Tibbs Frankie - JLT

I'm a fan of Indian street food and there aren't many dedicated places for frankie, so I was eager to check out this place when they invited me.

 The restaurant has 4 tables and each can seat about four people, so the place is a bit small. Although during non-peak hours you should easily get a place there.

 We started with the chicken tikka frankie. The chicken had a nice flavour to it, and the wrap was good too.

 Then we had the veg schezwan frankie. I think I liked the flavours of this one more. It is the vegetable frankie with schezwan in it. This one was also a bit more crispier.

 They also serve sandwiches. We had the veg grilled sandwich. It had potato, cucumber, tomato, and cheese in it. It tasted nice, although nothing special. It had a very homely feel to it.

 Then we had the bbq chicken tikka grilled sandwich. This one definitely had a better taste and texture to it. We were really enjoying this one. The chicken was soft and really flavourful. It complemented the crispy bread.

 They also have small snacks, and we tried their dabeli bites. Firstly, dabeli is something which not many people can get right. This one was just average. It could have had some more flavour to it. It wasn't something we relished.

 The other item was the schezwan bread pakoda. They take your regular bread pakoda and make it with some schezwan flavours. It was served fresh and hotb, along with green chillis on the side. If you like bread pakoda, you're going to enjoy this one even more. I was totally enjoying this spicy snack. Soft. Hot. Spicy. Comforting.

 For the drinks, we had the Mumbai Ishtyle Limbu Paani. Your regular fresh lime water made Mumbai style. It is not totally different but does have the tangy taste of the masala that they put in it and feels refreshing.

 The other one was the rose lemonade. It sounded really fancy and looked nice too. The flavours for me personally were good, but not as good as I was expecting. If you keep your expectations low, perhaps you might enjoy it. I think I didn't quite like the fact that there was rose along with the tangy lemonade. It didn't go well together I felt.

 We had tea in the end which was really good.

 It is a small but nice place overall. Their frankies and sandwiches are good, and so is the schezwan bread pakoda.

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
