head out to crossings at the h hotel, to devour in fine dining experience which takes you to a nostalgic journey of culinary adventure across india. with a 4-course set menu, be prepared to be taken on a trip that will revitalize your taste buds. they have something for every spice lover withdishescatering to multicultural palettes. dishes are diverse – food from the rajput kitchens, secret family recipes from northeast india and traditional coastal fare. you’ll also note influences from the caribbean, portugal, france and britain, all crossing their way into the chaos of this vibrant cuisine.
coming back to the dining experience; as you enter, you are greeted by a gentle lady greeting you with a smile and escorts you to your choice of seating after confirming the reservation. i was astounded by the alluring interiors that the place has.  a large dining room with a long bar and high stools provides a handy spot for a drink pre- or post-meal. they also have outdoor seating which is beautifully lit up and has an astonishing view of world trade centre.
for iftaar, they have a 4 course set menu and our lady host; ms. lucy was very helpful and ensured that we had pleasant dining experience.
for starters we had :
🌟dal moradabad – an innovative version of dal pakwaan  
🌟chaat – not your usual chaat. it was a chaat served on different green leaves (apart from palak leaves).
🌟paneer tikka- their in- house paneer is to die for. soft and succulent just melts in your mouth.
our mains were:
🌟saag: medley of five mountain grown green leaves with a tadka of ghee and garlic just won my taste buds.
🌟dal makhani- one can never go wrong with this dish.
our meals were complimented with assorted roti basket
it was now time to indulge in the most sinful experience ; desserts which were:
🌟serradura – a unique dessert with jackfruit, cream, cheese and milk
🌟malai kesar sundae- pan ice cream served with ghevar lattice.

each dish has a story behind it and special mention to chef arjun for narrating these tales to us.
the food was an absolute reminisce of old memories without being too stuffed.

what a fantastic restaurant , or shall i say indeed a ‘crossing of flavors ‘ with such an interesting menu . the crossing @the h hotel sets high expectations , the team delivers even better !!

a menu that is impossible to find anywhere else
.
i tried a few very interestingdishes, courtesy recommendations of their knowledgable & cohesive staff matze kebab ( the best i’ve ever tried)
lal maas steak ( can u imagine a steak & lal maas together ,

dal moradabadi ( vegetarians u will love the presentation , first time for me .. )

gunpowder prawns

lamb chops by the piece ( good concept )
the bengali mustard fish ( yumm) succulent chicken tikka & their keema fried rice .

their breads are quite innovative too .

the place has a buzzing vibe to it , so no matter how early you come , you will end up staying late :-)
coming back for sure very very soon to try their thukpa, rus omlette , afghan pulav & of course my favorite the matze kebab .

a fine dining experience indeed! from the service to the mouthwateringdishesthat are part of the iftar menu! the restaurant offers two set menus to choose from.

🤔 i dunno where to start. but to be honest, whether you're an indian or not, but you do enjoy indian cuisine, you will not eat anywhere else after visiting the crossings.

i was so excited to try theirdishesfor the first time together with friends. first, the cozy ambience is awesome, you enter and you your eyes will be greeted by a wide variety of bottled wines displayed on the shelves to make start anticipating what you're getting into😁.

we had chaat, dal moradabad, ragi khoozh, paneer tikka, chicken makhab malai, mangalorean chicken, mango curry, saag, dal crossings, thalassery biryani & some selection of breads.

all thedishesthat went down into my belly were all wonderful but you all know that every where you go, you must have your favorites & mine were the chaat, dal moradabad, paneer tikka & the amaaaaaaazing mango curry which you can have it with rice or my favorite bread, the 'mangolorean' bun.

i'm sorry guys, i got carried away by thesedishesright from the first bites and i couldn't go ahead taking photos of the remaining dishes. i even missed to take a photo of my top favorite mango curry🙈🙈.

a big shout out to the manager and his team of chefs and amazing service staff. see you guys soon, as i look forward to trying other items on your menu.

shukriya 🙏

a nostalgic take on fusion indian food & drinks with an ambient outdoor & indoor space in @thehdubai something for every spice lover withdishescatering to multicultural palettes. refreshing & a perfect fusion of east & west is how i would express my experience. loved the cocktails, grills and mains. we had the gunpowder prawns, chaat for starters, paneer tikka and seekh kebab for grills. for mains we had the goat curry, manglorean chicken curry and keema fried rice. the curries are absolutely a walk fown memory lane without being too heavy on the stomach. our favorite dessert is the daahi boondi. overall extensive menu for any palette type. can't wait to see what they have coming up for ramadan & summer for tasting menus and sharing platters. they have valet parking also
must visit 👌

never had indian cuisine before. this experience was
amazingly good. the starters were tasty in so many ways,
the maindisheshad so many flavors and the dessert just
left me speechless. never knew frozen yogurt could be as
good as they make it, even had a beautiful story behind it
which our albanian waiter explained to us while he was
mixing everything. the whole staff was professional and well
mannered. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who has
never tried indian food cuisine before. 11/10 would
recommend to those who have, it'll be your to-go spot from
the first visit.

just came after a sumptuous & delicious meal at the crossing ! i can safely say that its the best indian food one can taste in dubai. apart from the fresh look & feel, ambience & personalized service that was just next level, it is the food that truly blew us away ! everything we were recommended was par excellence from the starters(prawn gun powder, chaat) , to the mains(meat pulao, raan, lal maas, mutton curry, butter chicken and a special mention for the dal makhni .....all absolute musts to try! and despite not having much room in the belly after such a elaborate spread , we just had to see what they had up their sleeves to please the sweet tooth & complete an exquisite meal .we went ahead with two recommended desserts and my word, were they delightful ! and to add the icing to the cake , we did not feel heavy or uncomfortable well after the meal like one can after eating indian food outside of one's home. that goes to show they have managed to make tasty food without it being too rich in oil , butter & spices. definitely going back to try thedisheswe could not have just in one outing!

