Al Fanar Restaurant
April 16, 2012Posted by Kanga.
Last Tuesday we met friends, old and new, for dinner at Al Fanar Restaurant at Festival City. This is a new restaurant that serves traditional Emirati food.
First came the appetizers – robyan mashwi (prawns), koftat samak, balalit (sweet noodles with omelet) and lovely flat bread.
(I wasn’t going to post this picture, but I figure if you stick your tongue out while someone is taking a picture, all bets are off.)
We had a brief rest between courses.
Then came the main courses – samak magli, saloona samak badaweyah, thereed, and machboos dajaj.
Of course, there were several rounds of tea.
Then came dessert – khanfaroush, asidat bobar, khobar khameer, and leqaimat.
The food, service, and atmosphere were all wonderful. Highly recommended.

I walked past it today and was wondering if you’d been there. Now I know…loved the way the outdoor seating looked.
You should check out the inside also. Very nice!
is it hard to get up off the floor after eating?
Honey, at our age it is hard to get down to the floor before eating.
