Eat & Drink Restaurant & Cafeteria - Al Satwa

Sunday, March 25, 2018 1 Comments A+ a-

Today's restaurant you might have seen on many places, it have 20 different outlets in Dubai. It serves Arabian, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Fast Food, Healthy drinks and Juices. Well, I'm talking about Eat & Drink Restaurant which serves delicious food at very affordable price.

I have been having Malbari Parathas from here as a take away and they never disappointed me. I decided to Dine in here to try out their food. I visited their Al Satwa outlet which have different room for family. It was quiet full on family side and was surprised to see the rush. I love the menu's when there are so many pictures which depicts their food, decision making is easier.

The staff is active and service is fast. The restaurant have very old furniture and nothing fancy. It is very basic and have only things which are needed by the restaurants.

What We Tried There:
  • Chicken Kurma
  • Kanthari Chicken
  • Chicken Chilli
  • Malbari Poratta
  • Titanic Juice
  • Lipton Tea
This might sound weird but I love Tea as much as I love coffee. We started having Lipton Tea with Poratta by the time rest of the thing arrive. It is my all time favorite combo of tea and poratta. Do you also love tea with porotta!?

Next arrived Chicken Kurma, it had semi thick consistency. I love the flavors as because it balanced the spices very nicely. The portion served was enough for three people.

Kanthari Chicken was unavoidable, it was appealing in the picture it self I had to order. It is very spicy which will give you the buzz. This was my favorite dish,  #MustHave if you love spicy food. I loved it so much that I also took it as a parcel.

Next was Chilli Chicken, this was not spicy as I expected. It was medium spicy and the quantity served was great.

For drinks I tried their Titanic Juice, it had 50-50 of Mango Strawberry Juice and Vanilla Icecream with Cashew Nuts. I totally loved this drink. I #Highly Recommend you to try their Juices because they have huge collection and it won't disappoint you. They are very healthy and made freshly.
Titanic Juice
Overall I didn't expect to enjoy the meal so much. They are very much affordable and serve good portion of food. Good place to satisfy your cravings and taste buds. I'm definitely gonna visit this place again.

Ashar's Kitchen - Business Bay Lake View

Wednesday, March 21, 2018 0 Comments A+ a-

I have been exploring Business bay very much recently because of my Work. I didn't even knew that there are restaurants backside of  my building which gives the great view of the lake and skyline.
As I was early to the office I decided to check out the back side of building. 

I walked down the lane and decided to visit Ashar's Kitchen for lunch. As soon as i entered I noticed there are many take away's which they deliver. I expected to have fast service watching at them for take away's. The place is very open and bright. They have various comfortable seating from sofa's to chairs, not to forget they also have outdoor seating. 

The staff is kind of rude and doesn't know what's in the menu if you ask them anything. I felt as if they were more interested in sending the deliveries then taking orders from us or anyone present. Each customer had to call the staff especially as they were not attentive and busy on their phones. 

What We Tried There:
  • Chicken Masala over Rice
  • Butter Chicken
  • Chicken Tikka Quarter Leg
  • Grilled Chicken with Salad, Arabic Rice
  • Masala Naan
  • Strawberry Banana Smoothie
  • Sweet Lassi 

We started with Butter Chicken and Masala Naan. I totally loved the Masala Naan, it had all the spice and was big too. Naan is spicy and goes very well with butter chicken as it is little sweet.
Butter Chicken was good too but quantity was very less, enough for one person.

We tried their famous Chicken Masala over Rice, I wanted to know what is so especial about it. It is very simple dish, chicken masala is put on top of the bed of rice, served with lot of  salad. It was spicy and it was very basic.

We also tried their Chicken Tikka Quater Leg, It looked very tempting on the picture but I was disappointed when it was served. The portion was small and salad served along with it was different from the picture. It was also burnt and didn't smell good.

Lastly we tried their Grilled Chicken with salad and Arabic Rice. This was rather good and was served hot and freshly made. Chicken was nicely seasoned and rice tasted flavorful. The quantity served is good for one person.

For drinks we had Sweet Lassi and Strawberry Banana Smoothie, both were very basic.

Overall I didn't enjoy my experience as each item was served after 10 mins which kind of annoyed us a lot. Even the service was not so good and I didn't feel value for price. I expect little more in quantity for price and active staff.

Spring Onion - Affordable Combo Meals

Tuesday, March 13, 2018 0 Comments A+ a-

Business Bay is Hub of offices and good restaurants too which delivers on time at very affordable prices. Recently I decided to visit this restaurant named as Spring Onion.

