Hibachi

 The revamped Roda Al Bustan (previously Rotana Al Bustan) has a plethora of restaurants. I tried Hibachi (previously Benihana) and was not disappointed one bit.
I was invited for the Japatapas, and was pretty intrigued to see Japan mixing with Spain.
Cherry Blossom trees were placed on either sides welcoming it’s patrons to a beautiful night of Japanese cuisine and hospitality. The restaurant has a live station and also a sushi station.





The Japatapas had a set four course menu. We started off with a sushi platter and kale & quinoa salad. Had I known the food that was to flow, I wouldn’t have devoured the scrumptious Sushi platter and fresh salad.

We were served a bucket of peanuts to strat our Japatapas journey.





The second course had a lot food. It included – peppered tuna, salmon and hammour, tofu steak with paratha, seafood diablo, hibachi goreng and Yakichorva.









My favorite were, the perfectly cooked tuna, the delish salmon, tofu steak was very tasty however the parathas were a miss for me. Prawns were perfectly cooked and the sauce was exceedingly saporous. I was too full to try the hibachi goreng and yakichorva – but my friend loved it.

We moved onto the third course (I was almost ready to burst). The third course has many star dishes, almost all of them were in their own way. The chicken wings were so succulent, juicy with the right amount of spice. Crispy chicken in garlic sauce was again palatable. Both the beef dishes – with teriyaki and sake were mouthwatering. Perfectly cooked and small bites ensured one could savor all the food.








Ram and an ever smiling server were always around to assist us. We enjoyed amazing Red wine and Sake as well.




We moved onto dessert and had a full house on the table with Crepe Ice cream, Chocolate brownie and Japanese cheesecake.

The brownie wasn’t something I liked as much as I loved the Crepe ice cream.



The problem with being a blogger is that you have to take pictures and then satiate your taste buds. In the interim the ice cream melted away to the wrap. However, inspite of that the crepe was toothsome.




My expectation of the Japanese cheesecake was that it should wiggle (Instagram videos, keep messing with your mind) I did everything to make it wiggle and then gave up. But on digging in, I realized that wiggle or not – the taste was amazing.





The service, food, ambiance is just perfect.

Roda Grill

Roda Grill located in Roda Al Bustan is nothing short of a paradise for Steak and ardent sea food fans. The restaurant is modeled to look like a cozy dining space, complete with wooden paneling and hardwood floors. The lights are muted to create a very comfortable and intimate setting. 








The restaurant has a separate dining and a bar area. The bar is equipped with the finest of wines and beverages. We were spoilt for choice between our wines.

We started our dinner with freshly baked bread that was served with 3 spreads – butter, salted butter and olive. I loved the freshly baked bread and the accompaniments.



We had the wonderful opportunity to meet Lus , who just made our evening so much better with his warm smile and assistance. Post inquiring on our choice of meals and preference of wine, he suggested Malbec and Bordeaux. Being a bit of a wine novice, I decided to try Malbec and it was an ideal choice.

We ordered for Caesar salad and Roda scallops.



Caesar salad was made live at our table, it was fun to see the salad being made. We chose to have all the ingredients in the salad – romaine lettuce, anchovy, bacon, parmesan, croutons, Caesar salad dressing and finally topped with chicken. The chicken was a bit dry, and on mentioning the same – it was immediately changed to a juicy and tasty version.

It's flattering how the staff is so attentive to your needs.





Roda Scallops is definitely a must try. Prawns and scallops are served in a creamy base of spinach, woodland mushroom and Parmesan. It was buttery and scrumptious. Try the Roda Scallops with the fresh  bread. It was pure foodgasm.




Roda Grill is famous for its steaks and rightly so. We ordered for our steaks based on recommendations given by the staff, and ordered mashed potato and lemon butter sauce to go with them. I opted for the Roda special Braised Angus beef with mushroom pie. 



The steaks were presented on a wooden base, and topped with potato chips. I loved the rustic presentation, and couldn’t wait to gorge. My meat was just the perfect medium rare I love, the lemon butter sauce and mashed potatoes complimented it perfectly. The mushroom pie was served with a crispy golden crust along with Colcannon kale mashed potatoes. It was such a pleasing spread.




The wine, steak, accompaniments, music and ambiance was just perfect.




For dessert we were suggested to try the chocolate soufflé, and I for one, cannot resist anything chocolate and we happily agreed to the suggestion. The soufflé was pure dessert heaven. If you go to Roda Grill, you HAVE to try the chocolate soufflé! It was served in a warm base with vanilla ice cream. The chocolate soufflé was everything a dessert should be. It was soft, moist and delectable. The spoon just slid into the soufflé and combined with the ice cream it was heavenly. You will end up savoring it and forgetting everything else around you – It’s one of the best soufflé I have had, that I even forgot to click pictures post devouring. Every mouthful made me beam. It was the most blissful minutes I have had in a long time. All I wanted was the soufflé, a cozy blanket and isolation with a beautiful view.





The second dessert for the evening were chocolate balls. I loved the theatrics with nitrogen and  served in a ramekin. Every bite was heavenly, and opened up layers of chocolate inside. Both the milk and semi dark chocolate tasted amazing.



We washed our gratifying meal down with green tea and coffee.

I loved how we weren’t rushed with placing our order, or to finish each course. The staff was very attentive and cleared the cutlery and plate post every course. 

Roda Grill is a lovely, quiet place which serves excellent food. Although we did have a bit of confusion initially –  it was all forgotten once Lus stepped in and made our evening at Roda Grill  a memorable one. The staff is very helpful and ensured that everyone was comfortable.

It’s a must visit place, and when you do go – don’t forget the Scallops and most importantly the Chocolate soufflé.
