Step inside the specialist dessert emporium that is Maya and experience chocolate with all your senses. A luscious rich chocolate aroma fills the air – if it was any stronger you would be able to taste the cocoa on your tongue. Visually it is a feast for the eyes with an elegantly designed interior in […]

Restaurant Review: Market by Jean Georges, W Hotel, Westbay
Walking through the W Hotel lobby gives you a sense of what to expect when you sit down for a meal at Market by Jean Georges. Stylish and fresh the restaurant has a well-thought out design. There are varied seating options from larger tables for bigger groups to small tables with armchairs for those looking […]
Restaurant Review: Paul, Landmark Mall, Al Gharafa
Paul is synonymous with all things French from freshly-baked pain (bread to you and me), to sandwiches, soups, quiche and beautifully presented sweet tarts and macarons. My dining companion and I visited Paul with some enthusiasm looking for a decent hearty and filling meal. With such a successful international brand there comes an expectation of […]
Christmas/Holiday Foodie Gift Guide (2014)
Christmas is here – yes it is that time of year again – or as I prefer to call it the ‘holiday season’. For those of you used to much colder holiday seasons it may be a surprise to be celebrating in temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. With indoor shopping malls it is easy to […]
Restaurant Review: Montreal Bread Company, The Gate Mall
On an evening out I visited the Montreal Bread Company with a dining companion. Located on the first floor of the mall this eatery has a contemporary feel about it and the place has a modern sleek design to it. The seating is varied however I would say the table height to chair height ratio […]
Restaurant Review: Pizza Express, City Centre Mall and Villagio Mall
Pizza Express is a brand synonymous with healthy fresh Italian food. But how does it translate across in the Middle East market? I have enjoyed eating at the restaurant several times at different locations and at different times of the day. The staff members are helpful but unobtrusive although, like most chain restaurants, they do […]
Restaurant Review: Fuddruckers, Ezdan Mall
Located on the ground floor of Ezdan Mall Fuddruckers has a lot of competition from other chain restaurants serving American cuisine. The interior is designed to be welcoming, especially for bigger groups, with seating arrangements in place to accommodate large groups. The brand name is emblazoned everywhere you look in a rather overly brash confidence […]
Restaurant Review: Asha’s, Villagio Mall
For those who do not know their Indian singers the restaurant Asha’s is a food venture headed by the famous Indian Bollywood vocalist, Asha Bhosle. For that alone I was excited to try the place for an evening meal. The restaurant is based in the food court of the mall and as a result it […]
Restaurant Review: Johnny Rockets, Ezdan Mall
I love the movie ‘Back To The Future’ with the main character belting out ‘Johnny B. Goode’ in a pivotal scene. So entering this chain restaurant I felt very positive about its décor representing the 1950s with the red booths, mini jukeboxes and other nostalgic touches. Perhaps a little biased towards the fun of that […]
