I was so craving for Indian cuisine after a short holiday. So I planned an evening with family for a dinner at Zafran located at the Dubai Marina Mall. While “Zafran” can be enjoyed at Mirdif, I like this particular one as it overlooks the beautiful Marina water side amidst the sky rise buildings and the gorgeous lit cruises. The view makes this place really special besides the warm and welcoming staff.

Zafran is an Award Winning Contemporary Indian Restaurant that takes inspiration from the Indian spice Saffron (Kesar). The menu features some unique dishes from all the regions of India. It’s practically impossible to try all the dishes but some are our family favorites are Tomato Coriander soup, Chicken & Mushroom soup, Dahee Kebab, Veg Mixed Grill (Broccoli is simple amazing in the platter), Papdi Chat is yummy reminds me of Delhi chat corners, Seafood mixed grill, Dal Bukhari and Mushroom Masala is wow. Unique and refreshing Mocktails not to be missed: Kashmirs Dew, Watermelon Mint Smash, Adraki-Honey Nariyal Pani.

Starting September the terrace at Zafran Dubai marina mall will be open to dine. It’s located on Level 1, East Walk, Mirdif City Centre & Ground Level, Dubai Marina Mall

Dinner for 4 with Mocktails will cost between AED 500 to AED 600
