TimeOut Dubai Kids – August 2019

Family takeaways

26 August 2019 Time Out UAE Kids

chicken lettuce wraps are a good way to

kick things off – Àlled with punchy Áavours

and heaps of crisp iceberg to wrap it all up

with. Stir-fries, noodles and rice dishes are

all solid choices and this is a sure-Àre winner,

plus portions are massive so it’s an ideal

family feast.

O Various locations including Dubai: JBR, La Mer and

The Dubai Mall. Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Mall and Yas

Mall, http://www.pfchangs.com.

New Shanghai

There are plenty of tasty options on New

Shanghai’s menu with oodles of dim sum,

wontons, dumplings, buns and more. The

dumplings are perfectly cooked, with just

enough Áavoursome broth spilling out after

every satisfying bite (we recommend the

chicken xiao long bao). There’s also a kids’

menu, plus chocolate-Àlled dumplings as

a special treat.

INDIAN & PAKISTANI

Biryani Pot

There are few things more hearty and warming

than a steaming pot of traditional biryani, and

with a name like Biryani Pot, you’d hope this

spot serves up a top version of the rice dish.

And you’d be right. The dish is cooked by the

dum method and comes served in a branded

desserts such as plant-based

chocolate brownies.

O Delivery only in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi also

on Careem. http://www.bloomvegankitchen.com.

Brambles

This cute café has been a hit since landing

in Barsha Heights earlier in 2019. There are

loads of plant-based dishes, as well as options

for vegetarians and meat eaters. Top picks

vegan tacos and avocado pizza. There’s also

a kids’ menu with dishes including spaghetti

and a variety of sauces, chicken teriyaki,

grilled cheese sandwiches and peanut butter,

strawberry and banana toast, all at Dhs25.

Heights, Dubai (04 452 9529).

SWEET TREATS

Chili’s

An import from the US, Chili’s serves

up all the comfort food favourites that

you could ever possibly need. After

chomping our way through a huge fajita

plate with a side of corn, you’ll Ànd us

burrowing into the dessert menu. It’s

always a tough choice between the

chocolate chip paradise pie – with its

walnuts, coconut, vanilla ice cream and

hot fudge sauce – or the skillet chocolate

chip cookie, which comes out hot straight

from the oven in the pan, topped with vanilla

ice cream and hot fudge sauce. We tend

to order both to be safe.

Bombay Bungalow

Fancy something a little different to serve up

with your NetÁix? The menu at this quirky spot

at The Beach boasts a range of dishes, from

the standard (chicken tikka masala, lamb

rogan josh, samosas), to the far less familiar

(burrata butter chicken, anyone?). Options

on the kids’ menu are wide-ranging and are

designed to appeal to a variety of tastes, so

even if you’ve got a fussy one on your hands

this could be a chance to broaden their

palates. Dishes include golden fried prawns,

Malai chicken, Malai shrimp and a non-spicy

dhal. All are served with fries and salad.
