Any ideas, am taking out some clients for a spot of dinner. Nothing fancy, guys just fancy a few beers and a bit of grub and i want to keep an eye on price.

We have taken them to the following in the past:

Spice Island.
benihana at the Rotana.
Flavors on 2 at the Rotana.

Just want to try somewhere different..For a Wedneday night.


Like i say, fixed price including food and drink.

cheers

I hear blue elephant in meridien village is good, thai place

The Blue Elephants anywhere are pretty damn good. While we were expat in Libya we'd take the taxi across to Malta every 7-8 weeks to have a lost weekend and invariably have a good nosh at the BE at the Hilton in St Julien.

If you fancy a smaller setting, try the Marina Byblos by the yacht club. The buffet is 99aed (dec11) with unlimited juices, soft drinks and tea/coffee but it's also licensed. The food was really quite nice - not a huge range, but it was all fresh and delicious - and there's a shisha terrace just opened there too.

Is that a friday or every evening?..its for oilfield trash, we don't do juices and coffee...if they do an all in booze package then maybe..

Cheers, then I can go and watch my pal play in the band next door

That's one of the places that I'd heard about and was considering...cheers, it gets a pretty good review in TimeOut.

Isn't Blue Elephant in the Al Bustan Rotana next door? Or am I getting confused with somewhere else?

commander

yes, and it doesnt do a buffet on a Wednesday so that's out!!

Try the Le Meridien Village . They do an outside BBQ buffet everynight of the week with a different theme .

Great value between 180 - 250 i think , there's a band as well , and it's outdoors so it's an ideal time of the year.

They may call it the Le Meridien Terrace nowadays but it's pretty good. Also it's next to Jules Bar if you fancy a Chinese take-out afterwards.

co durham boy

That's the one , great value for the money . There's two drinks packages and a great choice of food as well . I was there on a Thursday night and it was great .

Cheers, I booked flavours, (safe and boring) but will defo use this for the next time.

I quite like that place. The last I remember, they did a nice Seafood buffet on Wed, gotta try the lemon and basil crab cakes.

Remind your mates that shorts are banned there....... there are always a lot of nice ladies with very short skirts though........

Cheers, we will be wearing coveralls and full PPE.
