FAMISHED EXPLORER

I would like to start by mentioning about the location first. It is beside the Dubai Creek and you get an amazing view of the burj khalifa and the buildings on the other side. Whether you go durin the day or at night, you are sure to love the view.  The restaurant might be a bit confusing to find, but if you follow the map correctly, you'll reach the building. The restaurant has valet parking which costs AED 10. The ambiance of this place is fantastic. They have a smoking area (indoor and outdoor) as well as a non-smoking. I was invited for a tasting here, and the staff that is really courteous offered to set up the table for us, i.e. get their best dishes for us to try out. Their chef Charbel came and explained about their dishes. The manager Charbel (yes, he too had the same name) was friendly and ensured that everything went well throughout. There aren't too many places where I end up liking almost all the dishes, but here I did. We started with the cold mezzeh...

This restaurant is located inside Al Barsha Mall and the first thing I noticed before I even entered is that the parking is easy to find; but at the same time, this mall is a small one and doesn'thave too many shops. This was the first time I was going to this mall since I was invited by this restaurant. As soon as you enter, you notice the fantastic view from this place. It is beside the Barsha Pond Park , and you get a view of the Burj-Al-Arab too.  We ordered the mezzeh platter to start with.  It comes with a selection of hot and cold mezzeh.  I really liked the meat kibbeh as the meat was really soft, and the cheese rekak was delicious. The hommos and moutabel were nice too. The platter also has vine leaves , meat sambousek , and spinach fatteyer , and is served with a salad on the side. They also give you fresh hot breads along with olives, pickles, and a lovely labneh.  They also give you fresh hot breads along with olives, pickles, and a...

The moment you step into this place you notice the rustic interiors. They're lovely. The inside seating is small and feels homely. They've got outside seating near the canal too.  To start with, we ordered a fattoush and a moutabel .  It was served soon along with fresh bread. The fattoush had a lot of greens, and on our request, they also put some feta in it.  The moutabel wasn't bad either. We really liked it. After this, we were a bit confused as to what to order. The friendly staff and zomato recommedations helped us in deciding and we finally settled on the Palestinian chicken musakhan roll . The name itself was unique, it made us order it.  It is a chicken roll with a thin outer covering. It was a bit tangy, though fresh and extremely hot when served. We totally loved this one. A little board in the restaurant caught my attention. It mentions the freebies that they serve there. One of them said "smile" :-) Another one was water. Yes, this rest...
