 (winter) Enjoying my
Sheesha at Kan Zaman,
Dubai by JessH,
2 more photos
If you want to try some authentic Arabic/Lebanese food in a traditional setting, then this is the place for you. Kan Zaman is located on the Dubai Creek's Bur Dubai shore, right down by the water's edge. Only a few hundred metres further, and the creek spills out into the Persian Gulf. Watch as the Abras (water taxis) bob along on the waters... this could be one of the few occasions in Dubai when you actually feel like you are in the true Middle East.
I absolutely love this place, which I stumbled upon many years ago whilst walking around & exploring the Textile Souk and historic area around the Dubai Museum. This is an unusual place: 1/3 filled with Local families, 1/3 filled with "veteran" Western expatriates and 1/3 tourists - but this mix doesn't spoil the traditional atmosphere by even an inch...
The food is decent and receives a 90% rating from me. Service is sufficiently good & most of the waiters speak English well. The main attraction is the ambience (this place manages to be both romantic & buzzy at the same time) and of course the al fresco tables; meaning there's space for hundreds of diners either upstairs, down by the water, or inside their spacious dining hall. They also offer international dishes on their looong traditional menu, but as it goes with all authentic eateries, it's probably best to stick to the Arabic specialities. They have everything from hummous, to shwarma, kebabs, grilled seafood, etc.
We paid 10 Dirhams for a pot of gorgeous Moroccan Mint Tea and 24 Dhs for a nice Sheesha. Prices are extremely reasonable, considering that you are sitting in the most visited streets of Dubai. For a comprehensive list of popular Arabic food, click here: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tp/1411c2/.
NOTE: Women, please wear respectful clothing. There are many Muslim families here that might easily feel offended.
TIP: In the winter months, bring a jacket as it can get quite cold & windy here! In summer, you have no choice but to sit inside in air-conditioned bliss.
Opening Hours: 7 days a week, 11:00am - 03:00am.

 Mint Tea at Yahala
Restaurant, Karama -
Dubai by JessH,
3 more photos
This is a great, understated, budget-friendly, authentic & underestimated restaurant in the heart of the Karama Shopping District. It might not look like much, but I've been coming here with friends, family & visitors for years and have never been disappointed.
When you've finished your souvenir-shopping in Karama and need a refreshment or some good Arabic food, settle down at Yahala and experience what *old Dubai* is all about. (I tend to avoid Karama in the summer months because the walkway is open to the elements and only the individual shops are air-conditioned, but the restaurant has ample indoor & outdoor seating, whatever the seasonal temperature may be.)
"Yahala" is an informal Arabic way of saying "What's up? Come on in!"
When we first starting coming here we only used to see Arabic or Indian families. Nowadays, word has spread about this little gem and we often see families of Western expatriates & tourists as well, chewing with a huge grin on their faces! The waiters have therefore really improved their English and are always extremely happy to see Westerners jumping "off the beaten path" & dining at their little corner of the world.
Their menu is an amusing welcome, with spelling mistakes such as "French Fairies" & "Sheep Tongs" :-) Our favourite dishes are:
-> As a starter, I recommend the Yahala Salad Platter, complete with Hummous, Fatoush (green salad), Tabbouleh (parsley salad), baba ghanoush (eggplant salad) and my beloved Falafel (chickpea balls) that is great for sharing for 2-3 people and costs only 30 Dirhams.
-> You absolutely must try their selection of freshly squeezed fruit juices. We like the large glass of pineapple juice for 10 Dirhams.
-> John ordered the ever-popular Chicken Shwarma Platter with & French fries for 20 Dirhams.
-> I love fish, and had a whole grilled Hammour (grouper) fish with fries for 40 Dirhams.
-> According to my Iraqi friend, this place has the best Kebabs in town!
(1 US Dollar = 3.67 Dhs).
A bottomless basket of Arabic bread is free, and after your meal enjoy a complimentary glass of strong & sweet mint tea to help you digest when you've eaten too much... which you definitely will!
