FAMISHED EXPLORER

This is a fun and chilled out place with some good Mexican food.  We started with some queso fundido . This is a dish made basically of melted cheese, and has your choice of meat in it. We asked the chicken one. If you're a cheese lover, this is cheese heaven. It does taste quite good, although after a bite or two I thought it was a cheese overload, and a tad bit dry.  They have guacamole as a starter and it is due to the quantity as well as the fact that they prepare it in front of you. It was made in a big wooden bowl and was heavenly. We relished it with tortilla chips.  I was in a mood for some soup, and ordered the crema de frijoles (bean soup). It was thick and really flavourful. I loved the creamy texture that it had to it.  We then ordered the taquitos potato. These are basically a rolled up tortilla with a filling of your choice. The potato filling tasted quite average and it wasn't something we enjoyed.  They've got a good selection of

We saw this place and wanted to go try it out for a light bite.  Public parking is easily available and wasn't difficult even on a weekend.  The place has a good feel to it.  They have a good variety of Turkish dishes. They have different kinds of shawerma too, and we ordered the regular chicken shawerma sandwich . It was a little bigger than most places and had a really good taste to it.  The other item that caught my attention was the Tobik . This is somewhat like a burger. We ordered the chicken one. I took a bite and it felt heavenly. It was hot and crispy and the stuffing tasted good too. It looks like a burger but has the texture of a shawerma. Definitely worth a try.  Last, but not the least, we ended our meal with a hot cup of Turkish tea.  The service was quick and we had a good experience overall.  Click here for delicious food and lovely places around Dubai.    

A friend of mine suggested this place as there was a particular dish that he wanted to have here. It was a weekend and it was quite crowded. We went about 8:30pm and got a table on the spot, although any later and we'd have to wait to be seated. We started with the chicken manchow soup . It was spicy and delicious; served with crispy fried noodles on the side. Along with it, we asked for a portion of masala papad . This was below average and I didn't enjoy it much. For our appetisers, we had the chicken gilafi sheekh which was really very good. It was soft and had a nice peppery flavour. We then ordered a mutton khichadi . Very few places serve this and that's what we came here for. The mutton was soft and the khichadi was nice. It had a very homely flavour to it. I also had a dahi puri which was made really well, with a good amount of filling inside it. They have something called as cocktail shots which is an assortment of various beverages. Y

It was a weekend and we were looking for a quick bite so we ended up going here.  It's not a very big place but they have a good variety of options on the menu. We started with the aloo cheese onion paratha . The cheese in the paratha was melted and we couldn't see the cheese in it. We asked for more, and they were happy to give us some extra cheese. The taste of the paratha was quite good.  I ordered a dahi kachori chaat , and it was really flavourful with ample amount of dahi in it. The ragda pattice too was good enough. I would have liked the pattice itself to have more flavour but nothing to complain about.  Last, but not the least, we had a nice cuppa chai .  The service is fast, and the staff is friendly.  Our server got us the bill without asking for it, which I didn't quite like.  Click here for delicious food and lovely places around Dubai.
