One of my favorite place in Dubai is Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), tall buildings touching the sky, far away from all the city buzz in a peaceful atmosphere enjoying the quality time with your partner either in the park or near the lake.

Recently I visited Chandini Chowk which serves Indian cuisine and street style food which is mostly found on the roads of India. One of the great place which gives the perfect view of lake and have a calm environment. Parking can be little stressful as it is always full and other parking is far away which can be tiring.

What We Tried There:

Bora Bora
Virgin Sangria
Russian Salad
Gol Gappe
Dahi Bhalla
Papadi Pizza
Mushroom Chilly
Fried Prawns (Masala/Butter Garlic/Chilli)
Drums Of Heaven
Stuffed Mushroom Tikka
Murg Reshmi Kebab
Tangri Kebab
Pudina Seekh Kebab
Tandoori Prawns
Cold Coffee
Mango Lassi
Gulab Jamun With Ice Cream

Starting with thirst quencher we tried their mocktails. Bora Bora, mixture of pineapple, lemon, passion fruit which gives waken up your taste buds and refreshing.

Next Mocktail was the Virgin Sangria, which is mixture of grape, passion fruit and apple juice. It was sweet and chilled which was very relaxing.

They had a wide variety of chaat which was not easy for me to pass through. We started with our all time #Favorite Gol Gappe which is also know as Pani Puri. I loved the dal stuffing in the puris which took it to another level, I #HighlyRecommend you to try this.

Gol Gappe

Our second chaat was Papadi Pizza, yes you read it right. On papadi it have all the yummy ingredient which a pizza should have and definitely it was the Dish of the Day #MustHave.

Papadi Pizza

Our last chaat was the Dahi Bhalla, it was my first time trying it out and I was delightful after having the first bite. The Dal Vada is dipped in Dahi and different chutneys made it so much flavorful, this is going to be my new favorite.

Dahi Bhalla

They have wide menu to choose from and you can go crazy just like I did. We started with Russian Salad it was just the way we liked it. Various veggies blended well in cream and mayo and had great taste.

Then we tried their Global Starter basically the items which you can find in any Indian Restaurant world wide. We started with Mushroom Chilly, I was happy that mushrooms was not overly coated with corn flour. I loved the spiciness which was lip smacking.

Mushroom Chilly

Next we tried their Fried Prawns which were in three different flavors Masala, Butter Garlic and Chilli. My favorite was the Masala Prawns because it had mix of sweet tangy flavor where as my Hubby liked the Butter Garlic for the obvious reason as it was not spicy and was juicy and buttery.

Fried Prawns

Last item from Global Starter was the Drums of Heaven, It is a Indo Chinese dish. Mix of Sweet sour and spicy flavor and good portion of drumsticks. I liked that it was not too spicy even a normal spice lover can eat it just like my hubby definitely #MustTry if you would like to enjoy all the flavors in one go.

Then we tried few of their kababs starting with the vegetarian kebab, Stuffed Mushroom Tikka. The juicy Mushrooms were stuffed with yummy cheese.

Stuffed Mushroom Tikka

Our second kebab was Murg Reshmi Kebab, I liked it as it was perfectly marinated and the wrap of little cream on top was just amazing, #MustTry.

Again from chicken section we tried their Tangri Kebab, It is a drumstick nicely spiced and marinated and done in tandoor.

From Mutton we tried their Pudina Seekh Kebab, this is little bit on spicy side but compliments well with the mint chutney.

Lastly from seafood we tried their Tandoori Prawns which is marinated in Indian Spices and were good in quantity.

By the time we finished our starters we had to restock on our drinks we chose our favorite Mango Lassi and Cold Coffee.

Cold Coffee

For desserts we tried Gulab Jamun with Ice Cream, The combination of hot gulab jamun with cold scoop of vanilla ice cream were just perfect.

Overall I loved the ambiance and the location of the restaurant. They have huge variety of Kebab which is heaven for kebab lovers just like me. Great spot to hangout with family and close friends and good place to roam around. They have the good quantity and quality in all the dishes and prices are also very affordable. I am definitely looking forward to go again with my family.

Wrapchic is a fusion of two cuisines, Indian and Mexican brought to Dubai all the way from Mexico. They have combined the favorites of both the countries together, such as Mexican favorites are Burritos, Bowl of Salad or Rice, Wrap, Quesadilla and Indian favorites comprises of Chicken Muglai, Chicken Rajasthani, Mutton Madrasi and many more.

Their concept is interesting which allows you to create your own dish by selecting your style with your favorite fillings and topping. Mexican Style and Indian filling, What do you think?

They have opened their new outlet in JLT and I was lucky to be invited by them. They have very interesting location and great service by the staff.

