Nurai – Hidden Gem in Business Bay!

Nurai Cafe, located in the West Wharf tower in Business Bay have lots to offer which includes delicious food, great ambience and the perfect view!
The place has an outdoor as well as indoor seating area. With the FIFA World cup fever on, the indoor was quite full as they do live FIFA screenings as well! We decided to sit outdoors to enjoy the view as well as the food.

The place offers a HUGE menu so if you are not a lebanese food fan, its totally alright as they have alot of international options as well including italian, mexican, sandwiches, american burgers and much more! It was super confusing to choose what to have but the staff was super helpful with recommendations!

We tried out a few fresh mocktails and juices from their drinks section – the best being the PACIFIC PASSION! This one was a simple blend of pineapple juice, passion fruit syrup, mango syrup and fresh strawberries – a drink worth trying on your visit!

For salads & appetizers, we called for the Dragon Salad, Loaded Fiesta fries and the Nurai House Combo.
Dragon Salad: This is their signature salad which includes chicken strips, Nurai house sauce, bits of tortillas and much more! Even though i’m not a salad fan, this salad definitely did wonders!

Loaded Fiesta fries: Crispy fries topped with marinara sauce, melted cheese, jalapenos and oregano – it was as delicious as it sounds. The dish also included beef bacon as one of the toppings but we got it removed as we don’t consume beef.

Nurai House Combo – We opted for this particular combo as its an all in one dish! Its a combo which includes spring rolls, calamari rings, garlic bread, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, breaded shrimps and twister fries. This combo is served along with tartar and honey mustard sauce which went well along with the combo. My fav snacks from this combo were the mozzarella sticks, spring rolls, breaded shrimps and the twister fries! All of them were cooked to perfect! A MUST TRY platter which can be easily shared on a table of 4!

For our mains, we opted for the Chicken Taoouk Platter, Chicken Mozzarella Festival Burger & Pinky Pasta.

Chicken Taoouk Platter: This platter included 2 chicken skewers served along with your favorite side (we opted for the grilled potatoes. Pickles and Garlic Sauce were accompanied along with it. The skewers were very well cooked and marinated which went perfectly with the garlic sauce.

Chicken Mozzarella Festival burger: This burger is for all the CHEESE LOVERS! Stuffed with grilled chicken, breaded mozzarella, iceberg pickles, mushrooms and garlic mayo sauce – this burger did wonders! It was a huge one and ofc too heavy due to grilled chicken and breaded mozzarella. However, one of the best burgers i had! It came along with a side as well – in this case we opted for mashed potato which was just yum!

Pinky Pasta: A simple pasta cooked in pink sauce along with mushrooms and chicken breast. This was one of the sauciest pastas i’ve had! Absolutely loved this one! The pasta was well cooked too. The quantity was good enough for 2 people. This pasta was served along with parmesan shavings on the side which just completed the pasta! ❤

Coming to the best part of the meal i.e. the DESSERTS! We tried the Chocolate Fondant and Nurai Iced Brownies. The Chocolate Fondant was served hot along with a scoop of vanilla icecream. The fondant was well prepared – it was not distorting or melting which was the best part! A must try dessert when you visit this place!
Since the lotus cheesecake was not available, we tried the nurai iced brownies. This was a simple dessert which was served on a plate filled with a lump of vanilla icecream topped with brownies and caramel sauce.

We started off with trying the Hummus Fatche Salad which turned out to an empty bowl in just a few minutes!A simple healthy salad that includes boiled chickpeas and chicken strips mixed with yogurt sauce & topped with mini salad. Even though, i’m not a salad person, this one really turned out to be a HERO!

From the gourmet sandwiches, we tried the grilled chicken and smoked salmon bagel. The grilled chicken sandwich was one of my fav from their menu! It is served along with your choice of side – we opted for the sweet potato fries which went really went along with the sandwich. The chicken stuffed in hte sandwich was well marinated and grilled. The melted mozzarella, pickles and aioli sauce just enhanced the taste of this beauty!

The Smoked Salmon Bagel, as the name suggests, was a bagel stuffed with cream cheese, olives, baby rocca and layers of smoked salmon. This one was one of the healthiest options from their menu! Highly recommended to those health freaks! 😛

Moving on, we tried the Chicken Mushroom Shell Pasta from their Pasta section. This pasta is one of the best i’ve had in Dubai! Being a die hard fan of chicken and mushrooms, i loved this particular dish! Delicious and saucy, this pasta was made of Kad Ché special sauce along with a blend of smoked bell peppers. Accompanied with it, was a bowl of shaved parmesan cheese ❤
A MUST TRY FOR ALL THE PASTA LOVERS!

Coming to the best part – DESSERTS, we tried out their Latte Cake which seemed to be a unique option. A spongy cake coated with whipped cream, topped with fresh berries and mint accompanied with latte sauce.

Tub Of Butter – Fine Foods

Tub of Butter, located on the Sheikh Zayed Road is one of the gorgeous food spots i’ve been to in Dubai! With comfortable and luxurious couched to the perfect lighting environment, this place can be one of the perfect place to be at for a romantic dinner!
The place also offers an area where movies are played as well as a kids play area to keep your tots entertained!

We were here for dinner on a weekday – parking will not be an issue as there are ample parking spaces right outside the restaurant. We chose to be seated in the movies area where Jurassic World was being played 😛

Started off with some drinks – raspberry milkshake and the Mixed Berry Mojito.
The Raspberry Milkshake was very well done with the perfect raspberry taste; topped with whipped cream!
The mojito was a combination of raspberry, blackberry, blueberry along with lime and mint leaves – a must try for all the berry lovers!

By the time we wait for the food, we were served with the complimentary bread and butter. This one was really catchy as the butter was actually served in a tub shaped dish! The bread was really soft and served hot. It was a perfect start to the meal!

For the appetizers, we tried the Wild Mushroom flatbread. This one had a buttery garlic base & topped with loads of wild mushrooms. The bread had just the right amount of crisp. The quantity of this can be improved. Also, its worth trying for all the mushroom lovers out there!

For Mains, we tried out the Wild Mushroom Risotto and Pulled Roasted Chicken (Whole).
The Wild Mushroom Risotto was one of the highlights of the entire meal! It was an amazing dish on the basis of quantity as well as the quality. Topped with just the right amount of mushrooms, this one was delectable!

The chicken was from the rotisserie section – it was served along with 3 dips i.e. Pesto Sauce, Mint Sour Cream and Mushroom Sauce. This could be easily shared among 3-4 people. The best part of this dish was that the chicken was too soft! It wasn’t chewy at all which made it taste even better!

We ended the meal with a chocolate fondant from their desserts section. This one is cooked fresh when an order comes so it took a while to be prepared. But the wait is totally WORTH IT! The fondant came along with a scoop of vanilla icecream with berries on the side. It was topped with chocolate powder and filled with melting dark chocolate from within! I’M GOING HERE BACK ESPECIALLY FOR THIS ONE!

Known for its desserts and specialty coffee, the place is worth trying to spend some good time with your loved one along with some good food!
As the early expression goes; landing in a tub of butter is a translation of someone falling into good fortune. This expression is the foundation to the design of this space; a magical marketplace that will bring patrons into their ‘Tub of Butter’.
