There probably isn’t a restaurant\u00a0that has been on my ‘need to review’ list longer than Mint Leaf of London<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Having enjoyed our last trip to the Emirates Financial Tower<\/a>, Hubs and I were happy to return to visit Chef Pradeep (who was the genius behind a memorable lunch at Jodphur<\/a>), who has recently taken over the helm at Mint Leaf of London.\u00a0 Having seen a number of ‘grammable\u00a0options in my feed,\u00a0I wondered if the food would match the photos.\u00a0 Dodging a bit of Friday night construction in the lobby of Emirates Financial Towers, we made our way to the 16th floor and once inside, to our right into the dining room of the restaurant.\u00a0 Whereas the upstairs neighbors are in desperate need of an overhaul, Mint Leaf has a modern design, complete with an open kitchen.\u00a0 There is a good ratio of servers to diners, such that no one is left waiting and the wait staff clearly understand how to pace a meal.\u00a0 Seated near one of the floor to ceiling windows (hello, Burj Khalifa!) we are presented with menus, both for food and cocktails.\u00a0 With suggestions from the staff, we try some unique concoctions, and should you want to make the kids at home jealous, try the Garden Glow<\/em>.\u00a0 The cocktails add a fun flair to the evening, but also follow through on the taste.\u00a0 Of course, you can order wine and other spirits, but I would encourage you to give one of the signature cocktails a chance and to have your camera ready.<\/p>\n
