Authentic Arabic Atmosphere and Cuisine

When traveling I always seek out authentic indigenous cuisine.
In the Dubai I would highly recommend Al Manzil Hotels atrium restaurant called:
The Courtyard
Great outdoor atmosphere, fantastic array of Arabic foods, and this is the one place you want to go ahead and experience the Shisha water pipe, (hookah for those of us who learned the Indian term)

You will smoke authentic shisha, (flavours include rose and apple) in this dimly lit, atmospheric amid the arches and vegetation and in the evening a starry sky. The restaurant menu includes an assortment of cold and hot mezzes, soups and mixed grills. Dishes include hummus, Persian yoghurt and falafel. A broad a la carte menu is also available if you fancy poultry, fish or steak. Service was exceptional and the foods were all exceptionally prepared.
