Eshak – City Walk Dubai: The ideal place for your Iftar & Suhoor

Eshak - City Walk Dubai: The ideal place for your Iftar & Suhoor
Eshak - City Walk Dubai: The ideal place for your Iftar & Suhoor I discovered a new restaurant in City Walk: Eshak Dubai, Middle-Eastern fusion cuisine with an Uzbek influence. It's a lovely place and you can decide to eat outdoor or indoor. The design is very accurate: I loved their comfy and old style armchairs and the cool paintings at the wall. During Ramadan, you can have your Iftar Set Menu' (starting at the sunset; price 125 aed/person) or Suhoor (starting at 9pm; price 80 aed/person). I had an amazing Iftar starting with a rich bowl of lentil soup, baba ghannoj and my favorite starter ever an amazing eggplant salad (best seller of the house). Then I tried chicken kutabs and, as cheese lover, I...
