Ravis Rocks!

Re: Ravis Rocks!
Since we're recommending cheap and cheerful then another is danials in the twin towers by the creek. Cheap as chips Iranian buffet with a fantastic view of the creek. Also has to be one of the most mixed crowds of any place in town.
They have a place in the mazira center as well that does the best Iranian bread fresh baked for each cover.

A place to avoid = Xiao Wei Yang. They do those Chinese hotpots but it's utterly vile with cheap, nasty meats and fishballs.[/QUOTE]
I have to disagree a little! Whilst not a hotpot fan my wife is, so we go there from time to time. I usually have mainly kebabs and things I think they call pies. This is basically a mixture somewhere between pastry and bread stuffed with lamb and either fried or hot plated. Sadly I cannot remember if there is an English menu for these!
By the way they have just opened a branch in Dubai Marina and it appears to be doing well with expats!

There's a Chinese place by the big flagpole in Satwa that has a variety of interesting and authentic dishes. The lamb bao are decent and prices are reasonable. Service can be a bit random and they are good at forgetting dishes and panicking in the kitchen.

Just checked out their website. It may be worth visiting at the weekend depending on how much they charge for the buffet and whether kids are half price. http://www.danialrestaurant.com/Default.aspx?lang=en

There's a decent Pakistani restaurant next to that Chinese also - Bar.B.Q. Tonight (which is a well known place in Karachi) - I have eaten the buffet there a few times which is very good although I think Ravis beats them (and is cheaper too).

Any branch of the Kharachi Dharbar (but esp one in Rashidiya and Karama) are great for Pakistani food.
Also Chicken Tikka Inn (Jumeirah Beach Rd near to Johnny Rockets / Satwa) do a great Chicken Kharahi and their mutton tikka is

Coincidentally I received an email from one of the group buying companies last night which includes one for a decent discount at Istanbul Flower in Healthcare City. Pay AED 70 to cover a bill of AED 160.

Re: Ravis Rocks!
Find of the week is Bait Al Bahar, right next door to DOSC in Jumeirah, three story building with three different concept restaurants on each floor. Stunning views from the roof deck. No booze licence, prices are brilliant, still on soft opening so bare with them for the next couple of weeks. Fish n Chips 50 dhs.
if you are in JLT check out Tantuni, very nice
