I am still trying to figure out how Malabar Paris got its name; no one at the restaurant could tell me. Having been there twice now I can assure you that there is no French Connection whatsoever. In the same breath let me also assure you that this is without a doubt one of the … Continue reading Malabar Paris – Karama
Indian By Nature or IBN is a vegetarian “pan-Indian” restaurant with a gourmet touch (whatever that means). Located on the Woodlands end of Street 20 B in Karama, its interior is saved from mediocrity by the bright blue motifs on its walls and a flotilla of colourful chairs.

One can enter the restaurant from … Continue reading Wawa Dining – Barsha
Kabab Karachi is a small, one table affair in Sharjah with something of a cult following. Since dining there last week, I am still trying to figure out why – probably affordability. Our mixed grill was like the Top of the Pops of their menu and included Malai, Bihari and Reshmi – mainly chicken with … Continue reading Kabab Karachi – Al Nahda, Sharjah
