The Roost Rotisserie’s new wrap
The home-grown, family-friendly restaurant introduces a new dish called the Kurtos Kone Wraps. It’s their version of what a wrap could be, except it’s made with an unbelievably soft and tasty dough. The chicken is wrapped around a truncated cone-shaped dough, and then placed in a specially designed rotisserie oven where it is cooked until it is golden brown. Every Wednesday, they serve a trio of savoury flavours, including Arabic, made with garlic and Parmesan coated Kurtos Kone, stuffed with shredded rotisserie chicken, pickles and handmade garlic sauce; Greek, made with oregano and mint-coated Kurtos Kone, stuffed with shredded rotisserie chicken and handmade Tzatziki; and Mexican, made with coriander-coated Kurtos Kone, stuffed with shredded rotisserie chicken, smashed avocado, homemade chimichurri and Sriracha mayo.
Location: Al Thania Road, Al Wasl.
Cost: Dh45.
Timings: Sunday to Wednesday from 12pm to 11pm, Thursday to Saturday from 12pm 12am.
The Red Sun Brunch at Katana
The Red Sun Brunch at Address Downtown is designed to be a Japanese sharing experience. Experience a 25-course tour of three popular styles of Japanese cooking. The brunch begins with a selection of a la carte appetisers, such as salmon carpaccio and tiger prawn tempura. Followed by charcoal-grilled skewers, fresh sushi and other favourites, complemented with a range of beverages. What we love is the view this restaurant has of The Burj Khalifa and the fresh beats that add some life to the vibe.
