Restaurants #12 Der Keller (Jumeirah Beach Hotel)

It's a place for meat lovers and especially for that ones that love pork! They specialize in a German cuisine but as a Pole I must say some of them are really similar to those one can find in Polish cuisine. Those two are similar.

Restaurant is in Jumeirah Beach Hotel - wave shape building near Al Arab. It looks like a german bierkeller with wooden tables and benches. Crew is from all over the world and what's important they know what they are selling - believe me it is not a standard in Dubai.

All of them are dressed in Bavarian costumes - and filipino girls dressed like Heidi look cute :)

They sell huge variety of german beers including weissbiers - my favourites.

Pork knuckle - my friends love it!

German wursts :D

Salmon trout

I recommend it! Great place for a nice meal and beer with friends.

Restaurants #11 /Bu Qtair - fresh fish from the fisherman/

Maybe restaurant is a bit too much to say, but this is a place where they give to eat and it is  sooooo good: D so you might as well call it restaurant.

It is open from 12.30 am to 3.00 pm and then from 6:30 pm to midnight (Saturday - Thursday), and after prayers on Friday. The place is always crowded! And the food is delicious and cheap! It is a bit difficult to get there and taxi drivers often do not know the place. 

Coming from Dubai Union House when you are driving Jumeirah Road, turn right into the street called 35A just before the Emarat petrol station (one with Mc Donald) near Dubai London Clinic. Drive to the end of 35A street and than turn left. This is a time to start to look out for Bu Qtair on the left hand side, white container between fishing boats. It is near the Burj Al Arab.

Ordering procedure - go inside, select  your fish or shrimp (what is available depends on what  they caught so you can be sure that it is fresh). Then you have to wait in line for a table that you get along with the course. 

For fish and shrimps we paid 100 dirhams - the shrimp are of course more expensive and I have to say that for two of us it was a little too much. In addition, we ordered 3 parathas, two waters, two teas, curry sauce and salad and we paid 11 dirhams!

Shrimps

Restaurants #9 /Tribes, Mall of the Emirates/

Fot. www.gulfvantage.com

Tribes (Mall of the Emirates) - South African restaurant which serves the best burgers on the world :)

I've never been a fan of burgers, not that I didn't eat them, but it was not my favorite dish. However burgers in Tribes is a different story! Bakeroll is not a piece of something like a soft toasted bread, it is crispy. Meat - cooked just as you like - I like medium rare and I always get it. There is a large selection of burgers, there's something for everyone :) My favorite is the pesto burger. The burgers are served with homemade chips.

At the beginning one always get freshly baked bread. There are several types: with walnuts, tomatoes, peppers - I ate a few and they are all incredibly good. You can also buy the bread - it is not the cheapest one, because it costs 15 dirhams, but worth it.

Starters, if iyou are not extremely hungry after eating it one will not have room for the main course. Main dishes - burgers of course, steaks, chickens and fish curry etc.

Bread which I wrote about earlier was so good that we ate all before I made pictures hehe. Leaving only crumbs and butter.

Restaurant is very nice designed. It is in the Fashion Dome in Mall of the Emirates, on the fountain square.

 Pavel has ordered Madagaskar Chicken (1/2 chicken) with baked potatoes.

And this is my Cape Malay fish curry - delicious! 

In the bowl, there is something which surprised me completely - thick cream with dill and radish - surprisingly Polish taste!! And a rice with a hint of coconut.

Bill:
Madagascar chicken - 75 aed
Malay fish curry - 80 aed
Fresh pineapple juice - 22 aed
Coke - 9 aed

We had a Entertainer Fine Dining coupon, which took from the bill a price of the cheaper dishe so we paid 110 aed.

This is Entertainer Fine Dining.

Restaurants #8 /Karachi Darbar Restaurant, Bur Dubai/

From the series 'restaurants in Dubai'. 
Today about Pakistani restaurant in old Dubai, to be more precise it is in Bur Dubai. Restaurant is located next to Dubai Creek, near the Dubai Old Souq Marine Transport Station - abra station. Abras are part of the public transport (photo below). About the Dubai Creek and the 'old' Dubai will write soon.

Coming back to restaurant - below you can see neon of Karachi Darbar Restaurant. It is a local chain of restaurants. There are several under this name in Dubai and the surrounding towns. It serves Indian, Pakistani and a little bit of Chinese cousine. The restaurant itself can not encourage to eat in because of the appearance, but appearances can be deceiving - the food is delicious!!! This is not just my opinion, everyone whom I took there was delighted!

When I first visited the place, tables outside were metal as it is now, but oil paint was peeling out. There were plastic chairs, filthy plastic chairs :) We were the only Europeans so they equipped us with a cutlery, all other guests were eating, as it is in their culture, with theirs hands.

This time, for the first time, we walked in to the room on the first floor, which is called 'Family de Lux' :) It has one major advantage - it has AC? You can call eating outside in mid-September, extreme sport, especially for tourists :)

Our order:
Hot and sour soup - 7 aed. Well seasoned with plenty of vegetables.

Prawn masala with KDR gravy - 20 aed

Butter Nan - 2,5 aed. I love it.

Two types of Tikka Masala (15 aed), chicken and mutton (both looks very similar so I place only one photo). Very hot, but eatable. 

Chicken biryani (15 aed) served with gravy. Rice in biryani is seasoned with saffron.

I really don't know why I didn't takle a photo of my Palak Paneer - goat homemade cheese, in hot spinach gravy. 

We orderes Masala Chai - like always. A cup of tea with milk and spices. It is prepared from the water, milk and spices - all you need is to boil water with milk and spices, then add the black tea leaves and boil it again - yummy!

Restaurants #7 /Saffron, Atlantis The Palm/

Saffron

One of the restaurants at Atlantis Hotel at Palm Jumeirah. The restaurant operates as  buffet. Serves meals in breakfast and dinner time and they have Friday brunch as well.
Dinner buffet costs 220 dirhams, price excluded drinks. From what I remember draft Tiger (big one) costs 45 dirhams and a small 33 dirham.

A fountain in the hotel lobby. 

The restaurant itself looks a bit like a big canteen, but pleasant one. Between the tables are placed 'islands' of different cuisines. There are Thai, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, one with bread, salad bar, sweets and European island. 

This in my plate after a visit on the Japanese Island. Delicious!

Thai Island

Chinese Island

Sweets Island

The choice is huge, I couldn't try all. But the palate was in heaven: D

There were some dishes that were distasteful - for example in the Chinese section - roast duck. I don't know how it was seasoned, but for me it was inedible, I couldn't even swallow it. Part of pasties were terribly sweet and biscuits used to dip in the chocolate fountain tasted old.

But generally, the food is delicious!

In Entertainer - Gold Edition (Dining) you can find voucher for this restaurant.
