A Family Lunch @ Gal, Address Downtown Dubai

December 30, 2021.Reading time 8 minutes.

It was nice to return to Gal with the family, after a sneak peak of the venue in an event in the summer. With good weather in Dubai right now, we chose to sit outside in their terrace this time. Do not worry – every spot you choose, you will be overlooking the mammoth structure […]

A family Turkish breakfast @ Huqqabaz Jumeirah

December 13, 2021.Reading time 9 minutes.

Last weekend, we drove up to Jumeirah to review the newly opened Turkish restaurant – Huqqabaz. The name is quite familiar by now, isn’t it? With the first branch in Dubai Mall, and the other in MOE which we have just recently visited. How is Huqqabaz like? How does it differ from its other branches?

December 5, 2021.Reading time 8 minutes.

I had seen snippets of the Huqqabaz Garden on social media and was quite surprised to know that there was an outdoor cafe with a garden in Mall of the Emirates. You didn’t know that as well, did you? Did you know they also have displays of fine art within the venue?

Ramadan Kareem, all. Last week we returned to Huqqa in Dubai Mall with the family to review their iftar set menu. The girls were quite excited, not so much about the amazing Turkish food that they serve but about the Ipads they have in the restaurants. Priorities ay, kids these days.

A Lavish Turkish Breakfast @ Huqqa, Dubai Mall

November 23, 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

Back to Huqqa in Dubai Mall with the family last weekend to review what they had to offer for breakfast. We normally don’t do breakfast with the entire troupe as it’s just too much effort and time to get everyone ready on a Friday morning. But hey – if it’s at somewhere nice, with views […]

July 16, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

I’m no expert when it comes to Turkish cuisine. Unfortunately spending a couple of days in Istanbul on holiday doesn’t make you a pro. So here’s a review from someone who simply appreciates good food, a good spot and an overall good ambience 🙂

Turkish Meatery by the fountains @ Gunaydin, Souk Al Bahar Dubai

March 5, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

I was quite sad when I saw Urbano closed its doors. We used to take guests there for some good Italian, with a view of the fountains. After sometime, the construction boards came down and taking over was a new Turkish meatery – “Gunaydin” it was called. We had missed the media event, so requested […]
