Prawns Rechado DoinDubai Goan Food

 

GRUBSHACK AUTHENTIC GOAN IN HEALTHCARE CITY

A great GOAN find in Health Care City. Very busy with families eating lunch on a Friday, we loved the Rechado Goan style prawns with rice. First much smaller branch set up in Sharjah by a Goan couple who now live in Jumeirah. Must also try the Kulfilicious ice cream which you need after the spicy Goan prawns. Chicken Xiacuti also a favourite with our party.  Do you know any other Goan restaurants in Dubai?

Street Food Market DXB DoinDubai Moti Roti

 

TOP PICS FOR THE STREET FOOD MARKET

We really liked the atmosphere at the Street Food Market Dubai last Thursday, it’s on again this week end and makes a great evening out. AED 10 to enter then pay for what you consume and that includes alcoholic beverages. DoinDubai’s top pics from the market would be The lamb seekh kebabs from Moti Roti, the papaya salad from Cafe Isan and the custard tarts from Nattas Portuguese bakery. The sweet potato fries were a great hit with everyone from Pies and Fries. Check it out this week end! We also liked the raclette and potatoes, but don’t go on the bucking bronco after this!

La Cantine du Faubourg Brunch 105 Clock and Menu copy

BREAKFAST IN PARIS IN BED AT LA CANTINE

I didn’t expect much of this brunch, but did like that it started at 12pm as on Saturday that’s still breakfast time for me! We LOVED the La Cantine brunch and would go again. Choose from a range of egg dishes to start then SMALL plates from their Signature selection, cheese or desserts to finish. Throw in some waiters in pyjamas wearing shades and dressing gowns, a gorgeous terrace and voila you’re in Paris in Dubai, nowhere near Global Village or Falcon City of Wonders!

SPICY VEGGIE FOOD KLUB IN KARAMA

A brand new Indian restaurant with it’s first branch in Dubai, the original is in Mumbai. Some vegetarian molecular gastronomy going on here, but have you ever tried Indian Italian food? They have a connected restaurant called Quatro that you can access from the SpiceKlub! We’re lunching in Kuwait Street!

 

Ladies Night Bice DoinDubai

LADIES NIGHT AT BICE EVERY THURSDAY!

Hmm so it seems venues are vying for custom offering deals on a Thursday now! We would recommend this Thursday evening deal for the Ladies. A new Ladies Night we went to it after the Street Food Market. This time at Bice at the Hilton. Unlimited prosecco from 9 till 11 pm accompanied by some selected canapes. Get a table on the terrace if you can. Very good value. Anyone know how long Bice has been established in Dubai? And if you liked this deal, then head on over to a NEW PAGE in our blog called Delicious Dining in Dubai – a bit more for a bit less. The best new deals that come into my inbox all in one place, the newest ones at the top! We like the Ladies Lunch deal at fine dining  Jodhpur 4 veg or non veg courses for AED 120 and the kids eat free at Arrows and Sparrows deal.

It is rare to find a partner who moves as quickly as Monica. We shared our staycation deal at Fairmont The Palm, and she had it publicized within 48 hours. She is incredibly reliable and has become a go-to resource for us when we need to get quality information in front of an engaged audience fast.

Monica - DoinDubai is incredibly responsive. In a market that is changing daily, we have a reliable partner for ensuring our latest updates reach the public accurately and quickly. Truly helpful for any brand.

Monica is the most responsive and genuine blogger we have ever worked with, we don't bother with many others.

We're very fussy about who we want our brand associated with, Monica is one of a small select group of Dubai media we love to work with.

I was pleasantly surprised with the size and interest of the audience at the Emirates Lit Fest talk for my book: Saudi Arabia - Vision or Mirage. I have no doubt this engagement is down to your excellent radio mention ahead of the event. Thank you Monica
