    The Greek way of Life!

    Since I have been away for too long I must share with my readers that I have been traveling and living my life in Greece! It was a much-needed break after the turmoil we all went through because of the pandemic. Greece, one of the most beautiful country ….the weather …the food…..its beauty ….or its culture……Greece is a must-visit for its people! This country really believes in “Guest is God”…the term I learned in the hospitality industry. Every town or city or a small village in Greece really knows how to treat its visitors well. One of the most unique ways of showing their love was through their food. It…

    An Oasis in the Desert…The Farm, Al Barari

    Well, not really a farm but yes a densely green part of UAE is the Al Barari area. The restaurant “The Farm” is designed beautifully with green pathways and bridges connecting a man-made water body to the green part of the restaurant. Ambience Sections are designated within the restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor areas, but my suggestion…the outdoor is better. Not the best decision to visit the restaurant in the summer months, however, it is really beautiful in winters and early summer. Food They serve global cuisine, have a lot of variety that I am sure the menu is designed for guests with all preferences and tastes. As…

    The Taste of Tradition- Sikka Café, La Mer!

    Sikka Café, a local homegrown restaurant that gives the taste of the most unique cultures prevailing in Dubai. This restaurant serves the most flavorful dishes from Emirati, Arabic, Indian and Persian cuisine. Sikka Café is located right at La Mer beach with well-designed indoor and outdoor seating areas. We had visited this spectacular restaurant on an occasion and they offered us a pre-planned three-course menu with non-alcoholic beverages for dinner. Well, to begin with, the first course, was a meal in itself. The appetizers with a cold mezze platter were not only a treat for my eyes but delicious. Not to miss, the first course was accompanied by “Saudi Champagne”.…

    MAC EDITION- Mac N Cheese, Dubai! …Food Review

    Ultimate comfort food is now in Dubai at various locations around the Emirate. Mac n cheese is the most crave-worthy American dish that is relished by both grownups and children. A perfect portion of this dish can although add enough calories that would make you regret the next day but the satisfaction is surely worth it. A great choice for your cheat day! I recently came across the MAC EDITION- Mac N Cheese restaurant on Zomato and immediately ordered the first thing on the menu that I saw, The Bolognese Mac along with my all-time favorite Grilled cheese Turkey Sandwich. Much to my disappointment, the Mac and cheese had a…

    As “Authentic” as it can be…Lucknowee…Restaurant Review!

    One of the hidden gems of Dubai…Lucknowee restaurant at Al Karama is a small cozy family restaurant with a Royal themed ambiance. They have an interactive open kitchen concept which is basically the tandoor section of the kitchen. Thinking of dining at “Lucknowee” consider trying everything on the menu. The restaurant serves few dishes but the best ones from Lucknow. There is “Tunday Kebab” which is basically the best kebabs in Dubai. Most dishes have their accompaniments which would make your ordering simpler. Limited but the best is on their menu and every bit of it is worth trying. Each preparation brings out its own distinct flavors and appearance. Most…

    Love at First Sip – Starbucks!

    Everyone has their own personal favorites at Starbucks, but I have one very special coffee concoction that I would like to share with all my readers, and please… it’s a must-try! I recently went through a Starbucks “Drive-Thru” near my house; I was fortunate to encounter a very good service experience. Their service staff suggested a new option for me “Doubleshot Iced Shaken Espresso”. This is was a magic drink and a perfect amalgamation of Espresso…syrup…iced-shaken…and a dash of cold milk. This coffee is incomplete without “White Mocha”. Moreover, with my personal experience and taste preference, a minimum of 4 shots of white mocha is when you would really get…

    Boston Lane Cafe Dubai…New neighborhood Coffee Shop!

    Neighbourhood coffee shops are the most important and convenient places to have especially when they have great indoors and your go-to coffee that brightens your day. Being a coffee lover I crave evening coffee whenever out and about in the city. I recently explored a new coffee place at the Ripe Market since it seemed very popular throughout the day. Boston Lane for me was a very lively looking food truck with extremely helpful and happy staff. Their smiling faces with friendly nature would surely make your day. My Coffee Experience Well, I have had better coffee, I had opted for a regular Iced Latte but I could hardly taste…
