Homegrown Hits, Hidden Gems & Dubai's Best AED 10 Eats

from Afternoons with Helen Farmer · host Dubai Eye 103.8

Homegrown favourites under one roof in Mirdif, staycays, Dubai’s heaviest chicken sandwich – we’ve got more on the list! From the kitchens of some of India’s most celebrated hotels to 15 years helping turn Dishoom into a household name in the UK, Chef Naved Nasir has spent much of his career telling stories through Indian food.  Open kitchen, no delivery. What’s in a restaurant to have this confidence? We ask the husband-and-wife chefs of LahKee. Earlier this week a text came into the show asking for a little help. Best friends Ayesha and Yaseen have poured their savings, time and probably quite a lot of tastings into Buttrd, the sandwich business they launched from a cloud kitchen in Business Bay six months ago. The business is trying to survive. They were hoping for a shout-out, we’re giving them a platform.  What can AED 10 buy you in Dubai these days? Well, this summer, potentially a very good lunch or dinner.  Plus, we help you plan the perfect night in with the best movies and shows this weekend.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
