caesars restaurant in sidroh on the rak corniche is one of the consistently good restaurants out here in rak. they have been open for a while now but they seem to have maintained a consistent level of quality and taste in their food. evidence of this can be seen by how many customers are in there on most weekends
restaurant ambience is great and it's a good place to entertain guests as well. nice family rooms as well. last night my wife and i went to eat at caesars after a reasonably long gap and we ordered the beef shashlik sizzler plate with pepper sauce, the vegetable hakka noodles and the hot and sour chicken soup.
as appetiser, they serve you roasted papads with a nice mint chutney to whet the appetite. the hot and sour soup was thick, spicy and really hit the spot. my only gripe would be that i think they use tinned mushrooms in the soup which does leave a slight metallic after taste once you bite into them. still a good soup though.
soon after they brought out the sizzling plate of beef shashlik. sizzlers are always great because it's arrival is announced well before you see the actual dish due to the unmissable sizzling sounds as the hotplate makes it way down from the kitchen. the steaming hotplate had a large portion of succulent beef slathered with an excellent pepper sauce siting on top of some nice veggies and thick cut french fries. it came with a bowl of white rice so actually we didn't need to order the veggie hakka noodles as an accompaniment to soak up the tasty pepper sauce.
the service was excellent and the staff are really attentive plus they do have a lot of staff to attend all the diners. for our meal, we paid aed 118 including a couple of soft drinks. in terms of value for money, prices are a little high but if you account for the whole package in terms of quality, taste, ambience and reputation then it is good value for money. theirmenuis very extensive and they also serve persian, indian and continental cuisine.
must say that i really enjoyed our main course........ and also made me realise that i don't need to bemoan the fact that rak has no yoko sizzlers because now i can just go down to caesars to enjoy a nice sizzler. yay!!!
