After hearing positive reviews about Kebabish from a few friends, me and my dining partner decided to check it last week. We were treated to some delicious Indian meat preparations, kebabs and grills. Kebabish has been around in business for two years now and very popular in the food delivery scene in Business Bay where it is located.

Cactus Jack's - Serving Authentic Mexican Fare with Flair!

Image
I am a huge fan of Mexican food. Well, honestly who doesn't enjoy a good plate full of fiery and delectable Mexican fare??! Authentic Mexican cuisine is vibrant, delicious, fresh and fun. It is also known to be spicy, with the usage of an amazing array of chilies and herbs, very much like the Indian food. But, more than the generous use of spices, there are a lot more similarities between Indian and Mexican cuisine that makes it so irresistible. It is the unique amalgamation of spices, seasonings and vibrant colors – that make the fare look appealing and taste as appetizing as it looks. So, needless to mention, when I got an invitation to review Cactus Jack’s the Award-wining Mexican Restaurant at the Millennium Airport Hotel, I jumped on the opportunity. All set to celebrate its 16 th Anniversary tomorrow (30th Jan) , Cactus Jack’s is a Latino hot spot frequented both by locals and expats alike. It is known famously for its frozen margaritas, mojitos and specialty fajita
