We were invited for a media preview of the Iftar and here’s what we loved about it:

Generous selection of Middle Eastern and International dishes

Saying that the Ewaan Ramadan tent covers all varieties of food would be an understatement. Right from your favorite chicken biryani and lamb ouzi, to seafood and sushi station, salad bar, shawarma, grills, curries, and everything you could possibly think of, is on offer at the buffet. And the desserts are at a whole new level. With a never ending selection of sweet treats, your taste buds will thank you throughout the month.

Dates for every date

Don’t miss the towering pyramid of dates at the Ewaan Ramadan tent. Offering a variety of dates stuffed with different dry fruits, these will be perfect for breaking your fast.

Tanoura dance

As you enjoy your grub, you will be treated to an exciting performance by the Tanoura dancer who by the way, loves to interact with the diners through his dance form. Keep your cameras ready guys!

Ramadan drinks

You can never go wrong with the classic drinks in Ramadan. Including the likes of Laban, Tamer Hindi, Vimto and my all time favorite Qamar al din, these make the best options to hydrate yourself after the fast. Plus they go along great with all that food.

Traditional set up

There’s always something special about dining at Ramadan tents. The brilliance they bring in with their Middle Eastern atmosphere and (almost) Arabian nights vibe, makes the Iftar experience all the more special.

Villa Beirut is not just any other pretty place. Gorgeously designed inside a villa with pretty yellow walls, floral accents and a very country vibe, this is one spot you’ll want to keep clicking pictures at, so make sure your phones are fully charged. Read on to find out what we tried at Villa Beirut and what I recommend the most.

Cold Mezzeh

Their cold mezzeh selection included all the Lebanese favorites. Among these were:

– fattouch – with its crispy khubz pieces
– hummus chmandar – flaunting the deep pink hue with its beetroot content
– classic hummus – which was perfect with the warm bread
– beetroot salad – because nothing beets a healthy salad
– al raheb – much like baba ganoush, but with bell peppers, onions and tomatoes
– moutabal – creamy and fine
– tabouleh – with the classic vinaigrette and parsley taste

Hot Mezzeh

Not my usual ones, these hot mezzeh at Villa Beirut were quite a surprise for me:

– moudardra – featuring lentil and rice, this kind of reminded me of koshari, very wholesome
– burghul bil banadora – this one came with fresh tomatoes and was quite filling
– falafel – beautifully crispy, these were my favorite of the lot
– sawda djej – although I am not a big fan of chicken liver, my friend loved these garlicky pieces served with pomegranate sauce
– aliyet dalia – another one of my favorites, this dish had meat sausages cooked with onions, tomatoes and pine nuts

Manakish

From their bread selection, we opted for the zaatar manakish which was made hot and fresh. Friendly tip though: eat it while it’s still hot and you won’t know how you’ll end up finishing the whole thing in an instant.

Mixed Grills

Like at all other restaurants serving Lebanese fare, this part of the night was my favorite at Villa Beirut. For the mains, we were offered mixed grills which came with a mix of shish taouk, kafta and grilled meat cubes. While I am not a big fan of meat cubes, the kafta and taouk were my favorite. These two, combined with the garlic dip and fries made for a filling meal.

Dessert

If you love cotton candy and ice cream, this dessert is just perfect. Hidden beneath a cloud of cotton candy, the sweet vanilla ice cream was a refreshing surprise, and unexpectedly light. It was the perfect way to end our suhoor.

The post Iftar – Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights appeared first on Rashida Blogs.

While we were waiting to break our fast, we were served a refreshing concoction of Almond Lassi. Perfect combination of nutrition and hydration, this chilled drink makes a good choice to cool down an empty stomach. Loved how they have covered the glasses in banana leaves to give it a little rustic touch.

Iftari Amuse Bouche

I have loved the welcome Zaatar bread at Tresind ever since I first dined at the restaurant. Although the bread has gone through generations, all the way from pav to foccacia, this pre-starter has never lost its charm.

We started with a lovely Iftari Amuse Bouche that was set up on every table so those who are fasting can instantly break their fast without any wait.
Accompanying the Zaatar foccacia was hummus which had a unique gritty texture. This, in my opinion, made it even more perfect with the foccacia.
The date candies stuffed with popping sugar added a dense bite while balancing it with the sweet crunchy feel. These were quite similar to what Tresind had last year in their Ramadan Amuse Bouche, but the dates this time around were slimmer and came wrapped in a transparent rice paper giving them the look and feel of a candy.