There aren't very many vegetarian options, but you can always ask the chef to prepare something "special" for you. To cut a long story short: you can eat Authentic Arabic/Lebanese food here for a very low price!
Opening Hours: 7 days a week, 09:00am - 01:00am.
NOTE: Please be so kind & share some of your dinner with the loveable Karama street cats ;-) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Karama Shopping Centre, DubaiPhone: +971-4-337 4095 / 337 9742Directions: opposite the Hyderabad House restaurant.

 Delicious Fish Tagine &
Couscous at Al Maz, Dubai by JessH,
3 more photos
Restaurants in malls make most people crinkle their noses in disgust & run for the exit; but in Dubai a strange culinary phenomenon is taking place: small, understated gems are popping-up in unsuspecting corners of large malls, promising AND delivering fantastic food in an unusually stimulating environment.
Almaz by Momo (Almaz means "diamond" in Arabic) is one of these secret gems (sister restaurant to a fancy London eatery) tucked away in the furthest corner of the Harvey Nichols store in Mall of the Emirates.
Upon entering we did a double-take: is this a cocktail bar? A cheesy Marrakesh-theme? A secret grotto for wealthy trend-setters? The interiors can be quite overpowering at first; with low ceiling lights, detailed emblems on the tables, a glittery sky (oh! Is it a nightclub?) and that strange invisible door that leads to the glossy-black toilets. During our visit no more than 20 people were in the restaurant, and the staff were quick to realize that turning down the music volume would be much appreciated by all.
This is quite a large place: cushions, curtains & fancy furniture sprawling over several open plan rooms covering 600 square meters. There's a nice open kitchen & different sections for private parties, Sheesha smoking, the juice bar, etc.
We started our meal with some complimentary olives; their flavour did the trick & made us curious about the menu, which isn't large but certainly sufficient. I doubtfully sipped at my alcohol-free champagne fizz with fresh berries... 30 Dhs seems a bit pricy, but it was different & tasted nice.
Their list of non-alcoholic wines & beers is mind-boggling. I decided to stick with mineral water to avoid further confusion and looked at the food... my mother chose the Tagine of Lamb and I opted for the Tagine of Hammour (grouper fish) with couscous (60 Dhs each). A tagine is made from glazed earthenware with a conical lid. The food is both cooked & presented in this dish.
My mother absolutely loved her meal, which had been slowly cooked with prunes & pears to create delectable melting pieces of meat. My fish tasted amazing, including the subtle flavours of cinnamon & cloves with the intense colours of tomato & olive. The couscous was light, fluffy & perfectly cooked. Complimentary slices of breads arrived, and we fell silent: when the food is *this* good, conversation will just have to wait until that after-dinner Marlboro Light! :-)
The dessert menu looked enticing, but we were too full. We opted for a simple cup of coffee which was very nice. They have a large selection of exotic teas, including of course Moroccan Mint, etc. The restaurant also has a small take-away menu including the most popular tagine dishes, traditional Moroccan soup and a large variety of pastries.
TIP: And if you are really gagging for that after-dinner Baileys or cocktail, head across to the Kempinksi Hotel adjacent to the mall.
This is a fantastic place with great food & a lot of atmosphere; suitable for a romantic dinner, a meal with friends, or simply a relaxed coffee to escape the craziness of the mall for an hour... or two... I'm definitely coming back!
Opening Hours: 7 days a week, 10:00am - 12midnight.
(1 US Dollar = 3.67 Dirhams)
--> Update 2nd visit: as a starter, I can also recommend the Hammour Fishcakes with fruity chutney.
--> Update 3rd visit: This time I sat in the sheesha smoking section... and nearly collapsed from oxygen deprivation! I'd rather recommend smoking sheesha in one of Dubai's many outdoor venues instead. Leave a Comment

Legends Steak House is located in the clubhouse of the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. I do love a good steak, and as Legends was rumoured to serve up some of the best in town, plus it was located close to our hotel, it seemed inevitable we would end up there one night.
