BBQ Theme Night Buffet At Loumi Arabian Restaurant

Author John Thomas
We were recently invited to review the BBQ Theme nights at Loumi - Millennium Airport hotel's Arabian restaurant and we gladly jumped on it. Here's why!

Spoilt for choice
At Millennium Airport hotel – one is easily spoilt for choice when it comes to wining or dining. The hotel boasts of an interesting collection of F&B concepts to suit all tastes. Whether you want to enjoy simple sun downers by the pool side, or indulge in elaborate specialty menus, Millennium Airport Hotel has it all covered.


We thought of taking advantage of the pleasant weather while it still lasts and headed straight to Loumi last Thursday. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time enjoying the festive spirits, free flowing bubblies, great food and relaxed weekend vibe.

About Loumi
An Arabic influenced all day dining concept serving breakfast, lunch & dinner - Loumi has everything on offer to elevate the overall dining experience of guests. Set in Millennium Airport Hotel’s tranquil alfresco surroundings overlooking the pool, Loumi currently offers a fascinating 'themed' dinner BBQ Buffet with great music entertainment, live cooking stations and an endless array of international buffet treats.   Al Fresco stations, in-house baked fresh bread, butcher-shop style meat selections and private dining rooms are some of many highlights that make it the perfect option for both business and leisure dining.



 The BBQ theme night

 The BBQ theme night buffet served as a perfect start to our weekend. The barbecue offered a wide selection of prime-cut meats, seafood and poultry items marinated to perfection. It also featured abundant home made fresh bread, garden greens, compound salads, fresh fruits and an impressive line-up of desserts.

The food
We started off by treating ourselves to a selection of fresh appetizers including the scrumptious quail egg canapes. We then progressed on to fresh salads. We took time to enjoy our starters and bubblies and when we were hungry enough to eat a camel, we went for the key highlight of the evening - The Barbecue.


We were treated to a massive line-up of meat, poultry and seafood including our regular favorites like lamb shanks, beef ribs, chicken charcoal grill, grilled prawns, and a whole lot more exquisite meat selections by the chefs. The best part of BBQ theme night was the live cooking station. We indulged to our hearts content without feeling shy! The quality of meat was fresh and the joy of selecting our preferred cuts and seeing it grilled to perfection on order - was one awesome experience.


As we passed the salad counter, we witnessed a pretty mean dessert line up along the way. We decided to save some space for a post meal sweet indulgence. We absolutely adored the selection of strawberry quiche, mango and chocolate cake, puddings, brownies and other delicious pastries.


 Ambiance
The ambiance is uber slick with luxurious sofas, chairs and elegant tableware. The restaurant had very comfortable seating and great indoor and outdoor dining areas and even a private dining suite. It can accomodate 100 guests indoor and 60 outdoor. The restaurant is super clean with shiny floors, stately décor and gorgeous lighting which serves as a perfect mood setter for a romantic, elegant and intimate meal.
The service
The staff were incredibly good, as always and we even had the Chef Sudesh Vithanage walk onto our table to find out if we were enjoying our dinner.  This was the highlights of our dining experience at Loumi and we can’t wait to go there and enjoy their warm hospitality again.

Verdict
If you are a fan of barbeque, you will fall helplessly in love with the Barbeque Theme night buffet at Loumi happening on Thursday & Friday from 19:00 - 23:30. The vast selection of high-quality meats are sure to enthral even the most voracious of meat lovers. Choose from your favourite meats or seafood from the al fresco station and have it barbecued to order! Chicken, beef and lamb marinated with condiments can be found near the live cooking stations out. Simply pick, grill and enjoy!

Dubai is known to have many hidden hotspots and Miss Wang is one of them.       A few blocks away from the computer complexes – Al Khaleej and Al Ain Centre, tucked away on the Al Fahidi Street is the 4 Star Majestic Hotel Tower . Located just a stone throws distance away from the Al Fahidi Metro station on the confluence of the old and new Dubai, Majestic hotel is a favorite not just among business travelers, but with the locals who reside in the vicinity, as well.     The Ambiance   Housed on the 1 st  level of this award-winning hotel, Miss Wang is a Restobar and hangout tavern like no other. From the very name – its easy to sense the verve, youthfulness as well as the 'orientality' of the place. This becomes even more evident as one walks in to the facility. Industrial style Filament bulb lighting and Brick-finished walls give the interior a character, warmth and texture while exuding a very Asian downtown hipster vibe.  This vibe can be further seen in the menu which has t

A Bong Affair at Dil Se Desi, Bur Dubai

  Bengal is home to one of the most diverse and unique cuisines in the whole of India and no two Bengali dishes are alike.     Having lived in the UAE for past thirteen years, I have had the good fortune to enjoy some varied international cuisines however, however there has been a big lacunae in the Bengali culinary space with very few restaurants specialised in Bengali fare. There are hardly any restaurants here in Dubai that cater to this segment.       I thank my good friend and blogger Subashree for introducing me to Dil Se Desi. This restaurant is an answer the long felt need for more north indian and bengali cuisine restaurants in this space.  The restaurant is run by a passionate couple who left their jobs to follow their dream of starting a restaurant that offered very true-to-roots simple and sincere fare that could be enjoyed by all.        I visited Dil Se Desi last week - a very humble and unassuming restaurant offering some very refreshing north eastern tastes. I enjoyed s

Enjoy a truly cultural experience in one of Dubai’s most progressive neighborhoods at Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant             Ethiopian cuisine has been gaining a whole new level of popularity globally off late and this is with good reason. The usage of highly nutritious native vegetables, spices and meat make Ethiopian cuisine one of the most unique and delicious cuisines in the world.  What's more, the Ethiopian national staple food - the Injera, is made of highly nutritious and gluten-free  teff  grain. This grain indigenous to the Ethiopian region, is known to contain a very high proportion of fiber — more than any other grain on Earth. It is also a complete source of protein, iron and calcium. These healthy properties coupled with the variety in culinary choices make Ethiopian food one of world's more favored food choices.   Sadly, if there’s one cuisine in Dubai that most people haven’t tried, it’s probably Ethiopian. With only a handful restaurants serving traditional Et

  After my recent visit to Gunaydin  – which in my opinion is the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai, my expectations from any Turkish restaurants have risen to all time high.   When I got invited from Zou Zou – the Turkish Lebanese restaurant at La Mer, I was all in for it, to try and compare. I visited Zou Zou last week with a very dear friend who is also a big foodie like me and a lover of all things Turkish.   So needless to say, we went there with lots of expectations and a hungry tummy of course. I must mention that Zou Zou didn’t disappoint.       First off I have to remark about the service. It was pleasant, warm and quick. I was met by Latif Kural the friendly operations manager who has played a role in the setting up several reputed Turkish restaurants in the Dubai.  He is a fine guy with a very pleasant disposition who ensured we felt 'at home'. Latif assigned a waiter de table  for us and made sure to drop in every now and then to check on us and see if we were enjoyi
