Uncle Tea

I'm a fan of tea and when I was invited to this place, I was really looking forward to experience the kind of teas that they have. 

 This place is much more than teas. They have a lot of snacks as well as juices and milkshakes. 

 We started with their saffron tea. This was a bit on the sweeter side, but was served piping hot and it did taste really good. 

 We were surprised to see that they also have Horlicks on the menu and ordered one for old time's sake. If you're a fan of this, it will surely bring back old memories. 

 One of the most favourite Indian snack is vada pav. This was hot and served with a couple of chutneys on the side which further accentuated the flavour. We liked it so much that we ordered another one later. 

 They have sandwiches too and we had the falafel sandwich. This did taste good but was a bit on the dry side. Nonetheless, the quantity was very generous and you would definitely feel full with it. It does come with some fries on the side. 

 The fries too are quite good, and if you order a portion of this, you;ll get a lot of them. 

 For the wraps they also have a spinach bread (wrap) and I had the chicken tikka wrap in the in this bread. This tasted just about okay. I was expecting it to be better. It could have had more flavour to it. 


I also had their chicken paratha and as opposed to what I was expecting that it would be filled inside it while making which is the case most of the times, this was more of a wrap/sandwich. They had made the paratha and sandwiches the ingredients inside it later which made the quantity huge and filling. The taste was good enough. 

 Among their fresh and healthy juices, I had the cleansing juice which contains pineapple, ginger, lime, and turmeric. I really liked this combination and it tasted very refreshing. 

 Also, I would like to say that the staff was very friendly and despite being a lot of rush, they handled the orders well, and the serving time was also as expected. 

 I would recommend this place for the pocket friendly prices. It is great if you want to grab a small bite along with some tea or drinks.

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

Indo-Arab menu at Ashiana

Image
Ashiana is an Indian restaurant located in Sheraton beside Dubai Creek. Recently it has got a new head chef - Joseph Yohanna - and has started its Indo-Arab menu; and we were among the first ones invited to try it out.  This was my first time visiting this outlet, and as soon as I entered, the ambiance felt classy. They've got live Indian music too (bollywood, and ghazals), so if you're a fan, you'll love it, otherwise it might be a bit too loud.  We started off with some pani-puri fruit juice shots . In this, instead of the regular pani, there was a mango-based fruit juice. The taste wasn't bad by itself, but if you're in the mood for pani-puri, then this doesn't quite hit the spot.  After this, all the items were Indian, with an Arabic twist to it.  We had a soup which was called dejaj (chicken) shorba . In a bowl were small pieces of chicken, and a bread-stick tempered with cumin, over which we poured the broth that was served separately. It

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
