FAMISHED EXPLORER

 This is a newly started restaurant and they invited me to try out their food. The restaurant isn't very big and at first felt like it was just another restaurant but the food bowled me over. We started with the Hakimi sherbat . It is a cold beverage which basically has saffron milk with watermelon pieces in it. It was served chilled and felt really refreshing. We totally loved the way it tasted and couldn't get enough of this. They have some refreshing shots too. We tried the kala khatta shots and the kachchi kairi shots .

 They're recently re-branded Koyla rooftop as Level 8. We were invited here to try out their food and experience the place It is located alongside the pool on the top floor (8th floor). You can see Burj Khalifa at a distance and a view of the Ras Al Khor area. They have good shisha. I had the kiwi paan, and also tried the coconut vanilla, as well as the peach and they were good.  The food was average though. We tried the cheese balls, chilli chicken, chicken manchurian, stuffed chilli, and spicy peanuts for starters. The peanuts were good, and so was the manchurian. The rest could have been better.  For the mains we had the chicken korma and fried rice which was decent. Among the cocktails, I had tequila sunrise which was good, and the ginlet which was okay the first time, but the second one that they got tasted better. The place has a desi vibe to it. The valet parking is not free for Koyla, but you can park yourself for free in the basement.
