Mohalla: Smart pricing and a creative menu in D3.

Mohalla: Smart pricing and a creative menu in D3.

In a slightly better turn of events than my failed breakfast (and then lunch) from the day before, my meal at Mohalla started off on an excellent note.  Although my ability to correctly park at D3 has not changed (I needed the steps, so who’s […]

Urth Caffe, Angeleno options in Dubai.

Urth Caffe, Angeleno options in Dubai.

Although I’m trying to be as keto (low carb) as possible, sometimes a girl’s gotta eat.  And sometimes, if I plan my schedule correctly, I can kill two birds with one stone.  Case in point, a trip to the newly opened Urth Caffe at CityWalk Dubai […]

Zuma, revisiting a classic.

Zuma, revisiting a classic.

Often, when I think of this blog, I’m reminded that I should’ve started it in…oh, 2007.  Or, at least when Instagram was getting off the ground.  Anyway, as I was late to the game, there are a number of venues which I visited in the past, […]

Tresind Revisited.

Tresind Revisited.

When I first started this blog back in 2016, Tresind was one of the first ‘big’ fine dining experiences I had in Dubai (read my original review, here).  I was struck by the creativity, which is also echoed in the sister restaurant, Carnival by Tresind, […]

Flamingo Room by Tasha’s.

Flamingo Room by tashas – where African Glamour meets the Arabian Sea.  Is that a thing? Whenever Flamingo Room by Tasha’s has popped up on my Instagram feed, I’ve always been impressed by the design of the restaurant.  Furthermore, having visited Tasha’s in Abu Dhabi […]

Desert Palm, Samāna Spa, & Rare: A triple threat close to town.

Desert Palm, Samāna Spa, & Rare: A triple threat close to town.

Having lived in Dubai for over ten years, I have been fortunate to visit Desert Palm on a few occasions (including a previous dining experience at Rare), and have always been impressed with how out of town it manages to feel, with remaining so close […]

This is the steak experience you’ve been looking for: Prime 68.

This is the steak experience you’ve been looking for: Prime 68.

Ever since reading about The Emireati’s experience at Prime 68, the venue has been on my radar.  Having had a delightful visit to Garden earlier in the year, I knew I was due to a follow up to the JW Marriott Marquis and a Wednesday in […]

Akiba Dori: Akihabara style in D3.

Akiba Dori: Akihabara style in D3.

I’ll admit, I’ve been negligent in visiting D3.  I just… Well, no excuses.  When a foodie friend showed an interest in the pizza on offer at the recently opened Akiba Dori, I thought it was a decent excuse to make amends and return to this […]

RIVA Beach: A relaxed day on the Palm.

RIVA Beach: A relaxed day on the Palm.

Even on vacation, I’m not the type who can lay by a pool for hours.  However, before the summer sets in, I thought a few hours in the sun would be a fun way to spend a Thursday afternoon in Dubai.  RIVA Beach Club is […]