We arrived by taxi, and as it turned out the driver dropped us off at the wrong part of the complex. No problem, a golf buggy was arranged to ferry us to the main club building where Legends was located. This was the type of top class service we received the rest of the evening.
The restaurant is housed in a plushly decorated room, perhaps a little too 'mens club' for my taste, but who could fault those large, comfortable chairs. Eating inside, we were unable to enjoy the Dubai Creek views, but am sure the terrace is very popular on summer evenings. We were however, able to enjoy the amiable piano man, who played a mix of Christmas carols and Sinatra classics, though his occasional unusual singing did make us snigger a little.
We skipped starters, wanting to get straight to the meat. I am a lightweight, so ordered the small Rib Eye steak with steak cut chips, while Alex ordered the large size Angus Tenderloin steak with fries. Both steaks were excellent, with the Tenderloin the stand out - a melt-in-your-mouth kind of steak, perfectly pink and juicy. A bottle of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon was the perfect accompaniment.
Desserts were beckoning - well we couldn't leave as the piano man hadn't played all of our requests yet. Alex had the Apple Crumble, which he really enjoyed. I had the "Trio of Chocolates", which consisted of two Chocolate truffle tartlets, with chocolate covered ice cream balls and chocolate sauce. I was certainly chocolatey, but not as good as it sounded or looked.
We very much enjoyed our evening at Legends. It has that "special occasion" feel about it, but don't let that put you off, as the prices were reasonable and the service friendly enough to make it feel more relaxed than it looked. And there is that kooky piano man. Leave a Comment

 Interior of the
Saladicious restaurant,
Dubai by JessH,
4 more photos
On a rainy day in Dubai (what a rarity!) my friend & I had planned to have lunch at the Limetree Cafe, but then decided to use the great weather ;-) as an excuse to try the nearby newcomer on Dubai's eatery-scenery: Saladicious.
This truly is a little gem tucked-away just behind "The One" furniture store in Jumeirah. We were greeted by very friendly staff that seemed efficient but also still a bit nervous, trying to get "into the rhythm" of daily operations. The menu features mostly salad (what a surprise...) but also some soups & desserts.
There is a smoking and non-smoking section (the small outdoor terrace looked inviting, but it was raining after all!) & received a complimentary fresh mint drink to start, enjoyed some of the fresh warm bread with herb butter & olive pesto, then our 3-course meal arrived all with sufficient time and no rush in between courses, and finally we were treated to a small iced-coffee; again complimentary.
We had settled for the "Daily Gourmet Option" which costs 55 Dhs (USD 15) and includes a large plate of magnificent choices from their huge salad bar, a soup of your choice (the pumpkin soup was especially good!) and the main course of the day, which happened to be Mushroom Risotto. Their salad bar includes grilled Halloumi cheese, smoked Salmon & cream cheese rolls, 5 different types of dressing, grilled asparagus and of course plenty of crisp greenery... what a bargain!
To say that we were *stuffed* would be an understatement, and it was obvious that each & every dish had been made with the freshest ingredients and a lot of skill. But if you should somehow happen to have any space left, they also have some nice dessert options, both healthy and sinful... Oh, and did I mention that they also DELIVER...? Call 800-SALAD and min. order amount is Dhs 35 (USD 10).
The decor is pop-art pure, very modern and colourful but still somehow cosy. There's a small sofa-corner framed by 2 oversized garden gnomes, a long table where you can use your laptop for the wireless internet, and wonderful lighting & artwork.
Saladicious is perfect for lovers of healthy, fresh food and a very welcoming atmosphere, all at reasonable prices. This place comes highly recommended, especially if you're looking for tasty, waistline-friendly food in the otherwise fatty, fried, fast-food city of Dubai.
