A grilling experience

-
With new places opening up in Dubai with almost such a frantic pace, it is hard for writers and reviewers to ever keep up.Have just visited the DXB Grill, a new intimate dining outlet at the Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai. Among a lot of the grilled items it also serves a mean beef steak and a myriad of seafood combinations. 


Guests are greeted with a welcome fruit drink and a host of teas and desserts. My favourite was the watermelon.  According to General Manager Simon Moore, with the growing competition in Dubai market, new restaurants have to carve a niche very quickly to catch the attention of the discerning diners. “What we are offering is a culinary theatre – the very best steak and seafood served with flair, but at a price point that is still accessible to the market,” he said.  “The DXB name is familiar to everyone in Dubai who travels through the airport, and the branding will play a key role in the success of the DXB Grill.”




Among forthcoming attractions at the DXB Grill are International guest chefs, a Canadian beef promotion, unlimited Royal feasts, cooking master classes with Chef Ashraf including lunch, an Emirati fish promotion and social table nights, offering solo diners a chance to eat, mingle and make new friends. The restaurant is open daily from 7 pm until midnight, and has a capacity of 60 guests plus a private dining room which can accommodate up to a dozen. 

Though I didn't win the lucky draw for a meal, at the media event that day. I can't wait to return to this amazing melting pot of cultures. Am definitely going back for more. One good thing is it's close to the airport and the metro station as well.










Chefs busy on opening night.

Location is everything.  Not every eatery can offer scenic views to its guests. Fish and Bread in the UAE, offers all this and much more. Situated at the heart of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, this modest eatery offers the most delectable South Indian, Italian and Arabic meals. Many visitors choose to catch the sunset, while others sit under the stars and dine here, amid the backdrop of fountains and greenery. The service is quick and friendly. Appetizers include salt and pepper crispy squid or golden calamari. For mains, the Chemmeen Manga curry is a must try. It is made with raw mango and prawns and is served in a clay pot and is bursting with flavour. It is paired with steamed white rice. Another particularly tempting dish is the beef parotha. Made in authentic South Indian flavours, it is a medley of rich flavours which bursts in your mouth. Instead of the usual chapatti, you may want to try the Tapioca bread or 'Kappa,' which can be paired with a vegetar

Film Director, Atul Manjrekar An interview by Abigail Mathias  He was one of the silliest guys in college. Walked around with a red bandana singing Kishore Kumar songs. At least that’s how I remember my friend, Atul Manjrekar. Cut to 20 years later. And now Atul is the director of a major Bollywood film, a musical drama, called  Fanney Khan . The film stars leading actors Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkumar Rao. Thankfully Atul is still the pun cracker I remember, except he is clearly in another league. Atul’s first feature film will release in a few days and I can’t help but beam with pride. The film has already crossed many millions in trailer views on YouTube. Fanney Khan is played by the ever-youthful Anil Kapoor, who’s struggling to fulfill the dreams of his daughter, Lata who wishes to be a singer. The film releases in India on August 3. It’s taken me three days to get 10 minutes to talk to the busy director. “Aren’t you excited that your first b
