The chefs here outshine in ingeniously merging the oldstyle cooking techniques to accomplish the flawless concord of genuine Asian flavour’s, some of which comprise precisely handmade dim sums and so much more. Sushi is a highlight but there’s more to it than just that. The steamed fish is particularly amazing and highlights the Thai way of using spices, enough but not too much.

Courtyard, Manzil Downtown Dubai
Experience here reflects the spirit of the new traveller, who expects global standards of hospitality; in an ambience that is as sophisticated as it is luxuriously decadent, with the essence of a nightclub, backed by excellent food and service at accessible prices.This is a rich slice of Arabic elements, a spacious sprawl set in like a traditional courtyard.

The restaurant offers an option to either dine in decadence with the familiar Indian delicacies or savour Arabic flavours of simpler time. The food is almost bewilderingly exotic, try the Shish kebab twanging with the gorgeous flavour of roasted tomato.
