disappointed (not this time). Food buddy and restaurateur, @nicky_rr, entered two Taza chickens in our best roast/grilled chicken challenge the other week, ordering from their … Continue reading Taza – Jebel Ali Village
Wingstop Inc. is a Texan chain of nostalgic, aviation-themed restaurants specializing in chicken wings. Believe it or not there are no less than eight branches scattered around Dubai, including this food truck parked besides Feras Sweets in the Apex Atrium Center in Motor City. The number of delivery bikers mulling around suggested that it’s almost … Continue reading Wingstop – Motor City
Mazaree Al Sham is a meat lovers heaven; its name a giveaway to its Syrian roots. Butchery, delicatessen and restaurant all rolled up in one, it is without a doubt one of the most underrated culinary establishments I have come across in Dubai in recent years. Located next door to Overdose Burger on Jumeriah Road, … Continue reading Mazaree Al Sham – Umm Suqeim
Grillo, not to be mistaken for Griller Grill’O, is a Nando’s wannabe chain of fast-food restaurants which specialises in Fried Style Chicken Without Frying. I don’t know why that marketing slogan of theirs reminds me so much of a line from Bruce Lee’s Enter The Dragon – the art of fighting without fighting: Anyway, their … Continue reading Grillo – Barsha