The olives and sweet peppers stuffed with cheese were great for an instant creamy rush while we waited for the next surprise.

Dragon fruit chaat

Along with the dates, foccacia and hummus, the Iftari Amuse Bouche also featured this refreshing contrasting salad platter of sorts.

The Dragon fruit chaat plated beautifully within the half of a Dragon fruit cake with mini watermelon, grape and Dragon fruit scoops – all topped with a spicy tangy tamarind and chaat masala mix.

On the other hand, the Caesar salad canapé started with a large chunk of romaine lettuce as the base, topped with spicy pesto and creamy Caesar dressing.
I would have loved to repeat these, since they were honestly so good, but I also knew there’s a lot more coming our way, so we resisted the temptation and decided to move on with kebabs.

Kebab Platter

Over the last few years, Dubai has seen an influx of restaurants that have turned Indian cuisine into an art. While every restaurant has its own unique flavor that adds a feather to Dubai’s dining hat, Tresind is one of the few that risked by venturing out into the unknown with the then unheard of molecular gastronomy.
These kebabs, while very simple in nature, pack a punch in terms of presentation and taste.

The Iftar set menu offers a choice between one of these four meaty kebabs, but since we were there for a tasting, we ended up trying all.

The first one is a luscious and cooked to the bone tandoori lamb chop, topped with rosemary reduction and plated ever so beautifully over an arty green chutney.

Followed by that is a crunchy portion of tandoori prawns, delicately placed over an English muffin and served alongside hollandaise foam.

Chicken seekh kebabs come in next over a smoked platter, the mince grilled to a smooth consistency that simply melts in every bite.

Skewered Wagyu Boti kebabs, served smoked in a pot with a piece of burnt charcoal, offer a tender closure to the appetizers platter.

Tangy onions and a spicy mint chutney make the perfect accompaniment for these last two.

I honestly can’t pick a favorite, because each one of them was perfect. But if I really had to choose one, the prawns and seekh kebabs would land at a tie on the first spot.

Palate Cleanser

An apricot sorbet came in next to break our appetizers and mains.

Lava Lamp

The Lava Lamp has always been of the classics at Tresind. Scroll down all the way to my last year’s Iftar tasting at Tresind and you will find this in there.

So much is my love for this creative mocktail, that I happened to receive the exact same flavor I tried last year, and trust me, I wasn’t complaining one bit.
Why, because it was a mix of my favorites – passion fruit and mango flavors.

This interesting drink starts off with dry ice, followed by a blend of passion fruit and mango juice. Then comes passion fruit seeds, berries and lots of theatrical appeal. It’s simply amazing to watch the dry ice smoke add enough bubble effect to make those berries appear like they are bouncing within the lamp.

And the flavor, well, let’s just say if I could drink only one drink for the rest of my life, this would be it. Perfectly chilled, perfectly presented and perfectly refreshing.
Swipe left to watch the video of the making of this drink and for more pictures.

Curries

After kebabs, it was time for curries in this Mughlai extravaganza at Tresind. While we opted for the non-vegetarian menu, they have one specifically for vegetarians as well, so don’t cut it off your list yet. This meaty menu however, offers a choice between Rajasthani Laal Mass, Butter Chicken and Kerala Fish Moilee.

Laal Mass, the most authentic type, featured extremely tender meat that made it a gravy delight.

Butter chicken, in all its classic glory, came with tender chicken pieces, finished with a perfected gravy.

Kerala Fish Moilee, although not my first choice in terms of meat, had the fish done so beautifully, I instantly fell in love. The live was slightly biased though, towards the coconut based broth dotted with dried coconut pieces, and steamed vegetables including broccoli, zucchini, beans, carrots and more.

All these were accompanied with freshly baked, warm and soft lachcha parathas.

Even though this would come as a surprise, I highly recommend the fish Moilee. The fish melts in your mouth just like cotton, and is spiced really well.

Biryani

This one here was really special. You know how Biryanis have always been really special to me right, so we opted for not one, but two Biryanis from Tresind’s Iftar menu. Well, they had three options on offer, but three would be an overkill. Moreover, we were so stuffed with all the kebabs and curries, even two seemed like a Herculean task, but thanks to take-away, all that leftover Biryani came back safe with me.

