Hyderabadi Biryani House

 This is a newly opened outlet and they invited me to try out their biryanis. They have outdoor seating as well as a few tables indoor upstairs.



We started with the chicken tikka balochi. They served it along with smokey charcoal which gives a nice flavour to it. 



Then we had the chicken tikka zafrani which too is served with the smokey charcoal. It has a saffron flavour to it which was nice, though a little bit on the sweeter side. 



I really enjoyed the shami kebab. These are soft and flavourful. Definitely worth trying. 



The seekh kebab was good enough. It tasted good, but could have been a bit softer. 



For the mains, we first had the egg masala which was made in a rice flavourful gravy. 



We had it along with a roomali roti which was big and served hot. 


They recommended the chicken 65 biryani which is one of their top selling ones. It was my frist time trying it and it was delicious. The chunky pieces of chicken in Chinese sauces tasted interesting in a biryani. 


They also have sizzler biryanis. We ordered the hyderabadi mutton dum biryani sizzler which comes with shami kebab and some fries. The taste was not bad but the mutton felt a little undercooked. 


They have some interesting desserts too. Spinach halwa was something that caught my attention. I'm not a big fan of spinach but this was quite nice. The double ka meetha was also really good. I found the apricot halwa to be a bit too sweet. The gajar halwa had a nice texture as well as a good taste to it. 


We also tried their kesar kulfi which was nice. 


They have malai kulfi which is served in a matka and was the perfect end to our meal.



The food is good overall and they have some interesting items. It is also reasonably priced. There are a few things which could have been better.

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
