Almakan (Dubai)

After a long day of meetings today, my local partners brought me out for dinner!

We were at this place called the Souk Madinath near Jumeirah. The place is beautiful!

 

We did drinks at Starbucks prior to dinner and it was Starbucks with a view! 

Dinner was at a restaurant next door where they brought me for Arabic food! 

 


 


Al fresco coz the weather was just too good! Like a chilling 19-20 degrees?


We were first served some crackers...


 

And they even ordered shisha for me!



 


Lol! Don't know if I did it right but the grape taste was good!

The restaurant even provided Arabic cloaks if you are feeling cold....




the cloaks totally converted our outfits to be so apt with the restaurant theme!

They ordered a eggplant dip to share.... 


 


this was sooooo good! great dip! the egg plant is smashed till like humus and the pomengrante center added a crunch. so good!

Vine leaves wrapped rice...



rather interesting dish! its a bit sour, probably due to some vinegar seasoning. the rice in the middle is soft, i quite like it!

Arabic salad... 

 

it was quite a spread!

 


a warm soup for the cold weather...




lentil soup!

chicken with some wrap like thingy... 


 

and mutton kebab...




i typically don't take mutton but theirs is so good!

great place with a very lovely view!
