During our visit we tried 3 of the 6 dishes which honestly left us wanting to try them all.

The first one was Morgh-e-torsh Kebab (AED 38) that featured chargrilled boneless chicken tikka marinated with a very unique mix of pomegranate juice and walnut paste. What I really loved in this dish were the little pieces of walnut that added a gritty texture to every bite.

Next, we had Balochi Rosh (AED 36). This dish is traditionally cooked with mutton and is simply eaten during occasions, especially farewells. This one at Sthan came with chicken tossed in a homemade gravy made with onions, green chilis, coriander and mint. This was perfect with the tandoori roti.

Our third dish was Gosht Kofte (AED 42) which was my favorite of the evening. Juicy mutton mince kebabs doused in a rich red chili and garam masala gravy made an ideal pair with lachcha paratha. The ginger and chili garnish on top was bliss but truly ot was the kofte (kebab) that stole my heart. Definitely going back for this.

We paired the Balochi dishes with a mint lemonade and Punjabi style namkeen lassi (salty) flavored with Himalayan pink salt and peppered with jeera (cumin seeds). Plus, being ardent tea lovers, we ended our meal with a hot cup of Punjabi karak served in a traditional kullhad.

I was at Headlines Cafe for the Zomato Gold Event trying out some of their delicious dishes and cocktails with fellow bloggers, and I enjoyed every single minute of my time spent there. Scroll down to find out more about the items I recommend from their menu.

Fully Loaded Nachos

Classic and simple, these loaded nachos at Headlines Cafe come loaded with tons of flavor. Crispy tortilla chips, loaded with cheese, beans, peppers, jalapenos and so much more, these nachos make the perfect choice for finger food, especially when coupled with sports and drinks.

Fish n’ Chips

Over the course of my blogger life, I have begun to prefer fish in very little quantities and only specific dishes like the Indian Fish Amritsari. I was a little worried I wont really like these fish n’ chips, but well, thankfully I was wrong. There is no fishy smell at all (which is what would otherwise put me off in the first place). And the meat is so tender, you can walk in to Headlines Cafe with no teeth and walk out with a tummy full of fish. Highly recommended!

Chicken Sliders

Absolutely cute, these mini burgers were the bomb. With a tandoori chicken tikka patty sandwiched between soft buns, these too make a great choice for bar snacks and finger food.

Mutton Rogan Josh

I hadn’t liked a rogan josh so much before I tried it at Headlines Cafe. The gravy is full of flavor, and the spices are just perfect. Although you can have it with roti or naan, I would suggest getting jeera rice as an accompaniment. They make a beautiful pair, almost made in heaven. And the quantity is good enough to keep you satiated but not too much to make you feel overly stuffed.

Cosmopolitan and Others

We were offered a few selected drinks from the menu, and needless to say I tried them all. My fav was Blue Summer with Extra Punch and Cosmopolitan. The Carribean Mojito was a lovely classic.

All in all, this is one place you definitely need to take yourself and your friends to, and you will love the experience.

Headlines Cafe offers Zomato Gold on 2+2 drinks. So if you’re a Gold member, you’re totally sorted. If you’re not a member yet, well, maybe it’s time to make that call then
