Costa Coffee

Sunday, July 30, 2017 0 Comments A+ a-

For me Coffee works as a stress relief. It makes me calm and fresh. And being a coffee lover I am always up to try out new coffee combination. These time I chose to visit the Costa Coffee. 

We went to mercato mall as an entertainment there was circus going on, both of us enjoyed it. It was more of a kids circus but it was fun watching people around and kids laughing and jumping with excitement. What I like about this mall is there is less crowd which makes me happy. The place is open and very much comfy. 


My husband opted for Caramel Crunch which is the new addition. It is very chilled and thick. Sweetness is up to mark just what it needed. It was perfect drink for him. In this you have option if you don't like coffee then you can exclude it.

I opted for Corto which is a classic black coffee with caramel and mocha. It is a hot beverage as I don't like too much icy drink. I love it as it perfect blend of taste.

Wrapchic - The Indian Burritos

Sunday, July 23, 2017 0 Comments A+ a-

Wrapchic is the fusion of Indian and Mexican food all the way from America to Dubai. It was my first time, I didn't have any idea how it can taste. It sounds crazy that in a wrap there is a filling of rice which made little confused but I thought of giving it a try.
The style of preparing a item is very nice you get to choose your style and filling in it.


What We Tried There:
  • Chicken Mughlai Burrito
  • Chicken Punjabi Bowl
  • Mango Jarritos
Chicken Mughlai Burrito, Chicken Punjabi Bowl & Mango Jarritos

I chose burrito with Chicken Mughlai filling along with rice, red rajma, boiled and saucy salad, mango chutney. The thought of rice in indian burrito was weird. But it was really Yummy. It was big and soul food. 

Next was Chicken Punjabi filling in a bowl with bed of salad, spicy sauce, mint chutney, rice and black beans. It is good amount which is served and taste delicious. Quantity and quality is great. I #HighlyRecommend this if you really want to try out something interesting.

Lastly we had a drink named Jarritos which was something new, I chose Mango flavor. It was something new nothing like fanta or miranda. It is a #MustTry.

Wrapchic offers lot of affordable options and combos.

Moreish - A Hidden Gem

Wednesday, July 19, 2017 0 Comments A+ a-

Moreish Restaurant is a venture of Kajal Narang, winner of Foodshala season 4, middle east's best cooking show. This restaurant is in interiors of oud mehta, but being known that they serve good food, location doesn't matter be it far or near.


Restaurant is small and sweet. They have indoor and outdoor seating arrangement. The best thing what I liked about this restaurant is GAMES. After you place the order they give you cards, snake and ladder and tic tac toe coins. This idea is so innovative and keeps you entertained till your food arrives. 

What We Tried There:
  • Sunset Mocktail
  • Moreish special Chicken Satay Salad
  • Slow Roasted Chicken
  • Chocolate Spa Dessert
Sunset mocktail is mixture of orange and peach which was really refreshing.

Sunset Mocktail

Moreish special Chicken Satay Salad is one of the best salads I have ever tried. Mixture of juicy chicken and apple comes together very well.

For the mains we tried Slow Roasted Chicken, two big portions of roasted tender juicy chicken was served with grilled vegetables, mashed potato and pepper sauce. With every bite me and my husband was just saying WOW. It was the hit dish of the day and #MustTry.

Slow Roasted Chicken

Lastly for dessert we had Chocolate Spa dessert, it is brownie with vanilla ice cream served on a sizzling plate and chocolate pouring down on the dessert. It comes along with burnt marshmallows, lotus biscuit and pop rock. Brownie is warm and soft just melts downs in mouth. I loved the concept it is so new creative idea and yummy. I #HighlyReccommend it to you.

Chocolate Spa Dessert

The prices of the dishes are very affordable with the great experience.

Mikel Coffee - With Love from Greece

Saturday, July 08, 2017 1 Comments A+ a-

Being a Coffee addict I'm always in hunt for good coffee cafe this time I found Mikel Coffee. It have 4 outlets in Dubai and we chose outlet in Burjuman Centre. Cafe is very spacious and smartly located beside the parking area of the mall. The space is very funky and cozy seating area outdoor and indoor. The wallpaper have good art and american wallpaper. Service is very prompt and staff is active.


What We Tried There:
  • Cold Chocolate Viennese
  • Chicken Caesar Salad
There is lot of option from hot drinks to cold and also sweets and savories to munch along with it.

We ordered Cold Chocolate Viennese, it was very heavy and good quantity was served.
It had nice mixture of cocoa and coffee, topped with whipped cream. It is a #MustTry if you are chocolate and coffee lover.


Along with it I ordered Chicken Caesar Salad, it was frozen and chicken was salty. It was really a big disappointment for me. 


It is a great place to try out some Greece coffee love and hangout with friends.
