I wanted to check out a frankie place in Dubai to blog about (post on that coming soon). When I mentioned it to Vineet ‘Potson’ Pabreja, he scoffed. Oh, how much this man can scoff. He started waxing eloquent about this place in Bur Dubai which has the best rolls “EVAAAAAR”. So off we went…

Pizza and tiramisu in a rustic setting at Red Tomato Pizza
After living in the UK and having excellent Italian food there, and going to the US and gorging on Giordano’s deep dish pizza, I’ve developed a hankering to find good pizza and Italian food in the UAE. One night I had plans for an evening out, which got cancelled (curse you, O ditcher!), and I…
The One Where Food Bloggers Descended on Global Village
A Global Village trip just to eat through the different countries’ pavilions? HECK YEAH, SIGN ME UP NOW!!! The pomegranate juice Didi got from Tunisia. So I did. Sign up, that is. Note the bold, red font is there to express the excitement that coursed through me at the thought of a night of pure…
Mexican nights with Maria Bonita
“I know this awesome little Mexican place in Jumeirah,” my friend said. I was beyond exhausted after spending an entire day at ARTE and needed a place to chill out. She bundled me off to Maria Bonita. I’d seen this place before, but only when I’d popped in to the café next door (Central Perk,…
Finding a Turkish Delight in Dubai
After attending a music launch that made me cry, I was hungry. “Take me somewhere I’ve never been before,” I told my friend Shruti, who like The Doctor, whisked me off to lands unseen, food as yet not tasted and parking lots never traversed. Only she doesn’t have a blue TARDIS. Just an orange Focus….
An Italian night out with Vivaldi at Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers
Well I’ll say this for sure: Vivaldi has one heck of a brilliant view. The outdoor seating of this Italian restaurant (it actually used to serve French cuisine many, many years ago!) overlooks the Creek and diners are treated to the old-world charms of dhows slowly passing on dark, lapping waters with the glittering Burj…
Where to eat falafels in Dubai
I don’t know where I got the idea from, but I suddenly decided I wanted to go on a falafel trek. Ideas kept popping in my mind like the little chickpea balls deep frying away at a crackling rate, waiting to be devoured by me. I needed a wingman on this though. Brave food blogger…
It’s @BakeFestDxb Number 3
The very hungry @PreetSagar in front of a red velvet cake pop from Delphi’s Delights After my sugar rush at the last BakeFestDxb, I was fully anticipating the next installment. Last time, I unfortunately left early. But this time, I came prepared. I reached Wild Peeta just before noon, ready for the madness. My plan…
A Chocolate-gasm of epic proportions
I throw the gauntlet down: I am, without a doubt, the most passionate chocoholic food blogger in UAE. I love chocolate. It loves me (on the hips no less). Little did I know I was nearly going to drown in it. Really. During the Eid break, I decided to boldly go where I have not gone…
Hallowe’en in Dubai
My first Hallowe’en in the UK, I had these amazingly decorated cupcakes with a good friend of mine while we were exploring Fright Night, a city-wide event Sheffield would put on at Hallowe’en. I thought I’d never see such brilliantly done cupcakes before. And then…these: Hoo boy, did Yasmin (also known as Red Panda) blow…
