OREGANO

Craving for good Italian food? Then, Oregano is the place to be! The restaurant has very polite and efficient staff and the ambiance of the restaurant is good. After ordering, you will be served with complimentary pieces of assorted breads along with butter and their signature sauce made of green herbs and olive oil. We ordered Fusilli Carbonara con Salssicce and Risotto con Salmone. Both were good, and the quantity was good too.

YOKO SIZZLERS

A friend recommended this restaurant when I asked her to tell me about a good place for steaks. It was weekend when we headed towards Yoko Sizzlers ... it took more than 20 mins to finally get a parking, not very near the restaurant though. After the wait for the parking, we had to wait for another half-an-hour to be seated. The manager was very courteous. After being seated we ordered Yoko Special Steak and Chicken Fried Rice. The quantity of the food served is quite good and so is the taste. The sizzling brownie is a must try! However, try to avoid going to the restaurant on the weekends because it is over-crowded, it is difficult to get parking and since the restaurant is mostly visited by families, the noise of the kids crying becomes extremely irritating.

PATIALA HOUSE

Came to know about Patiala House through Zomato and we headed towards the restaurant for dinner. It was a bit difficult to find the location since it is located inside a lane. Luckily, we got the parking nearby and landed inside the restaurant. Since it was our first time, we opted for the All-in-one meal so we could try different things. Meal 1 has chicken handi, tikka and biryani. All of it was amazing! Along with the food, we were also served green raita, achaar and sliced onion. For drinks, we ordered Nimbu Pani, which was also good and refreshing! In the end, we were served Gulab Jamun, which just melted in our mouth ... loved it! 

The prices are extremely reasonable and you can enjoy an Indian movie along with the meal!

IL FORNO

If you are craving for Italian food, then Il Forno is the place you should head towards! The restaurant has many branches but all of them are located in Abu Dhabi and this is the reason why I have to go all the way from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to enjoy the scrumptious food served by them. The restaurant serves various kinds of Italian food that includes pastas, pizzas and Risottos. Until now I have tried Lasagna di Pollo, Ravioli Salmon and Risotto di Pollo and all of them are amazing!

LAL QILA

Every Ramadan when Lal Qila has their special promotional offer giving 35% discount on buffet dinner, I make sure I visit the restaurant at least thrice in the month. The buffet dinner is served from 9:30 pm and because of its popularity, the restaurant is always full of people especially on weekends. Although one needs to wait for a few minutes before being seated inside the restaurant, the wait is worth the scrumptious food Lal Qila offers. The buffet includes an array of Pakistani, Arabic and Chinese food. The BBQ and all the Shahi items especially are extremely mouthwatering and delicious. Other specialities include the Cheese Naan and Shahi Kulfi! The restaurant offers a wide variety of food items and as it says, "Fit for the kings," it truly is!

Nobu - Atlantis

Planning for a rocking weekend, we thought of going to Atlantis for an exciting getaway. This is when we opted to dine at Nobu, a Japanese restaurant in Atlantis, The Palm. We had made our reservation earlier and on reaching the restaurant, we were greeted by a polite staff member and we had to wait for a few minutes before we finally got seated inside the dining area.

The ambiance was very nice with dim lights which made the entire setting extremely romantic. 

We ordered Salmon tarter Caviar, Spicy seafood soup, Shrimp tempura, Rock shrimp tempura, Shrimp and lobster salad with spicy lemon dressing, Roasted duck breast with Wasabi salsa along with Orange and pineapple juice. The food was really good especially rock shrimp tempura, which was amazing! After we were done with the meal, we ordered Nobu Cheesecake and Apple Tart. Loved both!!! In the end, we ordered coffee and were given complimentary boxes of chocolates from Bateel. The young lady who served us was extremely polite and lively and did a great job! 

Overall, our dining experience at Nobu was amazing!

Kitchen 6 - JW Marriott Marquis

Located in the heart of Sheikh Zayed Road, Kitchen 6 can be found inside the JW Marriot Marquis, famously known as the tallest hotel in the world! I went there for the Easter lunch. Entering Kitchen 6 gives one a luxurious feel as the interior has been done intricately and you are politely greeted and guided towards the reserved table.

Kitchen 6 serves one of the biggest international buffet in town and covers Arabic, Indian, Japanese, Lebanese, Chinese and other cuisines on different counters. I started off with the delicious Indian food before moving on towards other options and had enough but made sure to leave some space for my most desired part of a meal. The desserts counter covered various interesting ice creams, cakes and Indian mouthwatering desserts. 

The meal completely mesmerized me and I would recommend you all to pay a visit too!
