Quite okay in terms of all-day dining experience for breakfast: Restaurant Vista (9. February 2018)
The Vista all day dining restaurant doesn’t really sound appealing to me as the concept of buffet and all day dining isn’t something I’m particularly fond of. However, the Vista is also the breakfast restaurant of the Ajman Saray and the selection is actually quite decent. And where do you get ice cream for breakfast? […]
Decent location for a late-night dinner: Restaurant Mejhana (8. February 2018)
There aren’t many restaurants open in the Ajman Saray, A Luxury Collection Hotel which still serve food after 11pm but the Restaurant Mejhana does. Luckily. I went for the “Hummus Lahme (traditional hummus served with lamb cubes seared in ghee with pine nuts)” (47 AED) as a starter and it was good. The meat was […]
Butter chicken is highly driven by the butter: Restaurant Persian Garden (8. February 2018)
Somehow the Persian Garden restaurant has upped its food compared to last year. Ultimately, it is better than before but still far off from good. The “salad” which is served complimentary with every meal you order isn’t bad in terms of selection of vegetables served but it lacks sauce, respectively the sauce was only served […]
One of the best in-mall options: Restaurant Wagamama @ Bahrain City Centre (4. – 6. February 2018)
Somehow, we never ended up in the Wagamama until recently. And since then, the visits became more frequent, i.e. almost on a daily basis. The “Tori Kara Age (seasoned crispy chicken pieces, dressed in and served with a spiced sesame and soy sauce)” (3.250 BHD) was good but also rather heavy in terms of flavour […]
When the flagship product is just somewhat disappointing: Restaurant Shake Shack (3. February 2018)
It is quite some time ago since I’ve been to Shake Shack – especially since my last visit didn’t really persuade me. However, given there is just a limited number of options in the mall, I figured I should give it a second try. Frankly, the choice was a bit better this time but it […]
Nicely by the beach but not memorable: Restaurant Bait Al Bahar (2. February 2018)
The Bait Al Bahar is a simple little restaurant by the beach which is mainly nice due to the fact that it is located by the beach. A lot of areas are privatized or ‘hotel-ized’, so you don’t have free beach access. However, here, it’s still possible. Once you went through all the patience of […]
All you need but not more: Westin Club @ The Westin Dubai, Al Habtoor City (2. February 2018)
The selection of dishes in the Westin Club is not really breathtaking but you find everything you need for a good breakfast starting from a nice variety of different breads which turns out to be rather limited in terms of actual bread. There are a lot of pastries and the like but if you are […]
The perfect shisha place: The Courtyard @ Hotel Manzil Downtown (1. February 2018)
The Courtyard is a lovely place which allows you to smoke shisha ‘outside’. Somehow, it is forbidden to enjoy a shisha outside as it might harm other people. The Courtyard is the best compromise as it is a patio area where you can sit outside but you’re a bit sheltered from the streets. The place […]
