Man oh Man! Good food in the Middle East!!! Outstandingly quick but Tasty pabulum of pakistani/indian/Nepalese/Chinese/Filipino fusion...ordered the whole pepper chicken and tapsilog and was not disappointed! All at an affordable price. 1 thing i noticed though, is that your farts will never be the same. Good food mate! I love this joint!!!

This restaurant is recommended for both Kerala and foreign-style dishes, and the food items are nice and tasty. The entire team's service is really cheap and subpar. They are unconcerned about service and service-related actions. It will be a good start if management takes action against the bad behaviour of the service and delivery staff.

I've eaten here twice, and the food was delicious. Tomato curry was well balanced, not extremely fiery, with plenty of curry leaves and mustard seeds (south indian/sri lankan style), egg roast was a bit on the gravier side, but delicious, prepared with a lot of onions and the sweetness of onions really comes through. In the morning I went back for dosa set, the dosas are excellent and very fluffy, not too sour. Appam also nice, coconut chutney and saambhar is great! Parathas are excellent, chapatis are not very good. Will try bulalo and papaitan next time. Bonus: you can pay by card. Prices are reasonable. I absolutely recommend :)

Tasty Bowl Café quickly became our daily breakfast haunt while we were holidaying in Dubai, and for good reason! The food was always fresh and tasty, their chai is amazing and service is quick. Again their chai—easily the highlight. Perfect, comforting, and something we looked forward to every day, several times a day! They have a great variety of food - all delicious!!! If you’re looking for a great food and amazing chai, definitely check out Tasty Bowl Café. We’ll be back for sure on our next trip!

Tasty Bol Restaurant Al Barsha 1 is a cherished tradition that allows us to slow down, unwind, and indulge in the simple pleasure of a warm cup of tea. Whether enjoyed alone or with loved ones, it provides a much-needed respite from the fast-paced world. Here's a review of my Tea Time experiences: Serene Atmosphere: Tea Time venues typically exude a serene and inviting atmosphere. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and soothing background music create a peaceful ambiance that encourages relaxation. The gentle clinking of teacups and the fragrance of freshly brewed tea contribute to the tranquil setting, making it a perfect escape from the daily hustle and bustle. Tea Selection: The heart of any Tea Time experience lies in the tea itself. The selection of teas available varies from classic and well-known varieties to unique and exotic blends. The best venues often curate their tea menu with great care, ensuring a diverse range of options to suit different palates. From black, green, and herbal teas to floral and spiced infusions, there is something to satisfy every tea lover's preference. Delectable Treats: Accompanying the tea are an array of delectable treats that enhance the experience. Delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of pastries and cakes are commonly served. The presentation is often elegant, and the flavors are crafted to complement the tea. Some venues even offer seasonal or themed menus, adding a touch of creativity and variety. Attentive Service: The quality of service during Tea Time is crucial in creating a memorable experience. Attentive and knowledgeable staff members who can guide guests through the tea selection and explain the origin and flavor profiles elevate the overall experience. Prompt service and a friendly demeanor contribute to a sense of warmth and hospitality, making guests feel welcomed and cared for. Price and Value: The cost of Tea Time can vary depending on the venue, location, and menu offerings. While some establishments offer more affordable options, others may be higher priced, particularly for more luxurious settings or specialty teas. However, the value lies not just in the tea and food but also in the ambiance, service, and the opportunity to unwind and enjoy a moment of tranquility. Social and Personal Connection: Tea Time is a wonderful opportunity for socializing or personal reflection. It can be enjoyed with friends, family, or even as a solitary experience. Engaging in conversations over tea or savoring moments of quiet introspection, Tea Time offers a chance to connect with oneself and others in a relaxed and unhurried setting. In conclusion, Tea Time provides a serene and delightful experience that allows us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. It offers a moment of respite and a chance to indulge in flavorful teas and delectable treats. Whether seeking solitude or companionship, Tea Time venues create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation. So, take a break from the demands of the day and immerse yourself in the soothing ritual of Tea Time.
