There are new additions to Downtown Dubai’s culinary scene this month and the good news is that we’re sharing them right in time for the weekend.
Hakoora
This new spot located on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard not only offers views of Burj Khalifa but also a menu featuring international fusion cuisine, so you’ll have plenty of choices. The selection includes Middle Eastern favourites such as Hummus, Falafel, Fatoush and Kebabs alongside dishes such as Seafood Linguine, Pan Seared Salmon and Miso Glazed Confit Duck Leg. No meal is complete without something sweet so you can order the Signature Cheesecake or try the Cherry and Apple Pie.
Looking to puff the night away on a shisha, Hakoora does everything from a classic grape mint to a cinnamon mint and even gum shisha.
Located in Yansoon 9, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. Open from 11am to 1am (Sunday to Wednesday) and 11am to 2am (Thursday to Saturday). For more information, call 050 393 4301.
