    I had read about avatara restaurant and wanted to celebrate my birthday there. It was the best experience, the food was amazing, incredible detailing and pairing of flavors. The 12 course dinner had surprising layers of familiar Indian ingredients and spices unusually combined with non traditional vegetables and fruits. It was feast for the eye, and soul. Chef Omar was kind to meet us in the end. If you are in Dubai and would like to indulge in experience the best vegetarian restaurant and food, avatara is the best, it’s divine.

    Lovely relaxed and bustling gastropub in the residential Lakes area, it made us feel as if we were not in Dubai. Dishes are classic British pub food and there’s plenty of activity near the bar area with live sports, and a quieter terrace which is perfect for the cooler months.
