Located at: Al Muraqqabat Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 28 Oct, 2017 This is the place I think of when I’m not in Dubai and crave shawarma. One chicken shawarma and two falafels with some tahini sauce make for quite a happy meal for me. Al Shami is no fancy restaurant, but neat and spacious…

The Dubai Diaries: Shabestan @ Radisson Blu
Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 26 Oct, 2017 Although I’ve been to Radisson Blu on a countless number of occasions, this was my first visit to Shabestan. Persian/Iranian cuisine isn’t something we have frequently either. So I wasn’t very sure what to expect that evening. But I can safely say that…
The Dubai Diaries: Wafi Gourmet @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Centre Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 24 Oct, 2017 My first encounter with Wafi Gourmet happened several years back while they had a branch at Dubai Festival City (DFC). And I immediately fell for their pita bread and hommos (quite often spelled hummus). Authentic Lebanese food is what they promised…
The Dubai Diaries: Tomo @ Raffles Dubai
Located at: Wafi City, Umm Hurair, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 23 Oct, 2017 Tomo is what one would refer to as an authentic Japanese restaurant, with its Japanese kitchen brigade, and yet another place that is worthy of mention for its consistency. Up-end but with a relaxed atmosphere, the restaurant is perched on the…
Ranthaliya Rest House
Located at: 11 South Lake Road, Kurunegala, Sri Lanka Visited on: 22 Jun, 2017 This was a lunch stop we made while on a visit to Kurunegala, prior to The Eat Log days. Hence details are comparatively minimal and I have just a single, candid (and poorly focused) picture of the spread. But the food…
Chutneys @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 01)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 03 Oct, 2017 For some odd and unknown reason, I woke up a couple of mornings ago with the thought of dining at Chutneys. So naturally, perhaps, that is the first place that came to mind when we were contemplating where to have lunch….
The Lagoon @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 01)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 25 Sep, 2017 The Lagoon was bustling on a Monday night – which says something about the place. And which you can understand once you’ve tasted their food and experienced their service. This is a seafood restaurant with a ‘fish market’ concept where you go…
VOC Café @ Dutch Burgher Union
Located at: 114 Reid Avenue, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 24 Sep, 2017 As I have mentioned in a previous post, I might have a bit of a soft spot for VOC Café’s Chicken Lumprais (LKR 545). Leave aside the fact that the staff can sometimes be a bit unreliable and lost with orders. There’s something…
The Commons
Located at: 39A Flower Road, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 23 Sep, 2017 The Commons has always been a great hang-out spot, with its laid-back set-up and ambiance. With a comprehensive menu and central but quiet location, it’s also a popular stop for a quick bite or a long catch-up meal. However, they seem to…
Dolce Italia
Located at: 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21 Sep, 2017 This was our third visit to the recently relocated Dolce Italia and, I have to say, the place is growing on me. From the relaxed ambiance to the friendly management and the tempting selection of goodies on display, I predict this is going…