We went ahead with the boneless Chicken Biryani (obviously), and the Shrimp Biryani (again, duh!), leaving the Lamb variety for a later occasion. Cooked in a heavy pot, these biryanis were presented in a unique style with the hot and spicy meat marinade gravy spread over the fragrant Basmati rice and garnished with fresh coriander leaves.

Served alongside the classic burhani boondi raita, these cooked to perfection. Moreover, they instantly made their way to a really high spot in my Biryani Love List.
Even if I would have managed to finish them, it would have been quite a task to relish each and every grain. So yes, as I mentioned in the start, I packed these and brought them back home to savour them for my Iftar the next evening. And they stayed just fine, the tender chicken and shrimp pieces, the spicy masala, the aromatic rice, and… well you get the idea.

Secret: there was one more reason I didn’t want to stuff myself with the Biryanis. Because of what was coming up next.

Mithai Thali

The grand surprise at Tresind’s Iftar menu was this Mithai Thali.

Let’s do a quick round up of everything this dessert platter holds.
* Gulab Jamun
* Baklava
* Chocolate coated Jalebi
* Tresind’s famous Daulat ki chaat
* Ras Malai placed on a Shahi Tukda
* Boondi Laddoo with Shrikhand
* Ghevar
* Nitrogen Kulfi

So many of them! This was a true representation of everything Tresind is – extensive variety, artistic appeal and delightful flavors.
Which is your favorite dessert from these?

Paan Candy Floss

The end was in the classic Tresind style with the paan flavored cotton candy. These fluffy clouds presented in a miniature van have been my favorite ever since my first visit to Tresind. And just to give you perspective, this one was my 4th.

Start by taking a look at the palatial interiors of this restaurant and read on for a detailed review of their Iftar offerings.

Probiotic Drink Cooler

This is how we broke our fast at Jodhpur last evening.

This lovely probiotic drink is made entirely out of veggies. The combination of beetroot and coriander makes it really light and healthy on a fasting stomach. Plus it cools down your system, preparing you for a delicious feast ahead.

Textures of Dates

There can’t be an iftar without dates and these fusion dates are just perfect. The Textures of Dates at Jodhpur feature pitted dates in the center topped with gold leaf and stuffed with a mixture of rice crisps and dark chocolate.

The little date pops come with the same mix, only these are coated with coconut milk powder and French Feuilletine for a little fusion.

Macaroon Chat

Just look at these stunning Macaroon Chat pieces from Jodhpur Royal Dining. If these don’t tempt you enough to head over to the restaurant right away, I don’t know know what will!

In my very honest opinion, these little gems have created a very strong personality for themselves in the Dubai dining scene. They are masterpieces that capture the very essence of creativity and experimentation. My only complaint is that Jodhpur doesn’t sell these in take away packs so we can enjoy them at home
Are you listening Chef Pradeep Khullar?!

Kidney Bean Hummus

There’s no way you’ll guess what this is!

Deceiving you into believing it’s a dessert, this sneaky starter is actually a creamy kidney bean chickpea hummus sphere dressed up like a Mandarin doppleganger. It is coated with orange juice jelly for a Mandarin skin. Served with a crisp toasted baguette, it ticks all the boxes by fulfilling the need of hummus at Iftar while also staying true to its Indian-ness with the use of kidney beans.

I’d like it more spicy, with an extra baguette, and maybe a little drizzle of citrus oil to go with the whole look!

Mango & Passion Fruit Cooler

A little sweet, a little spicy, goes a long way. This mango and passion fruit cooler at Jodhpur Royal Dining came with all my favorites.

The creamy fruity blend was enhanced with lots of chillies giving it a spicy kick. I would recommend having this chilled with lots of ice for the perfect taste.

Beef Koftas

Moving on to more meaty appetizers, we dug into these Beef Koftas.

Made from pulled beef, these koftas get their fusion with the kataifi pastry coating. They are flash fried until crunchy from outside and cotton like from within, and served over and topped with a unique strawberry chilli chutney. This chutney works perfectly in tandem to balance the sweet and spicy flavors and complement the meat. Quite filling this one, the chutney really adds a creative twist.

Lamb Haleem

This one has been my favorite ever since I tried it at the Jodhpur station during the cocktail reception at Roda Al Murooj.

The Lamb Haleem that makes one of the best choices for Iftar traditionally, carries on its legacy at Jodhpur with a revamped look. Made with seasoned boneless mutton that’s cooked for 24 hours along with spices and herbs, this deliciously smooth Haleem is topped with crispy onions, crunchy potato sticks and coriander roots and served in a mini pan. A final squeeze of lemon juice gives it the perfect finish. That’s the thing about dishes at Jodhpur. First they wow you with their presentation and then with the taste and later with the craving to have them again and again and again.

