AL MAWAL DECK LUNCH | GHAYA GRAND HOTEL, IMPZ, DUBAI

A lazy Saturday afternoon calls for some good food with friends and family on an open terrace with some cold breeze, sipping away flavourful mojitos. Al Mawal Deck Lunch makes your Saturdays truly refreshing and fun. The place is perfect for families with little kids. They have a soft play area, balloon benders, face painters and their buffet setup is so colourful and funky. They have 5 live counters, a dedicated salad bar and a drinks counter where they serve yummy mojitos. Their taco bar is something we really liked. You can make your own tacos with different types of fillings to choose from. You can also grab a plate of nachos if you like. The tacos and nachos had lost their crunch but they tasted quite good. The pasta live counter is something to look out for. The chef prepares fresh and yummy red and white pasta as per your taste. The first round of Penne Arrabiata was a little dry. But next plate was wiped clean by us. The taste of your pasta totally depends on how detailed your instructions are to the chef. If you are a barbeque fan, then the next live counter is for you. They have a live barbeque and shawarma counter only for non-vegetarians. They have fish, beef, chicken and sausages ready to be barbequed and served to you. We felt that the chicken that we ordered was slighly undercooked and the shawarma was a bit dry. They also a serve a wide variety of continental dishes such as roasted potatoes, malaysian veg curry, steamed rice, etc. Tasty and light - ideal Saturday food. And now for those who are already thinking about the desserts. The deck lunch doesn’t offer too many live dessert options other than waffles topped with chocolate, mango, strawberry or cream. They also have a selection of pastries and tarts which do look appealing but failed to impress our sweet tooth. They also have packed fresh fruit boxes for those counting calories. Although we enjoyed our time at the Deck Lunch, we felt like there was something missing. The food can be prepared better, service can be improved and a few more dishes can be added to the menu for more variety.