--> UPDATE JULY 2008: The menu is now far more extensive, including various pasta dishes, soups and sandwiches. The salad buffet still encompasses a huge variety of choices. My mother ordered an a-la-carte Chicken Salad (Dhs 45), which was so huge that she couldn't finish it. I enjoyed a French onion soup (Dhs 28) made with vegetable stock (you may choose which stock you like) and John had Broccoli Soup with freshly baked rolls. Almost 2 years after I wrote my initial tip about Saladicious, I still highly recommend it!

 Mango Cheesecake at Limetree
Cafe Ibn Battuta Mall by JessH, 2 more photos
The Lime Tree Cafe in Jumeirah is virtually impossible to miss: it's the only house painted bright green! The cafe itself is a house with its own small garden with a lovely seating area & water feature, and from the very beginnings in 2002 it was welcomed as a fresh and highly appreciated addition to the Dubai coffee-sipping scene.
Its location smack-bang in the middle of Jumeirah is great for tourists that are out to explore Dubai on foot or by short taxi rides: the Jumeirah Mosque, Al Ittihad House/Flag, the smaller Jumeirah shopping malls, Mercato Mall and of course the beaches, are all within hopping distance.
Upstairs you'll find another seating area, as well as the washrooms & a lovely outside terrace where you can enjoy the sun and the view of the ocean across the street. (no smoking inside)
You can find another Limetree Cafe with outside seating area at the Ibn Battua shopping mall as well. I actually prefer this location, as it's usually quieter and more relaxing.
This is the sort of place that attracts a loyal clientele of business people grabbing a quick, satisfying lunch & tourists on their way to/back from the beaches...
NOTE: This is in no-way meant to offend anyone; I'm definitely no "child-hater"!, but I just want you to be advised that mums with (screaming) kids also like coffee-sipping here, so if you want some peace & quiet it's best to visit either early in the morning, or after lunch time, or simply sit on the upstairs balcony (child-free zone).
The food is great, prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is lovely & the concept unique: there aren't many good cafes with such nice outdoor seating in Dubai -
I highly recommend it!
The menu for breakfast specials, lunch, dinner or simply coffee & a snack offers unique alternatives to boring club sandwiches & salads: there are many healthy options (such as grilled fish & vegetable skewers, an assortment of innovative salads, pasta & sauces) and trust me on this one: throw all of your diet-intentions out of the window, for you MUST try one of their fabulous home-made muffins (peach & chocolate) or cake!
Your order is taken directly at the counter, and your food is then brought to your table. Surely, this is easier on the waiting staff and gives you time to look at the daily selection of yummy food, but the queue can get quiet long between 12:30pm - 02:30pm.
Jumeirah: Opening Hours: 07:30am - 08:00pm.
Lime Tree Cafe also has a branch at the Ibn Batutta Mall

This is my number 1 favourite Indian restaurant in Dubai.
Looking at this little-known & little-advertised hotel in Bur Dubai, you wouldn't expect to find a culinary gem tucked away inside... I certainly didn't! That was until my friend Siddharth told me to try what must be one of the loveliest & most authentic Indian restaurants in town.
Forget the depressing sterility of many high-end restaurants: this ornate Indian is full of patrons who want to eat & drink copious amounts, sing along to the band with high-pitched singers & a wild-ish dancing, and generally enjoy themselves. You can even purchase some Indian souvenirs and trinkets at a little stall outside the restaurant's front door.
It's a relatively small venue with silver goblets, heavy wooden furniture, glass-top tables displaying scattered spices & pulses, red candles and a big helping of that warm, fuzzy feeling you only get in a place where both large families, loved-up couples & a bunch of friends are at ease laughing & reminiscing over bowls of gorgeous food -
this place feels so genuine, it's my absolute favourite.
The golden rule of authentic dining: if Indians eat here, it has to be good - and indeed they do. I looked around: there were only 5 non-Indians in the restaurant, including John & I... fantastic. ;-)
The menu is extensive and divided into comprehensive sections for vegetarian or non-vegetarian, spicy or mild dishes. It's good value for money, very attentive service & great for an evening of relaxed fun & feasting.
