Dubai Dining That Justifies the Bill

Luxury diner
Not the most expensive rooms in Dubai.
The ones where the bill made sense afterwards.
Who is Nada?
The friend everyone texts.
“I’m the person everyone texts asking where to eat.”
I’m not easily impressed, and most places don’t make it past one visit. These did, again and again, which is the only reason they’re here.

About Nada
My days basically revolve around the food I will eat and I’m not easily impressed. I’m the person everyone texts asking where to eat because I refuse to recommend anywhere I wouldn’t pay for myself. Good food gets a second visit. Great food gets forced onto all my friends.
