Biryani got dear in Dubai

Biryani Dubai

Its time you should learn how to cook Biryani at home.

As reported here, restaurants and cafeterias in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman have increased the price of biryani by between Dh2 and Dh4.

Owners have attributed the hike to an increase in meat and commodity prices.

Tea and biryani prices remain steady in the UAE for years together, as cafeterias are well aware that these are the basic foods for many expats here in the UAE.

Recession hits Dubai Eateries as Food and Beverage Restaurants are closing

Dubai F&B Restaurant

A tougher food and drinks market means more restaurant closures are to be expected in the UAE.

Recent closures of Dubai restaurants such as Rive Gauche at The Address Dubai Marina, Empire at The Monarch hotel and Tang at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi were signs of a more competitive climate.

More closures are expected as leases expire in five year old malls and new market entrants surface.

Having Lamb Chops

Amongst other things, Dubai is famous for its food. From Italian to Chinese, Continental, Indian, Pakistani, Mexican, Lebanese, Persian, Traditional Arabic and African outlets, numerous hotels, restaurants, cafes and eateries make food selection quite a task. In Dubai, eating out is not an issue but one may get confused in selection of the best outlet, in terms of price, taste and ambience.

I happened to visit Al Ghurair City and tried one of the eatries there. The Lamb Chops were nicely presented and were equally delicious.

Gork the salad too.
