Maharajah - Khalifa city

This restaurant is located in Kahlifa city, and was a bit hard to find since I couldn't see any board outside. I had to ask around and get in the right building. I was trying out their breakfast menu on this day and went there around 11am. It was a bit dimly lit; felt sort of dull for that time of the day. 

 As we ordered our food, they got us some crispy sticks to munch on along with chutney. 

 We started with idlis which were served with 2 delicious chutneys. There was a tomato based red one and a white coconut one, as well as samhbar on the side. The idlis were soft and had some ghee on them which made the taste even better.

 Then we had a masala dosa. This looked appealing and tasted good as well. It was served with the chutneys and sambhar as the idli.  

 I love egg dishes and I had to try their Indian shakshouka. It is very similar to the regular one but with some Indian spices. I like the eggs to be a bit runny but these weren't, and neither did they ask me my preference for the same while taking the order. The Indian spices gave it a very nice flavour. I had it along with paratha which was nice and crispy. 

 They have chicken roll too which I tried. It had a good amount of filling in it and the flavours were good. 

 For our drinks, we asked for a lemon mint mojito. It looked very appealing when it was served with all the smoke coming out of it. The taste was just average though; I've definitely had better. 

 We ended with a hot cup of chai. Served in a kettle with a flame under it so that it remains hot. Gave a very desi feel to it and was really comforting.

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

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