What We Tried There:

Chicken Rajasthani Wraplette
Mutton Madrasi Bowl
Chicken Punjabi Quesadilla
Hyderabadi Biryani Bowl
Chicken Mughlai Wraposa
Chole Masala Wrapchos
Mango Lassi
Coconut Lassi
Jarritos

We started with Wraplette which is a tortilla and eggs, onions, peppers, jalapenos, tomatoes and with Indian filling of Chicken Rajasthani. It had a hot and sour flavors which blended well together. I #HighlyRecommend you to try this combination as it will be enough for a hungry person.

Chicken Rajasthani Wraplette

Next we chose the Bowl of Salad with Mutton Madarasi and red beans, you can also choose Rice as a option but to balance out we opted for salad as it will still feel light. I love the quantity of salad which was served, Mutton was nice soft and nicely seasoned and had great texture. At beginning I had bad feeling of choosing it but my doubts were cleared with the first bite of it, totally worth it.

Mutton Madrasi Bowl

Can you Imagine Quesadilla with Indian filling? It had all the regular ingredients in it onion, cheese, peppers, tomato and main filling was Chicken Punjabi. When it was hot you could enjoy the amazing flavors of everything but once it got cold it became rubbery and was dry. So make sure to have it as soon as it is served.

Chicken Punjabi Quesadilla

Well they have introduced Hyderabadi Biryani Bowl which is new addition in the menu. Rather then their regular rice which they serve is replaced by the Biryani rice which is also served with red beans, Chicken and not to forget to include salad. It was a great bowl for #BiryaniLover with healthy version.

Hyderabadi Biryani bowl

Wraposa is a toasted sandwich in which we added Chicken Mughlai as a filling. This is kind of more of a snack which I would prefer to have it with any hot beverage. But unfortunately they don't serve anything hot beverages.

Chicken Mughlai Wraposa

Lastly we tried their Wrapchos which is Nachos with any Indian filling, we chose Chole Masala. I loved their exactly seasoned nachos with cheese and sour cream. If you want to spice it up more then top it up with Jalapenos like I did.

Chole Masala Wrapchos

For drinks we had their #MustHave Jarritos in Mandarin flavor it is the local drink of Mexico. And also Mango lassi and Coconut Lassi which is famous Indian drinks.

Coconut Lassi and Mango Lassi

I have also visited their first outlet in Burjuman Mall, to know what all I tried there which is completely different then this click HERE.

Dubai is well developed city, fast growing and fast life. I'm lucky to be here and each day gives me different experience. But sometimes with fast moving life I just want to slow down and enjoy each moment of our beautiful life and spending some time at silent place far away from city and crowd. So I and my hubby decided to drive through Jumeirah Lake Towers ( JLT ). We had a good walk around the Jumeirah Lake Towers, had a laugh, had some fun around.

Later we got hungry and while we were just walking we spoted the Kulcha King, it really caught my eyes with the punjabi royal door and the fancy truck. This was totally unplanned visit.

As soon as we entered, we got a feeling as if we are in Punjab. The interiors, small detailing, lighting's, muddy walls, everything reminded of olden times.

The staff is very good and also help you while you choose the items. The menu is quiet long and we took some time to decide what to order.

What We Tried There:

Pudina Sarbat
Tandoori Kukkad
Chicken Gilafi Seekh Kabab
Royal Thali

After a long walk through the lake and park we got tired, first thing we ordered is the Pudina Sarbat, the mint was really refreshing and the khatta meetha taste was good. It is a #MustHave if you ever visit this restaurant. It is priced at AED 12. It is worth having and the quantity is good.

Pudina Sarbat

For starter's we ordered Tandoori Kukkad, it have option of Half/Full. We went with half portion as we were only two. It is little bit crispy and little bit spicy. Half portion have 4 pieces of chicken priced at AED 25.

Next was Chicken Gilafi Seekh Kabab, the only reason why I ordered it was the Name. It was something new. It was the #DishOfTheDay for us and I will #HighlyRecommend this dish to try. It was soft, well marinated, had perfect combination of spices. It was priced at AED 32.

Starter's were served with green chutney and the Imli chutney. The Imli chutney was really different, not usual. I loved it, was really #Yummy.

Tandoori Kukkad

Chicken Gilafi Seekh Kabab

For main course we ordered the Royal Thali, In menu we had options to choose some items between two dishes. It had Chicken Tikka (2pcs small), Dal Tadka or Makhani, Chicken Gravy (we got Butter chicken), Mix Vegetable kadai or Butter masala (we opted for veg, kadai), 1 Lacha paratha or Naan (we opted for Lacha Paratha), Roti, Rice, Gulab Jamun, Butter Milk, Papad, Raita, Pickle. It was fulfilling and good. It is priced at AED 44. I wouldn't recommend it, as it didn't amaze me. But the quantity is good. Has a very much Desi touch what people in India eat everyday.
