'Tis festive season at Soho Bar & Grill

Author John Thomas
The most wonderful time of the year is finally here and its time for celebration. And needless to say, no celebration is complete without the company of loved ones and of course great food. So, we went to Soho Bar & Grill in Century Village, Garhoud to check out their new festive menu and see what they have in store for the season.

Just next door to Irish Village in Garhoud is the Century Village and here you can find a couple of good restaurants and Soho Bar & Grill is the one of the best among them. We were impressed beyond words with the food, service, ambiance and the over-all experience that we decided to go there again for our Christmas brunch.




 The Drinks
We were welcomed with a glass of mulled wine and live music in the background. With the winter winds swirling in, nothing could have been more apt than mulled wine for a welcome drink. It literally set light to the evening. An absolutely delight to savor, it was sweet just to the appropriate level and carried a strong, yet very pleasant aroma of cinnamon.

The Food
For starters we ordered a sharing platter which included TNT Shrimps, Soho wings, Fried mac and cheese, corn on cob and their signature dips. We also tried their Quinoa salad which was garden fresh and scrumptious.

The Soho wings looked tempting and being my all-time favorite dish, that’s the first thing I dug my fork into. It tasted as amazing as it looked. The TNT shrimps were succulent and luscious. It came layered in a very delicate coating of sticky Korean sauce.



Fried mac and cheese preserved all the ‘cheesy’ goodness inside while having the perfect crunchiness outside. It was absolute delight in every bite.Finally chargrilled corn on cob was super soft and tasty.  It was layered with generous amounts of Mexican feta sauce, chilli, lime and coriander. Nothing could have been a better appetizer than this sharing platter!


For the main course we had a platter of hormone-free turkey, served with roast potatoes and assorted winter vegetables.  From the very first bite, we could tell that the meat was fresh and of very good quality.



We also ordered a Soho delux vegetarian pizza. The veggies were garden fresh and the pizza extremely tasty. It could easily rival and defeat some of the biggest names in the pizza business.
Finally it was desert time. We washed it all down with some ice cream, chocolate brownie and scrumptious cheesecake.



 The Ambiance
The ambiance was extremely soothing with running water, lots of foliage, subtle lighting and great indoor and outdoor alfresco seating.



The elusive lighting and ambiance relaxed us and served as a perfect start to our weekend. Add to that the lovely music from Soho’s talented singer added a shimmer to our evening.



The place is ideal for an intimate dinner with friends or family. What’s more, Soho also sports pool tables, foosball and a host of other games to keep you entertained.



 The Service
The service was impeccable and impressive. Their staff were very attentive to our orders and food preferences and had clear idea about the food they were serving. The outlet manager checked on us often to make sure everything was as per our liking.

The Verdict
Overall Soho Bar & Grill is a wonderful place to enjoy great food and service in a super relaxing ambiance. Do check them out as they have a lot of seasonal festive offerings running currently. There can’t be a better place than Soho Bar & Grill, to enjoy a Christmas brunch with the family.

A Bong Affair at Dil Se Desi, Bur Dubai

Bengal is home to one of the most diverse and unique cuisines in the whole of India and no two Bengali dishes are alike. Having lived in the UAE for past thirteen years, I have had the good fortune to enjoy some varied international cuisines however, however there has been a big lacunae in the Bengali culinary space with very few restaurants specialised in Bengali fare. There are hardly any restaurants here in Dubai that cater to this segment. I thank my good friend and blogger Subashree for introducing me to Dil Se Desi. This restaurant is an answer the long felt need for more north indian and bengali cuisine restaurants in this space.  The restaurant is run by a passionate couple who left their jobs to follow their dream of starting a restaurant that offered very true-to-roots simple and sincere fare that could be enjoyed by all. I visited Dil Se Desi last week - a very humble and unassuming restaurant offering some very refreshing north eastern tastes. I enjoyed s

Enjoy a truly cultural experience in one of Dubai’s most progressive neighborhoods at Gursha Ethiopian Restaurant Ethiopian cuisine has been gaining a whole new level of popularity globally off late and this is with good reason. The usage of highly nutritious native vegetables, spices and meat make Ethiopian cuisine one of the most unique and delicious cuisines in the world.  What's more, the Ethiopian national staple food - the Injera, is made of highly nutritious and gluten-free  teff  grain. This grain indigenous to the Ethiopian region, is known to contain a very high proportion of fiber — more than any other grain on Earth. It is also a complete source of protein, iron and calcium. These healthy properties coupled with the variety in culinary choices make Ethiopian food one of world's more favored food choices. Sadly, if there’s one cuisine in Dubai that most people haven’t tried, it’s probably Ethiopian. With only a handful restaurants serving traditional Et

After my recent visit to Gunaydin – which in my opinion is the best Turkish restaurant in Dubai, my expectations from any Turkish restaurants have risen to all time high. When I got invited from Zou Zou – the Turkish Lebanese restaurant at La Mer, I was all in for it, to try and compare. I visited Zou Zou last week with a very dear friend who is also a big foodie like me and a lover of all things Turkish. So needless to say, we went there with lots of expectations and a hungry tummy of course. I must mention that Zou Zou didn’t disappoint. First off I have to remark about the service. It was pleasant, warm and quick. I was met by Latif Kural the friendly operations manager who has played a role in the setting up several reputed Turkish restaurants in the Dubai.  He is a fine guy with a very pleasant disposition who ensured we felt 'at home'. Latif assigned a waiter de table for us and made sure to drop in every now and then to check on us and see if we were enjoyi
