Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 12 Oct, 2019 We’ve walked past this Asian and Japanese chain on the lower ground floor many times before, and decided to make a stop for lunch on this particular day. Perhaps partly owing to it being the weekend, it was packed, and we…

The Dubai Diaries: Friday Brunch @ Radisson Blu Deira
Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 11 Oct, 2019 Radisson Blu has restructured their Friday Brunch spread a bit since our last visit, and it has quite a neat disposition. As before, most of the savoury items are arranged by cuisine type – Japanese, Middle Eastern, Indian, Thai / Far Eastern,…
The Dubai Diaries: Shogun @ Al Ghurair Centre
Located at: 3rd Floor, Tower #2, Al Ghurair Centre, Al Rigga Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 10 Oct, 2019 Being hidden away on the third floor of one of Al Ghurair’s towers certainly hasn’t dampened the popularity of this place! We went on a weekend (Thursday night), and unless you have reserved ahead, there’s…
The Dubai Diaries: Motomachi @ Dubai Festival City
Located at: Crescent Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 20 Apr, 2019 Here’s a good, casual spot for a decent Japanese meal. It’s near the Waterfront of Dubai Festival City (DFC) and has outdoor seating if you prefer some alfresco dining (not during the summer, of course!). It was our second visit, and it…
EDO @ Colombo City Centre
Located at: 137 Sir James Pieris Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 30 Nov, 2018 Located at the far end of the second floor of the mall, this place might be easy to miss if you are unaware of it. Walking in through the restaurant entrance, I didn’t imagine it to be as spacious as…
The Dubai Diaries: Minato @ Radisson Blu
Located at: Baniyas Road, Deira, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 18 Nov, 2018 As Japanese as this place might be, it flies the Sri Lankan flag high – the head chef is from our little island nation, and we have met several chefs here over the years who have also hailed from the motherland. That…
Off the Hook
Located at: Park Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Oct, 2018 We made a lunch stop at Off the Hook since we were passing by. I was looking forward to having something Japanese off their menu. I had tried their Japanese pizza some time ago and remember being rather intrigued by the interesting…
Ginza on The Edge @ Water’s Edge
Located at: 316 Ethul Kotte Road, Battaramulla, Sri Lanka Visited on: 06 Mar, 2018 This was our lunch stop since we were in the area on the day. I had been eyeing this place for a while but hadn’t paid a visit – as yet. The place was quite quiet with a few sporadically occupied…
Sushi Bar Samurai – Negombo
Located at: Porutota Road, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Feb, 2018 Negombo’s restaurant is the older of the two Sushi Bar Samurai restaurants operating in the country. Located on the very touristy Porutota Road, the glass panels lining the restaurant give it an on-the-street feel while still maintaining a niche-like ambiance. Although it does have…
Zen @ Zylan Boutique Hotel
Located at: 115 Rosmead Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Dec, 2017 Let me begin by saying that Zylan Boutique Hotel, at which Zen is located, is beautiful. Elegant, romantic and serenely decorated. Being the Christmas season, it had been adorned further with some tasteful décor. It was on the verge of less-is-more,…
