A restaurant (or its food) is not just about the food, its also about the whole experience behind it. We feel that this experience starts from the moment of grumble.
It’s a journey from when you started to feel hungry, or crave, and involves the journey of looking for the right restaurant, getting there, ordering, experiencing the cuisine and all the way up to the moment you leave.
The whole thing can either be a joyous experience or an ordeal you would soon forget.
Omnoms is not just about the food, its about the journey.

Muchachas

We attended a blogger meet* at the ever-so-pastel Muchachas, which is another eatery set up by the brains behind Tom & Serg, The Sum Of Us and Common Grounds. Wide space, long tables, warm lighting and a range of authentic dishes make up this Mexican Cantina. We sampled dishes from their ‘Off The Street’ menu hence got to try a bit of everything.

*Organized by aziz_anzia_dubai, we also met up with one_hungry_girl and shabosphere.

Our verdict: This Mexican Canteen style set up is all about sharing plates, fun and a chilled out atmosphere. Have a few drinks, share some latin flavoured bites and enjoy conversations with friends. Definitely a bit pricey but since it’s all about sharing, dining while in a group shouldn’t break the bank.

Russo’s New York Pizzeria – Spring Menu

One of our favourite pizza places to order from and visit from time to time, Russo’s New York Pizzeria doesn’t skimp out on flavours and decent portion sizes. We were thrilled to be invited to their spring menu tasting.

Our verdict: Fresh, healthy new additions to their themed spring menu and it did not disappoint. There are some items we would love for them to permanently add on. An existing pizza place attempting fresh, new healthier options is not something you might initially consider, but the team at Russo’s and Chef Ali’s creativity really shine through so definitely give it a try.

800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria, DCC

We visited 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria for a blogger meet* a few days ago. It was a first for us and was such great fun that we can’t wait to do it again.  Having ordered from 800 Degrees Pizzeria a few times before, we knew the food would be quite good, however this was the first time we actually dined in. Dining in gave us the opportunity to try a variety of dishes, besides the usual pizza and pasta, while also enjoying the venue and service.

Our verdict: 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria has a great selection of food across the board. Go for the pizzas but definitely try their soups, salads, drinks and desserts. A bit of everything!

Raju Omlet, Sheikh Zayed Road

Raju Omlet started off as a small, cosy little place in Karama serving egg-based desi breakfast faves all day long. From there they have become one of the most popular egg-based casual dining spots in UAE after they expanded to Sheikh Zayed Road (in Al Quoz) and Sharjah.

Our verdict: If you love eggs as much as we do and appreciate the ingenuity it takes to create an entire menu based off of one ingredient, you will definitely love Raju Omlet. You can try a different dish every time you visit. It’s affordable, delicious and flavoursome. One of our fave spots to eat in Dubai and definitely one of our #NomNorms. We can’t recommend it enough.
