Where: Masti at La Mer, Dubai
Masti Restaurant located in La Mer, Dubai
The Low Down: Flair is the word that comes to mind when you spend an evening at Masti. The atmosphere is rich and moody whilst the menu is a re-imagination of global gastronomy, an unexpected and unpredictable ode to the colors and flavors of India. Here, the side dishes aren’t simply accompaniments. The gruyere cheese flatbread and soy & ginger brussels sprouts are must-tries, pairing with anything on the menu. The drinks menu is equally as imaginative, including mocktails and cocktails created by inspired mixologists.
With cooler climates not too far off, request a table on the terrace which offers sea views on one side and the striking Dubai skyline on the other. Whether it’s date night, an evening with the girls, or a family celebration, Masti is the home of experimental fusion.
If, like me, you prefer your dessert to resemble a West End production, order the Lotus Snap, Crackle & Pop. Simply the most imaginative sweet, presented and served in a flurry of dry ice at your table.
Our tip? Stick around for a post-dinner nightcap with Masti’s Elephant Trunk happy hour. Available after 10 pm from Wednesday until Sunday and set to live beats, this has all the makings of memorable lock-in. Enjoy 2 For 1 offers on selected beverages and 15% off special bar bites. www.mastidubai.com, (04) 344 4384.
