Ready? Let’s go!
#1. Asian Garden
If you need to grab hold of your breakfast quite early, Asian Garden might not be your best bet because the restaurant opens at 11.am from Monday to Saturday. But I bet you, it’s definitely worth the wait. Sumptuous Thai meals that won’t break the bank are just some of the compensations for your patience. Thai foods, Filipino and Chinese delicacies are some of the gourmet cuisines these guys have cracked so well. Visit the Asian Garden and I can guarantee you will go back for more.
#2. Marroush
This restaurant might not have the trappings of a 7-star café. But you can’t fault it when the conversation shifts to great, yummy food. If anything, excellent customer service is one thing you can’t fail to notice here. This restaurant is open from as early as 8a.m all through 2am, and with Dhs100, you can be sure of a decent dinner for two.
#3. Al Africana
The name alone says it all; delicious and exclusive African dishes are what you get for visiting this spot. From pounded yam with egusi soup to all the variety of shaki (tripe), cow-leg and efo riro, Al Africana would keep you salivating for delicious Nigerian dishes. Seated on the Building 5173 just behind City Seasons Hotel near Spinneys, Al Africana is home away from home for the Nigerian traveler.
#4. The Royal Vegetarian
From the outside, this restaurant may not come across as a cafeteria with open arms inviting the customer in, but if you can muster the courage to make it in, some very good Indian dish at very affordable prices are what you get. Situated in a small space on Hamdan Street, Royal Vegetarian is every vegetarian’s delight. On the menu, you are likely to find samosas, kaddais, chaats, masalas, koftas and kormas.
#5.Pizza Amore
Italian menu forms the forte of this restaurant. An assortment of Spaghetti Fruitti di mare, Toscana, shrimps, calamari, Mussels and seafood sauce are some of the items on offer. By the time you run your fingers through the over 35 pizzas on offer plus its pasta dishes, you will wonder less why the restaurant is named Pizza Amore. Great idea, if you love pizza like I do.
#6.Max’s Restaurant
If you love great, spicy chicken, you will love Max Restaurant. And if all that matters to you is great Filipino meals that won’t dig holes in the pockets, Max’s Restaurant is a must try. Again, like Marroush, great customer service is what stands them out. Tucked away behind a labyrinth of buildings on the East Corniche Road, here is one spot where Philippine culture comes bold and alive in form of tasty delicacies.