We had a selection of starters, including scrumptious Panner Tikka for starters, followed by yummy (spinach) Palak Paneer. For extra spice, try the Hyderabadi vegetables & John had incredibly rich & flavoursome Jinga (prawn) Jalfrezi. And if you like Dal, try the Urud Dal or Dal Makhani (black lentils); it's amazing! And if you can't finish all the food (which we couldn't!) there's no problem with having the surplus packed to take home (which we often have to do!)
On our most recent visit (July 2008) John ordered the Butter Chicken, whilst we both really enjoyed a bottle of King Fisher beer :-)
God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue.
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum.
It's like the first taste love of vindaloo that sets your heart on fire.
And if you let her stuff get into you, it will be all that you desire.
When you make love to the sweet tantric priestress
Drinkin' in the bliss of delight.
But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow
The time I'm gonna get it right,
She's gonna wet my appetite.
(Sweet Taste of India - Aerosmith)
Opening Hours: Daily from 12:30pm - 03:00pm & 07.30pm - 02:00am.

This is my 3rd favourite Indian restaurant in Dubai.
Aangan (in the Dhow Palace hotel) - a name that implies an authentic courtyard - is a truly harmonising stage on the path to culinary enlightenment.
Indian food can go terribly wrong; all smothered in gravy, swimming in oil, choked by spices. Or it can do the great Indian magic trick: balancing flavours, textures & colours.
We entered the dimly lit, wood-finished restaurant at 08:30pm to a flurry of slightly chaotic attention. We were "too early" for authentic dining; a typical pair of "ignorant Westerners" that fail to give-in to the fact that sub-continental dinning starts around 11:00pm ;-) But shortly after our first bottle of Kingfisher (memories of Goa drifted back into my mind...) a large Indian family arrived complete with the visit of a semi-famous Bollywood actress, and a more relaxed mood settled in. There was only one other non-Indian couple in the entire restaurant… an excellent sign of a promising authentic experience.
The 5-man & 1-woman band started humming along to the skillful sitar playing... a bit loud for private conversation, but hey! No curry tastes 100% right without a sitar playing in the background... haha!
"In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God." - Ravi Shankar.
We pondered the medium-size but varied menu; the dishes are explained helpfully for the non-Indian guest... and when in doubt, always ask them to "make it less spicy / mild."
John & Siddharth tucked into the complimentary crispy poppadum, fruity chutneys & mint sauce. For starters we had Paneer Tikka: crispy, hot & well spiced. But the true star was the Aloo Mattar Babycorn Tikki: a delicious potato-pea-corn patty that melts in your mouth... divinity on a plate!
The main courses arrived, and to the last morsel they were a revelation.
> John's Kadai Jhinga (Dhs 80) was creamy & wonderfully aromatic, jumbo prawns bathing in a sea of thick sauce with cardamom, saffron, onions & tomatoes.
> My Fish Curry Noorani was superb, with a chunky sauce & 5 large pieces of juicy fish, cooked to perfection.
> Siddharth's dish of butter-chicken kebabs had the boys grinning with delight.
> And then there was the Dal Makhani – the dish with which I tend judge the quality of an Indian restaurant. This one was a delicious buttery brown, a bit too liquid for my liking by still the ideal partner for a piece of hot & crispy garlic-butter naan (mixed naan platter Dhs 24).
Yes, the dishes cost a bit more: starters range between Dhs 30 - 60, but it comes with the territory: this is a 5-star hotel after all.
Summary: this place is superb for an evening of upmarket Indian dining.
And if you can't finish all the food (which we couldn't) there's no problem with having the surplus packed to take home (which we did)
SEATING: 120 people.
DRESS CODE: Smart-casual.
Opening Hours: Daily 12.30pm - 03.30pm & 07.30pm - 01:00am

Al Dawaar at The Hyatt Regency (5 star) is Dubai's only revolving restaurant & is located on the 25th floor: It spins at a rate of one complete turn every 2 hours; just enough time to see it all during a unique & relaxed lunch or dinner.
