Enjoying a meal in Dubai is always an experience, as there is always a wide array of cuisines and flavours to choose from.
The recently opened SMOKD Eatery at Boxpark Dubai is a brilliant place to check out to enjoy appetising dishes, that will have diners coming back for more.
The restaurant has outdoor seating, that is amazing to enjoy during the cooler months with picturesque views of the sunset in the evening and plush indoor seating, decked out in a terracotta and mint green scheme, with a direct glimpse into the open kitchen, watching the Chefs cook.
Cool down from the humid weather with drinks, where the chilli mango margarita and strawberry passion mojito were light and refreshing, and the perfect start to all that was to come.
Each great meal has a starter, with options from baby gems salad and SMOKD tonnato, the choices here do not disappoint. One of the highlights from the starters was the rock shrimps that were battered and deep-fried to a golden hue. When dipped into the spicy mayonnaise was a brilliant balance of flavours.
Moving on to the SMOKD Signatures, the SMOKD prime short ribs were a show and burst of flavours all in one. The dish was brought to the table where a blowtorch was used to sear the meat and when tucked in, instantly fell off the bone. Covered in barbeque sauce and served with a side of pumpkin butternut puree, it was an amazing medley of flavours.
The mains under Heavy, were filling and satisfying. The linguine was served with SMOKD brisket, tomato concasse and brisket tempura as well as the spaghetti with crabmeat, pine nuts and heirloom tomatoes, which had the right balance of flavours and were decadent dishes to tuck into.
No meal is ever complete without dessert and it was definitely the star of the show. The cheesecake was topped with orange zest that was added to the dish and made the taste buds sing.
The average price for a starter, main and dessert is Dhs 190.
