i have been dying to go to this place and it lived up to the name. my only pet peeve about paper fig? it took them quite a while to get our orders to the table - other than that, it was an incredible tastebuds adventure!
we ordered the grilled prawns with spiced rice - the prawns were grilled to perfection and the rice, when had with the accompanying lemon butter sauce, was a revelation. our other dishes included the lemonchicken(tasty and flavorful served with olives and sun dried tomatoes) with a rice bowl side and pink risotto withchickenand mushrooms which tasted exactly how risotto should be prepared and had - creamy and with ingredients that go with it rather than hide it.
no visit to paper fig is complete without having the blossom feast, and it lived up to its theatrics. the multilevel raspberry cake-pannacotta-chocolate crumble- sweet cream sauce served with pistachio ice cream is something no one should leave the restaurant without having. each level of the desert was an explosion of flavor and texture, and it is something to be remembered. while my lunch companions had chais, i had a delicious unicorn milkshake which was topped with cotton candy that melted at first contact with the mouth. this hidden gem in muwailih should be granted 5/5 for everything, but it should speed up it's service. an excellent choice for anyone wanting to explore the sharjah culinary scene
