The Farm - Al barari

If you want to dine in nature, this is definitely the best place in Dubai to go to. If you haven't been to Al Barari before, then let me tell you that you'll see a lot of greenery right from the time you enter the area. 

 The Farm has a dining area which is open-air and I would suggest sitting there (weather permitting), and there is also an indoor dining space. 
A prior reservation is highly recommended. 

 We started with the fresh orange juice, and the Purifier which is a mix of carrot, orange, cucumber, ginger, and mint leaves. Both of them were fresh and tasted really good. 

They got us some foccacia bread as we waited for our food. I found this yummy too. They gave some pesto along with it. 

 We started with the gnocchi. It had a cheesy and tomato based flavour to it. It did taste really very good, but felt a bit dry after a few bites. 

 The paneer butter masala was really nice, and not too spicy. I wouldn't compare it to the flavours from a typical Indian restaurant but it was quite good. 

 On the side, we took some grilled potatoes. They had rosemary and a few herbs on it which gave it a nice flavour. 

 Another side dish was the parsley sauteed broccolini which I totally enjoyed having. This too tasted really fresh and complemented our food well. 

 The service was a tad bit slow, and I did find the prices to be a bit on the higher side, but the dining experience in the midst of nature is unparalleled. 

It is on SMBZR and if you're using the maps, you shouldn't have any problem finding the place.

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 f...

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...

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
