FAMISHED EXPLORER

This one is a classy place with a good location. Also, if you're sitting outside (which is where you can have the shisha), you get a partial view of the dubai fountains too. I was invited by them to try out their food, and the first thing I noticed was the ambience which was lovely.  They have a lot of modified dishes on their menu, i.e. dishes which you might get elsewhere but a little different.  We started with the Hummus Zahr-El-laymoun . It comes with minced meat, and is topped with pomegranate seeds and pine nuts. I totally loved this one. Minced meat on hummus tastes better than pieces of meat I must say; or perhaps it is the way they make it.  The manager suggested that we should definitely try the labneh tray . It is labneh covered with thyme, pistachio and olive oil; served with crispy bread. I took a bite of this and couldn't keep my hands off it. If you like labneh, you gotta try this one. For drinks we had the pomegranate juice . This wa...

Zaroob is a well known name among Arabic restaurants. I've been to their other outlets and the food was good.  As soon as we entered, I noticed that the staff is friendly. One of my friend was vegetarian and she wanted to check if they've got enough choice of vegetarian food. The staff was glad to help and explained all the items that are available in vegetarian.  We started off with hummus and a stuffed falafel, along with a lemonade.  The hummus tasted really good, and the quantity was good too. Zaroob being Zaroob , they get their hummus right.  This stuffed falafel came along with tahina sauce, and khaboos, parsley, and pickled radish. When you have it all together, it tastes great; a tad bit dry though.  The lemonade was served in a nice mason jar.  They had foul (chick peas) too; and one of the dishes is foul jar . The name looked interesting. They actually serve this in a jar. It looks like some dish served during the olden days....

With so many restaurants offering weekend breakfasts / brunches, Cherrie Blossom definitely stands out for its views. We saw the breakfast offer on their Facebook page , and given the selection of the menu for the price of AED 37, we were quite excited. The views there are breath-taking, and going there just for the views itself is worth it. Initially we couldn't find the exact location, as we followed the location on Zomato which just says Jumeirah Fishing harbour, so obviously we didn't reach there. Then we saw their location on their facebook page which was accurate (you can also click the Location just below this blog-post which will take you there directly). If you go a little early, you should get parking easily. Once you enter, you'll notice their cute and artisty décor with a white and purple theme. Initially I just saw the seating area downstairs and it was extremely small, but go upstairs and you'll see that's where the real fun is. They...
