Box park being a hype now and one of my current favorite spots in Dubai, I decided to go lunching with my friends at a restaurant there. I was not quite sure where to go due to the wide choices of restaurants and cafes. For some luck I suppose, I got a parking right in front of Markette and it was very calm and peaceful compared to the rush bizarre at Dubai Mall. The store was extremely clean with traditional parquet flooring which was spotless with some good ambient music. The menu was very simple and it had a variety of diverse dishes like Madras fish curry, Arabic Shish Taouk & even Hong Long Style Kway Teow.
We ordered the Shish Taouk with Hummus, Fattoush and rich Creamy Garlic paste or in other words the entire Arabic combo. We also had the Katalfi Phyllo which was basically prawns wrapped with a layer of kunafa and a marination of sweet and spicy mango salsa. The kunafa layer made it crispy and crunchy. We also wanted to try one of their rich dishes, and the staff recommended a new dish which the Spicy Wok Chicken with Steamed Jasmine Rice. The chicken was prepared in a Thai style gravy which was sweet and spicy at the same time and was topped with a some mint leaves. The aroma of the jasmine rice was very tantalising Asian dish aroma. For drinks we ordered Grandma Stella’s Fresh Strawberry Kiwi Drink which was very relaxing and had a very extraordinary blend of the two fruits as the mix of these two were in right proportion. A special mention to the staff, they were quite friendly and cooperative. After we placed our order, the staff served us a plate of complementary crispy baked slices of bread with a dip. Overall a very good restaurant which is placed at the right location which attracts diverse customer circle with a good price to quantity ratio |
