Behrouz is a brand with an interesting story. Legend whispers of a mythical kingdom called Behrouz, 2000 years ago, which rose to popularity around the world for its recipe of layered rice and secret spices. A recipe that lured Kings and masses alike; A dish that we now know as Biryani. The recipe was lost forever when King Cyrus laid siege to Behrouz until it was discovered amongst the ruins. This Biryani, has brought back to life this lost recipe of Behrouz. Today Behrouz is here in Dubai to placate the palates of the discerning biryani connoisseur. This delivery only concept based in Business Bay area caters to most part of Dubai and they have an efficient fleet of delivery personnel. Last week in the mood for some authentic Biryani, I ordered Ghosht biryani from this place. The order arrived on time immaculately and in perfect condition. The packaging was impressive and there was not a spill of any kind anywhere.  The taste of authentic spices wafted through th...

The cuisine of Memsaab reflects a diversity of taste and culture of South Asia. They offer a L avish spread of authentic dishes ranging from tempting appetizers to delicious desserts in a very simple and laid back setting. I visited on Friday with a good friend who is also happens to be a big lover of Biryani. I was told the Biryani at Memsaab food is one of the best in town so I took her there. We started off with Lemon mint which was refreshing and chilled us down on a sultry summer noon. In starters we commenced with Murgh Kali Mirch and Chicken Malai tikka. Both of them looked similar in appearance but different. While the Kali mirch was slightly flavorful and spicy, the malai tikka was juicy and creamy. I must say that the quality and taste of these appetizers were remark...

'Yugo' in Japanese means - to fuse; to blend; to combine; to integrate. The chefs at Yugo Sushi have improvised on the traditional Japanese recipes. Adding their own twist to it; they've ensured it does not contradict the traditional flavor and taste that we love so much.  I was there recently with blogger Suren Rajamohan and we had a good time. We tried out some very authentic japanese dishes. We started off with Yugo singnature and watermelon sencha mocktail. Both were refreshing.  In starters we had Salmon avocado tartare, yellowtail uzukuri, bang bang shrimp, salt and pepper calamari, and salmon avocado. All these items tasted authentic and were of standout quality.  In the mains I had my usual favourite Katsu curry while my dining companion had Gyodon.  We had also ordered spicy salmon uramaki and volcanic roll. They were delicious. Check this place out guys!! They are at Almas Tower, JLT and they have another branch in the green...

This summer there is a cool new venue called FEL Restaurant that has opened in Duja Tower on Trade Centre Road in Dubai. A Californian restaurant with a globally inspired cuisine with culinary influences coming from as far as Peru in the west and Japan on the east, FEL, strives to create a beautiful melange of tastes to tantalize the palettes of the ardent foodie.  They feature a very simple and straightforward menu with select items, but the culinary artists at FEL try to create masterpieces of every single dish served there. They have Vegetarian, Vegan and healthy dining options. We started off with Watermelon Aqua Fresca and ice Spanish late to beat the heat. Truffle scrambled egg in the breakfast menu sounded intriguing so we ordered that for the starters. My dining companion went for omelette Mexicali. Both amazing dishes and a great breakfast to have any day. I like that FEL serves an all day breakfast menu and for someone like me who lov...

Sometimes it is dining at the stars, other times it is visiting authentic joints that revive fond memories of home and take me close to the roots. Yesterday of all days, I was missing the traditional keralite food big time, so I decided to visit Mota Fish restaurant situated in Al Barsha. The restaurant has been featured in the posts and stories of many a blogger so decided to try it out and figure out for myself, what the hype is all about. A humble malabari shack serving some very popular naadan dishes mota fish seems to have found a niche clientele who love their philosophy of food. I visited with a friend who is a foodie and blogger himself, so it was fun. We started off with some lemon mint soda, which was a tad too salty for my liking. In appetizers we ordered two of our very favourite dishes - Natholi fry and prawns fry. Natholi was super crunchy as I would prefer it to be and prawns I felt was kind of overdone to an extend that it lost it's very intrinsic flavour ...

The team were very good and despite their restaurant manager being not available at the venue,they took very good care of us. Waiters Bilal and Sofiane were a very friendly bunch who went over and beyond their roles to ensure we had a good time.  We started off with some healthy ...

Moriz is one of the newest restaurants that has joined the now popular food street of Al Nahda. Situated adjacent to the popular Biryaniwallah and Co, Moriz serves Indian, Chinese, Kerala, Arabian and Middle Eastern cuisines. On entering the restaurant the first thing you'll notice is the coziness. Mirrors on all sides give it an illusion of being a bigger restaurant than it actually is. Clever job from the architect. The lighting is soothing but some might find it tad overly cozy, resembling a spa or something like that. It was red all over and gave a different vibe altogether. But certainly never one like you would experience in any other keralite restaurant in Dubai. We started off with some drinks. I had ordered masala fanta while my dining companions ordered fruit punch - which seemed more like orange juice topped with vanilla ice cream.  With my drink, the restaurant attempted to create a thumbs up soda kind of drink however it lacked the punch i would expect from...
