I am a hard core non-vegetarian, how much ever I have tried to eat everything vegetarian I didn't succeed because of the taste. Though I can eat everything veg when I am at home. This is because of the taste difference between home and outside food. I expect veg food to be either equally good to my home cook food or something extra. 

In Dubai I have rarely come across such good restaurant which serves authentic fresh veg food. Today I am sharing my experience which I had  with Sagar Ratna. It is a pure vegetarian restaurant which serves mainly Marwari style food.  The interiors have the Jodhpur vibes with bright colors of Blues and Oranges. I didn't know that Marwari food is mostly on bit spicy side because of which I give them extra points.

What We Tried There:

To be honest, I'm not a fan of a vegetarian food. When I was in college I use to tease my friends and trouble them asking how can you just survive by just eating vegetables and not even taste other stuff. I don't hate veggie's but I can't eat more then two meals of vegetarian in a day. I hope you have know till now that it is all about vegetarian restaurant, it is Sangam Restaurant and Sweets.

I was in mood to have South Indian food so we ended up in Sangam Restaurant, for a minute I decided to go in other restaurant because they had non-veg but some how I managed to enter Sangam.

Sangam is very open, bright and spacious restaurant. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and shown our tables because we were only two. After having a quick look I realized the prices are  cheap as compared to other vegetarian restaurant who serves the same things. The Manager was very humble and polite and approached each table and asked for feedback's which is very rare to see. 

What We Tried There:

I didn't know what to choose because it is rare that we visit completely vegeterian restaurant. So I told the Manager that I wanna have taste of everything but not burn the whole in a pocket. So he asked me to try Mini Tiffin. I was again in confusion because it had Masala Dosa (Which never in my life till now I couldn't finish it). 

Mini Tiffin

It had Vada, Masala Dosa, Idli, Upma (there are other options too for this item), Sweet was Sheera #MyFavorite along with Sambar, coconut chutney, chili chutney and I guess peanut chutney (orange color). Everything was in a miniature size and totally worth every penny. So many different flavors and different type of food in one plate. Lastly they served Coffee which is also included in Mini Tiffin.

Mumbai is know as city of dreams. One can find everything from Bollywood to beaches, fashion to street style food. To get such Mumbai vibe is not difficult anymore; Mumbaikar's is a Maharastrian based food joint where you can totally enjoy the Mumbaiwala Mast vibe. 

Mumbai!!! As soon as name pops up first thing is said it is fast city life but to keep one soul happy feeding the stomach is best way. This place have wall arts which describes Mumbai.

The place is bit small but the staff have huge smiles. The service is prompt and have comfortable environment with Bollywood music going on in the background.

What We Tried There:

They completely justify their restaurant name and reminds of Mumbai street style food. Definitely worth visiting this place.

Via Delhi is a authentic North Indian restaurant in Oud Mehta, opposite Lamcy plaza. It is a very small but nicely managed and maintained having a Disney font for restaurant logo.

It have a calm environment with soft music playing in background. Staff is very friendly and explains the dish while serving. The walls had framed pictures of sculptures of Delhi, people, festival, environment and other beautiful things in Delhi.

After placing the order we were served with their welcome drink shots which is a refreshing Ginger Mint Cooler, it was mixture of tangy and sour flavors which was amazing. Along with it they served Papad, Papita ka Murabba, chutney and sweet onion.

What We Tried There:

We had to try out some momo's as it said in menu Via Delhi Special and A Must try! So we opted for Tandoori Chicken Momo's. It was very appealing and mouthwatering when it was placed in front of me and I just wanted to jump right into it but i had to click first. It was steamed and stuffed very nicely. These momo's were the best that I have had till now. It is definitely a #MustTry dish.

Tandoori Chicken Momo's

For the starter we chose Bhatti Chicken which is their signature dish. Tender soft juicy chicken marinated to perfection and amazing blend of flavor. This is a perfect starter to start a meal. I #HighlyReccomend this amazing dish.

For main course we ordered Mutton Roganjosh with Paneer Amritsari Kulcha and Butter Tandoori Roti. Mutton Roganjosh is bit on a spicy side but have the amazing flavor. It was delicious and very tasty. It went well with paneer amritsari kulcha, the paneer stuffing in kulcha was very fulfilling and quiet heavy and butter tandoori roti was very soft and buttery. Both roti's blended along with roganjosh and reduced the spiciness in it.

Lastly for drinks we ordered Mango Lassi. It is one of the best lassi I've ever tried. It was very thick and yummy.

I can visit this restaurant to try out more of their momo's and Mango lassi.

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 is mixture of orange and peach which was really refreshing.

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.

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.

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

"Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Papa John's."

Papa John's is one of my favorite place to have Pizza, and I'm always happy with their services and Pizza.  It started with very small but today it is the third largest take out and pizza delivery restaurant in America. 

The outlet is usually packed but still it is very clean and descent. The restaurant is very spacious and have clean interiors. Service is great by the waitresses, order is delivered within 15-20 mins. 

Like every Pizza restaurant they have so many Pizza option from classic to specialty, but what is unique is they serve Seafood Pizza. Isn't that interesting?  

Chicken BBQ Pizza is my all time favorite pizza. So I end up ordering it any how whether small or medium. It is a #MustHave.

Spicy Chicken Ranch Pizza is something new I tried and it was yummy. It was cheesy and delicious. It have become new favorite of mine. It is #Recommended to all the cheesy pizza lovers.

As for starter I mostly order cheese sticks or pepperoni roll but I wanted to try something new so I ordered Chicken Strips. I was very much disappointed it was chicken balls and not strips and when I inquired whether it is the same thing which we ordered and we were disappointed. 

I recommend cheese sticks or pepperoni roll but not chicken strips.

This place is go-to for milkshake, smoothies and juice lovers. They have variety of juices, smoothies and milkshakes. And the best part is one can customize their own drink according to their taste and like. Just to decide over one drink it will take a while as it is temping and one will feel like to have all but obviously it is not possible.

They have healthy drinks, fresh fruit pulp juices either single fruit or combination of fruits, unique combination of fruit mojito named as On the Rocks, milkshakes with ice cream and chocolates and really sinful freak shakes. They also have salads, waffle, cakes and sandwiches.

What We Tried There:

When I planned my dinner with my hubby I was really excited as the name only was very fascinating Punjabi By Nature. I had read lots about this restaurant before but as I reached there I was amazed by the crowd waiting at the entrance. I was like now what to do looking at the queue and the people waiting to get a table.

While we were waiting I was reading the quotes which are all over the place. This Punjabi decor and quotes were really wonderful and can't be explained it really makes you feel your in India. While I was reading quotes our table was ready for two. The staff is very descent, no rudeness, no attitude and they suggest the best for you while ordering the food. Immediately they apologize if they get busy with other customers and not able to catch up with you.
