Poke and Co. take the delicious Hawaiian concept of Poke and make it a healthy and accessible option for everyone.
Poke is basically a raw fish salad, but with protein options like tofu and portobello mushrooms they bring some vegetarian variations, and with the use of zoodles (zucchini noodles) there’s also a light and healthy option.
When we first heard of Al Fanar, we thought it would be the usual Emirati food experience. Set inside the Town Centre mall, this branch of Al Fanar is a seafood only experience. And we were pleasantly surprised when we entered and were transported back to 1960s UAE.
Our verdict: Gorgeous setting that transports you back in time for a delicious Emirati seafood experience. Not to be missed.
Nestled on the beautiful marina promenade, is a little piece of Greece called Grecian Grill. A restaurant that treats you like family and serves food that could easily be home cooked from a Grecian household, prepared with the same love and care as if you were a guest in their home.
Our verdict: Grecian Grill gives you an insight into being in a Greek home. You will feel welcome and be served meals that are not only delicious but are as authentic as can be.
When you think of sushi and bento boxes in the UAE, you have to think about Sumo Sushi & Bento. It’s one of the oldest and most well established sushi brands here. This Japanese restaurant franchise was launched in 2000 and now almost two decades later have branches across the UAE as well as around the GCC with ongoing plans to expand in the near future. With their extensive menu including a decent vegetarian section along with specials each month, there really is something for everyone.
Both of us had our first sushi experience at Sumo Sushi & Bento many years ago, so for us it’s definitely a nostalgic place.
Our verdict: Great food with innovative dishes and an extensive menu, you will definitely find a dish or two to try out even if you’re not a sushi eater.