this place is an absolute must-try. went there with 4 couples and kids. we ordered mix of starters (paneer tikka, chat, dal pakwan, chicken tikka); main course (sag, paneer, mutton and chicken) - alldisheswere great and delicious. it doesn’t make your fingers get coloured (no artificial colours used) and you don’t feel full or sleepy (food is not greasy).
one observation, people with spicy palate might need to ask the chef to make it more spicy since this is for a broader visitors- but you can always add some green chillies which we asked for on the side.
the ambience is great. this restaurant can easily be mistaken for a european fine dine restaurant with very classy decor. great outside seating in the winters. light neutral music which allows you to get the vibe but still can chit chat while enjoying your food.
the alchohol range is great- although we order much. the malbec (red wine) was great and the mocktails were amazing.
the biggest highlights was the deserts. we ordered 5 varieties which range the length and breadth of india/world - kulfi (north), jackfruit (south), yogurt/bundi (bihar), a french and chocolate (global).
this is a new restaurant and in my humble opinion- a hidden gem!

it’s amazing how simple food & basic nutritious ingredients can elevate the taste and have bold flavours. this is exactly what you will get as a part of your unforgettable experience at the brand-new shiny restaurant 🌟@thecrossing located at @thehhotel
 
the team at @thecrossing is truly redefining indian cuisine & showing the world that #indianfood does not always have to be rich & heavy ! it can also be healthy & light✨ !
 
they bring back the nostalgia of life on the subcontinent, with all its blurred lines and chaos. the dining experience here is immersed in the nostalgia of secret indian family recipes, our countries diversity & how crisscrossed our culture is!
 
they also celebrate all the foreign influences that have helped evolve indian food over the years & offer you the best version of modern indian dining but keeping the essence of thesedishesintact.
 
every dish on the menu has an untold story, so true to the diversity & creativity my country has to offer !
 
what blew my mind is, every server despite their nationality celebrated indian cuisine & was brilliantly trained to walk us though every dish served & its pulse 💚 truly impressive …
 
the crossing has the capability to take modern indian cuisine to the world map, a huge pat on their back for taking up this task and smashing it out of the park !
 
some of the most memorabledisheson our table were –
✨small plates - chaat, dal moradabad, ragi khoozh, gunpowder prawns
✨grills – paneer tikka, matze kebabs , chicken makhan malai
✨curry – mango curry with seafood, dal makhani, saag
this was served with assorted breads and steamed rice
✨dessert – serradura, chocolate bake, malai kesar sundae & dahi boondi

the crossing @thecrossingdubai at the h hotel offers a truly unique indian cuisine experience using quality produce cooked with a fine dining twist. when it comes to their creative menu, chef @arjunsingh86 has added a new dimension to indigenous and foreign ingredients striving to stand out from the crowd and define a culinary experience unique to different parts of the country.

for appetizers, i would recommend the 'matze kebabs' (minced mutton kebab in fennel, mint and yoghurt curry) and the beautifully presented 'chaat' (shiso, mustard, kale, pepper leaf crips and chickpeas with mint and yoghurt).

in mains, please try the 'caribbean goat curry' (chock full of veggies in a slow-cooked rich coconut gravy) and the unassumingly delicious 'saag' (amaranthus, fenugreek greens, spinach and cornmeal).

the 'pink gin' with a gin and campari infused rasgulla packs a punch. try it if you like strong cocktails.

the crossing is a great place to get cocktails, relax in their beautifully set interiors (or outdoor area) and enjoy non-traditional tasting indiandishesthat won't have you feeling heavy or reaching for fire extinguishers. a great addition to the city culinary scene.

the crossings dubai is a newly opened, home-grown concept that explores different cuisines from remote parts of india. this is something between contemporary indian and what you would eat at your grandma’s house :). crossing is licensed, and it has replaced mumbai and co. it’s run by chef ankoor of zafran and peppermill fame. (images are attached de certain dishes. the complete dining experience can be checked at dine out dubai’s facebook page or crossing’s goggle maps review.) these are thedisheswe sampled:

gunpowder prawns: the perfect hot starter, i loved the sauce.

chicken makhan malai: the chicken was very tender, very balanced, and the portion was big enough to be a main.

matze kebab: they come in a pair, and they are perfect for those who have a thing for mutton.

chaat: loved this one because i have a thing for palak pakora.

lal maas: restaurant’s version of rib-eye with curry sauce. generous portion and a great-quality steak, it was the perfect main course.

bengali mustard fish: i was obsessed with this dish with everything from the texture to the flavor. underneath the fish, there was radish (which i never thought would be an option for fish, but evidently it works.)

mutton pulav: the best i’ve ever had in a restaurant. mutton so soft that it melts right into your mouth. 10/10 would recommend it.

daal crossing: crossing’s take on daal

saag: not your usual saag; it has a very unique texture and flavor.

ragi khoozh: this dish is from the tamilian region – rice porridge i’d never noticed. i enjoyed it for its wholesome flavors and simplicity.

dahi boondi sev: jhar kand on a plate (you need to try the dessert to find out what this means!)
chocolate bake: a dessert perfectly paired with a strong coffee.
