"In the next restaurant, I'm gonna do something I usually don't. I will only eat vegetables. Because our way leads to Avatara, located on Dubai Hills Estate. This is a One Michelin star Indian restaurant."

"Happy Noodles delivers a punchy, affordable Chinese street food experience right in the heart of Dubai. The reviewer was impressed by the value—large portions of chicken dumplings and slow-braised beef noodles for under 30 dirhams. The standout was the intense, numbing mala spice in the broth, which left a lasting impression. Despite the bustling, noisy setting and the challenge of eating without splashing, the flavors and authenticity made it a memorable stop on the cheap eats tour."

"Osaki translates to hidden gem and it is indeed. The interior is minimalistic and calming. Very zen. Just what you would expect from a traditional Japanese restaurant. It only has 9 seats, so make sure you book your seat before coming here."
