what is is that makes a good restaurant great? sumptuous food and amazing experience.
and you sure would get both of them at khyber - dukes dubai
located in palm jumeirah, its an aesthetically done north indian restaurant. i visited thisplacelast week on my wife's b'day and my positive experience started right when i made the booking for the evening.
i made the booking through zomato and soon received a confirmation. the booking form asked if it was my first visit and was it going to be a special occassion. little thing, but matters.
sometime later i get a call from their team confirming the booking and taking note of the special occassion. they also checked if we had any dietary restrictions or allergies.
on our way to the restaurant, i realised we could be late because of traffic. i informed the restaurant and they were kind enough to accomodate my request.
when we reached the restaurant, we were greeted by deepika at the reception and attended by hitesh at our table. both, very friendly and great at their roles.
we chose an outdoor seating and the view is just beautiful. overlooking the beach and the atlantis, dim lights added to the scene makes for a perfect romantic outing.
anyway, we placed our order and were glad with the number of vegetatian options they had. we ordered for a veg kabab platter (serves 2) - it had a mix of paneer tikka, corn tikki, tandoori gobi and grilled broccoli - well cooked and aptly marinated, it made for a great starter.
next up was dal makhni and lasuni palak. both dishes served right to their reputation of being a north indian restaurant.
and when finally we asked for the cheque after this feast, hitesh and deepika surprised us with a little b'day cake as i had earlier mentioned it was my wife's b'day.
so in a nutshell, good food, great views, and exception service. (made better with zomato gold)
will i visit thisplaceagain? indeed.
