Rooftop - Royal Ascott

I've been to this place before and went here again as a friend of mine invited me. 
The ambience is nice and you'll like it especially during winters, since it is open air. 

 We reached there around 8pm and it was about 9:20pm by the time we got our food. 

 The chili chicken was quite good. It did have ample amount of masala in it which sort of overpowered the chicken though.

 We had the chilli fish too, and usually I'm a fan of this but I did not like it much here. It had a bit of smell. 

 The mutton seekh kebabs were not bad, but they could have been more flavourful. 

 The biryani too was just about average and not something I would look forward to. 

 I did not like the service here. The staff did not seem very professional, and it gave a feeling that they were just doing it for the heck of it. 
There were a few items that weren't available and they could have been a bit more polite about it. 

 If you're looking for a place that is open air, serves drinks and plays desi music then you can go here, but the food is below average.

Oakberry Acai Bowls

Image
This is a Brazilian brand which has 200 outlets worldwide and has recently started in Dubai with 8 outlets. They invited me to try out their outlet in Citywalk. Most of their outlets here are kiosks but this is a comparatively bigger one. The ambience is nice and they've used a green and purple colour scheme which gives a bit of a earthy vibe.  You can customize your acai bowl or smoothie with the various ingredients that they have.  We took one with Acai, chia seeds, almonds, hazelnut, and strawberry. It was nice and healthy, although colder than usual. If you have it quickly, you might get a brain-freeze.  In the other one we had acai with condensed milk, strawberry, almonds and chia seeds. I liked the flavour of the condensed milk in this one.  It's a good place especially if you like to have something healthy.  Click here to salivate

Humpty Dumpty - desi Chinese

Image
This is a small place located in Karama, and my friends took me there. Initially I was a apprehensive as to how this place might be, but it didn't seem to be all that bad.  We were five of us, and moderately hungry.  We ordered the Schezwan sixer . This is a combo which contains 1 portion of each: fried rice, noodles, chicken gravy, soup, Chinese bhel, chicken lollipop . This costs just about AED 50. The above combo is also available in a vegetarian option which costs around 40 AED.   We started with the soup which I really liked. It was the manchow soup which was spicy and tangy. The chinese bhel was okay. It wasn't so crunchy, and neither did it have a very good taste.  The chicken lollipop wasn't too bad; it were fairly good. Four pieces of this come in one portion.  The rice and the noodles were good enough, and had a typical ' desi ' flavor to it.  A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Jan 8, 2018 at 11:49pm P

Baku food : What did I eat in Azerbaijan?

Image
Azerbaijani food has a lot of Middle Eastern influence, and a lot of dishes are variations of those you get in the Middle East. There were a few good local restaurants I visited, and a few others too. I'm going to talk about all of these in this post.  The name of the dishes may be a bit different in Azeri (language), and some might just be a translation / description of the dish. You can click on the name of the restaurant to get the exact location.   Burc Qala [well known for Azeri cuisine]:- This is located in the heart of the city - Icheri Shehr (which means Old City). While walking through the old forts in this area, we came across this restaurant. The interiors feel really traditional. Also, a lot of shades of red are used. Here, I had the qutab , which is a very famous local dish; more of a snack. It is made from thinly rolled dough, and has filling inside. It usually has two variants - minced meat, and mixed greens. I had both and they were delicious. Both felt r
