Love Lake - Al Qudra
2023 Jul 01
Love Lake is an incredible oasis in the middle of the desert. Visiting with family and friends was a delightful experience. The park's transformation is truly astonishing.

While it's a great place to relax, finding parking and a camping spot can be challenging. Arriving early is recommended to secure a desirable location. It's crucial to be cautious while driving to avoid getting stuck in the soft mud.

Unfortunately, there are no bus or metro services available to reach the lake. It's advisable to plan a visit during pleasant weather to fully enjoy the surroundings.
Envy
2022 Aug 07
Attended the popular #JealousBrunch at Envy (a signature restaurant) located within Th8 Palm - Palm Jumeirah, and hands down it is one of the best that i have been to.

The view is spectacular, and overlooks the beach and skyscrapers in the distance . From the elevated balcony you can see the 'Fluid Beach Club' located adjacent to the restaurant, where you are allowed free access

Day/Time: Every Saturday from 1 pm to 2 pm
Cost for 2: AED 800

The extensive menu is based around Middle Eastern and International cuisines which suit every palate. Relish free flowing food and house beverages & spirits. You will find everything from salads, cheese, cold cuts, bread, raw seafood, sushi, starters, and an ENTIRE section dedicated to DESSERTS!!!

A selection of especially curated main course options can also be ordered more than once. Contactless menu can be viewed through the bar code available at the table. Our selection of mains comprised of roasted corn-fed baby chicken, Mediterranean lamb chops, wild mushroom and truffle risotto, and pan seared Scottish salmon. Each dish was better than the other, and we devoured them all.

The ambiance is lively, and live music played by the in-house DJ and saxophonist elevates your mood.

Indoor/outdoor seating is available. During pleasant weather, you will surely want to be seated outside to enjoy the cool breeze.

Apart from the afore-mentioned attractions, is the state-of-the-art signature disco pizza oven!

We found the staff to be friendly, efficient and attentive. The elaborate menu offered against the price paid is totally worth it!

I would recommend attending this Saturday brunch for yourself and relate to my experience
Pita Greek
2022 Aug 01
Enjoy premium Greek street food at @eatpitagreek located at downtown kitchens within @thedubaimall extension (adjacent CZB Burak) across the gorgeous Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

Pita Greek serves a variety of pitas, street bites, Greek sweets and beverages. Selected vegetarian options are also available. The restaurant has spacious indoor/outdoor seating, and ample parking space available within 'fountain views' parking.

In order to maintain the authentic flavors, some ingredients such as cheese and oil are imported from Greece. Pita bread is handmade using traditional techniques.

If you're in the mood to have your food ordered in, delivery is available on all leading food apps.

Our ordered comprised as follows:

Street bites: We started off with Hercules fries tossed in roasted red pepper, garlic, oregano, lemon and parsley with chunks of feta that gave the flavors a kick. Pita dips were perfectly crispy, and served with 3 dips i.e. Nikos garlic sauce, yoghurt tazatziki (my favorite) and feta red pepper dip. Though i am not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, but wings n kotopoulo blew my mind!!! If i'm ever craving BBQ flavored wings, i know exactly where to get them from. The wings were served with tzatziki (a yogurt dip)

Pitas: Honestly, all the pitas that we tried were fresh and flavorful. Depending on the protein that you love, you could order as per your preference, or even vegetarian one. Our choices were Bifteki (skewered beef with Philadephia cream, black pepper, sauteed onion and tomato), Chicken Momma Pita (chicken chunks, souvlaki chicken, momma sauce, and veggies), Big Boy Pita Langoustine (lemon garlic shrimp, spicy big boy sauce and tomato), and Kebab Pita (lamb kebabs, niko's garlic sauce, and veggies). Each pita had a distinct taste, and we loved them all!!!

Greek sweets: You will love their Greek yoghurt sundae (the humungous bowl can serve around 3 people). Loved the combination of yogurt with caramelized banana, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. If you're a fan of sweet bread, try out sweet pita bread which is loaded with nutella, chocolate and warm marshmallows

Drinks comprised of their famous cherry smoothie, and frapogalo (creamy iced coffee). Both beverages are yoghurt based, refreshing, and delicious!!!

Pita Greek is my new favorite Greek restaurant, and recommended to lovers of this cuisine
Would you believe me if told you that you can get a chicken/meat skewer for only AED3??? As much as it is not plausible, it is true...

Located in Karama, an area known as the epicenter for affordable restaurants. The Grills is a hidden gem, offering pocket-friendly and delicious meals.

With ample of parking space available, you can even order and enjoy your meal in the comfort of your car.

Though i am thankful for being invited for a review and undoubtedly the food is delicious, and affordable, the restaurant needs to take note on their hygiene and air conditioning. Due to the hot weather and poor cooling, i was unable to enjoy my meal completely.