This highly sophisticated venue's decor is chic and classy, with attentive waiters and soft background music. This is one of the city's all-time favourites, and not just for tourists - so it's highly adviseable to make reservations.
You get a great view of the airport, the never-ending traffic, the entrance to the Creek as well as the port and the sea. An awe-inspiring buffet allows you to choose from an extensive selection of food from salads to shrimp to lobster; with specialities from Arabic, Chinese, European and Novelle Cuisine... you'll definitely be re-filling your plate more than once ;-)
Dinner Buffet: AED 205.- per person (drinks charged extra)
Lunch Buffet: AED 165.- per person (drinks charged extra)
(Prices in year 2008)
1 US Dollar = 3.67 AED (UAE Dirhams)
TIP: Watch out for the cost of any extra drinks: they are at least 40% more expensive than in most bars & clubs.
TIP: Ladies should bring a light shawl / pashmina with them, as the airconditioning can be very cold.
Open daily: For buffet lunch from 12:30pm - 03:30pm and
for dinner from 07:00pm - midnight.
You may also order items from their great a-la-carte menu, but this restaurant has gone down in Dubai's hall-of-fame for it's enormous, luxurious buffet and that's what I'm going to enjoy!
Special Offer for children: For Friday brunch, each child up to the age of 6 years dines free, and each child aged between 7 - 12 years receives a 50% discount when accompanied by 2 paying adults.
This is also a very nice place for Xmas dinner or Xmas-day lunch.
UPDATE early 2008: this may be one of Dubai's oldest hotels, but their recent rennovation work is now completed with a new, chic, modern and sophisticated luxurious look. I'm very impressed with the change!
--> Please note that since the beginning of 2008, this restaurant employs a no-smoking policy.

Dubai is notorious for having plenty of outdoor restaurants that come with a free side-order of car fumes & accompanying sound-effect of traffic; but Don Corleone's is a world away from that: surrounded by illuminated palm trees, green grass & the occasional lazy fat cat walking past your chair.
This is one of the city's little hidden gems that has been quietly tucked away in the hotel's gardens for years, unchanged by Dubai's usually modernising touches & glamorous makeovers: Here, what you see is what you get and it is simply beautiful.
Don Corleone is cosily-kitschy on the inside, with obligatory red-chequered table cloths & fake grapes hanging from the ceiling, but also has a big terrace if you enjoy eating alfresco on cooler nights - this is a great place to enjoy the warm Dubai evenings before the brutality of summer chases us indoors.
The speakers are usually showering your ears with "Godfather-esque" tunes & some Italian favourites that add perfectly to the general mood, but never too loud to disturb your conversation.
The prices are reasonable for both food & drink; the portions are just right. It's unpretentious, always good quality & the staff is knowledgeable & attentive.
TIP: All of the above make this place very popular, so remember to make reservations.
Try the Risotto with Salmon & Asparagus, or one of their gorgeous crispy pizzas with traditional or unique toppings (my friend Amir (VTer 37SingleMaleinDubai1) was in love with this pizza! Haha!) There are plenty of vegetarian options & the staff are very helpful if you want to "customise" certain dishes on the menu. John absolutely loves their CALZONE Pizza, for which you can choose your preferred filling. For a 2-course dinner for 2 people (without drinks) we usually pay Dhs 250 (approx. 70 US $).
--> UPDATE April 2008: Try their new Friday Brunch Special: from 11am - 4pm, live cooking stations Dhs. 120 (drinks not included).
It's also in a pretty easy-to-reach location, which is important in today's traffic-crazy city! This was also our choice for a VT Meeting in April 2006. Click here for the pictures.
Opening Hours:
Lunch: 12:30 pm - 03:00pm
Dinner: 07:00pm - midnight.
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie
That's amore.
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
You're in love...