Koliwada Prawns

To an NRI Mumbaikar like myself, Koliwada is synonymous to a crowded fishermen village that smells of sea, seafood and everything I would not willingly walk into. But these Koliwada Prawns at Jodhpur Royal Dining are a complete contrast.

These tender morsels of tempura fried jumbo prawns are tossed in an onion, chili and curry leaf spice mix. This adds that authentic Koliwada flavor touch. Every bite has a lovely crunch to it which draws you towards the next, and then the next. These prawns are served alongside a swatch of beetroot wasabi dip. Plus, they are garnished with dehydrated milk foam crisp which took me back to the childhood taste of milk powder.

Thanks for all these wonders Chef Pradeep Khullar!

Butter Chicken

As we moved from course to course, we landed on the deconstructed Butter Chicken. While my last stint at Jodhpur (almost a year back) had me swooning over their Chesnut & Chicken kulcha, this one was quite similar, yet quite different.

Where your regular butter chicken comes with pieces of the meat cooked in rich buttery gravy, this one had a shredded chicken tikka meatball, stuffed with butter inside and coated with crumbs on the outside. The flash fried crunchy sphere is presented dry with a slim naan on the side. And on serving, it enjoys a lovely dressing of makhani sauce.

The creaminess in the gravy is to die for. And it goes perfectly well with yet another Jodhpur classic – Chur Chur kulcha and Faux Dal Makhani.

If you are a self acclaimed butter chicken aficionado, then this one’s for you.

Ghee Roast Mutton Boti

What was the first thing I noticed in this dish? The coconut of course!

While Chef Pradeep Khullar kept explaining what this creation was, all I could think of was biting into those dry coconut pieces. And after all, it’s this very fruit that adds so much texture and flavor to the Ghee Roast Mutton Boti.

Cooked in a coconut based gravy along with onions, tomatoes and spices, this dish features boneless meat of lamb leg. It’s inclined more towards the Western coastal regions of India. I knew this instantly, thanks to the Goan flavors which were a big hit with my Goan plus one.

The Dosai crisp dressed up as a cone made the perfect accompaniment while lending a southern touch to the dish.

Chicken Biryani

You should never, I repeat, NEVER, say no to a good biryani. Especially when that recipe comes from a creative mastermind like Chef Pradeep Khullar. Being a hard core biryani lover with a quest to sample this one single dish at every possible restaurant I can, I had to step back for a minute and slap myself inside my head for not having tried this before at Jodhpur.

Well, it’s not fancy with smoke coming off it. Neither does it have half a dozen variants. And nor is it served in an earthen pot covered with dough. But yet it is more special than all these things combined. It tasted like home. It tasted like something my mom would make had she been around.

After my dinner, I ended up asking Chef Pradeep for a basic biryani recipe, because this was exactly what I was looking for. I couldn’t be more humbled on receiving an open invitation to his kitchen to learn how this favorite is made. This Biryani made such a wonderful place in my heart, I got more than half of it back home and ate it all by myself. No sharing at all!

And yes, it’s served with a classic Burhani cumin raita on the side.

Mango Two Ways

This dessert is many things and ordinary isn’t one of them. Crafted elegantly, the Mango two ways cheesecake and kulfi duo at Jodhpur is comes with the best of ingredients.

Alphonso mangoes combines with Philadelphia cream cheese for the cheesecake. In addition to a freshly chopped mango topping, it is garnished with an intricately designed sesame studded glucose glass. Made with full cream milk, vanilla essence, fresh mango pulp and a touch of cardamom, the Mango kulfi in the backdrop is a true classic. This dessert is a must for anyone who fancies everything mango. And the mangoes, well they are just impeccable.

Sticky Burfi

The final item on our multiple course Iftar menu at Jodhpur was this Sticky Burfi with banana barrel and cinnamon ice cream. This scrumptious block is essentially an Indianized version of sticky pudding, topped with a caramelized banana barrel.

But what really took the cake (pun intended) was that creamy scoop of cinnamon ice cream.

The strong cinnamon flavor perfectly matches the sticky sweet nature of the caramel. If it was up to me, I would combine the cinnamon ice cream from this dessert with the mango cheesecake.