They serve good Indian and Pakistani food along with good combo meals. They also have variety of juices which is very refreshing and fresh. Everything is done all fresh everyday because at the end of the day they are sold out. It is always a full house any time you visit in a day. They also deliver food and take away with good packaging. 

Myself and my colleagues decided to have their combo meal which is VERY affordable for price. 

What We Tried There:
  • Zinger Club
  • Charcoal Chicken Combo Meal
  • Chicken Seekh Kebab Combo Meal
We started with the Zinger Club Sandwich, it had four sandwiches with lots of fries. Sandwich as nicely stuffed with chicken, cheese, mayo, sauce and veggies. It is very affordable and tasty. It is more like evening snack but it's worth it.
Zinker Club

Next we ordered two combo meal, Charcoal Chicken and Chicken Seekh Kebab.
Both the combo meals had my favorite Hummus, Labnan, salad, khabus. Charcoal Chicken is little bit spicy and more of tandoor chicken. I loved the quantity served which enough for one person.

Chicken Seekh Kebab, two skewers were served. It was nicely marinated and fresh. The spices had good mixtures. It was amazing combo.

Overall I loved their combo meals which is very cheap and tasty. I am going to try their other combo meals also.

Nurai - Great Meal with A Burj Khalifa View

Wednesday, March 07, 2018 3 Comments A+ a-

I work in Business Bay, suddenly there are new restaurants that have started near the canal side which gives the beautiful view of Dubai Skyline. From my work place I can see so many restaurants and I want to visit each and every restaurant (every food bloggers thinking).

This time I finally got a chance to visit Nurai, all thanks to the operation Manager of Nurai Mr.Charbel who invited me to try out their food. The view was beautiful and it was more beautiful because it started drizzling and weather was cold and soothing. They have huge seating inside as well as outside. Inside seating is divided into smoking and non-smoking area, they have one level up also for a group seating. We decided to seat outside in tent (I would have been foolish if I sat inside because it's rare to have such amazing weather).

I was totally spoiled by Nurai, their staff (especially Mary) was very warm and had smiles which makes you comfortable. They have good knowledge of their dishes which  helps to choose. Once we finished ordering, we just sat and admired the view and beauty.

Nom Nom Asia - Asian Street Food

Saturday, March 03, 2018 0 Comments A+ a-

Being a food blogger it is always a honor to get invited by good restaurants who serves delicious cuisines. This weekend I was Invited in one of the restaurant by Hyperlinks Media which I have been wanted to visit for the longest time just to try their Fried Ice Cream. I think you have guessed it by now, it is Nom Nom Asia.

Nom Nom Asia serves the Thai and Chinese cuisines with desi touch to it. The restaurant have very minimalist. They have just added pop of colors by adding wall art and little decor pieces to tie up the whole place together. I loved their hanging light because they were glass jars and glass bowl shapes which gave the quirky feel to the restaurant.The place very cozy and comfortable with good background music.

The restaurant have very huge menu and good options to choose from. From vegetarian to non-vegetarian to seafood lover they got you covered.Once you order it will take approx. 15 to 20 mins because everything is done fresh and is piping hot. If you want good food then you will have to wait for little time.

What We Tried There:
  • Thai Satay
  • Drumsticks
  • Pepper Chilli
  • Chicken Kung Pao Sauce
  • Fried Ice Cream
  • Lemongrass Ginger Cooler
For drinks we just had basic Lemongrass ginger Cooler.

We started with Thai Satay, it had five skewers with three boneless pieces on each skewer. It was served along with Peanut sauce, schezwan sauce and soya sauce. Satay was soft and juicy and I loved the peanut sauce along with it. It was a great start for our evening.
Thai Satay
Next was my favorite, that is Drumsticks. This is a very simple dish but sometimes all u get is corn flour rolled. I loved for the fact that the drumsticks were big, tender from inside; sweet  and sour served along with complimented it very well.

As our server suggested to try out Pepper Chilli according to our liking's we ordered it. according to me it was Indo-Chinese dish. I expected it to be very spicy but it wasn't. It was medium spice with good mixture of sauce. 
Pepper Chilli
Lastly we tried their Kung pao Chicken. I was very spontaneous to order this because I have been seeing Kung Pao everywhere. This is semi gravy dish which would compliment well with Fried rice.
I liked the sweet and sour flavour in the Kung pao. I am definitely going to try their Kung pao Stir fry chicken.
Kung Pao Chicken
For dessert, undoubtedly I had to opt for Fried Ice Cream. Warm from outside and cold from inside and lots of chocolate. This was divine, you will love it too.

Overall great place to hangout with friends and family. It is very affordable and good quantity is served. Next time I will try to order food and also try their dimsums.
