Blacksmith
Blacksmith
claims to be the best smokehouse in town. They serve some great bbq and other
dishes along with mouthwatering drinks and desserts to the Dubai folks after it
opened doors in february. It is located at Wyndham Dubai Marina, with a great
outdoor area and indoor. If you are looking to ‘put some south in your mouth’
as they say, then Blacksmith is your place.
The ambiance is very chilled
out, diner feel with rustic elements thrown in. Graffiti art on walls give it a
very casual laid back fun vibe.
With the weather being
pleasant we chose to sit outdoors amidst the lights and enjoyed live music in the
background.
I loved the single page
food menu and the endless beverage menu. I was non plussed when it came to my
drinks. We ordered the Moscow Mule and the frozen coconut margarita. Though
traditionally served in copper mugs, I was happy to see it served in a steel
mug keeping its close to the original way its served. The margarita was Instagram
perfect, and we both would have preferred for some more alcohol in our drinks
(lol).
For our starters we
ordered for Chicken Tenders and smoked chili wings.
Chicken tender was served
with creamy honey mustard, and served crispy.
Among the two I almost
wiped the wings clean. It was just the right amount of sticky and spicy and set
my palates rushing. The hint of pepper corns accentuated its flavors and was
served as a generous portion.
Dusted fries are a must
eat at Blacksmith. I totally loved it.
Cilantro lime slaw didn’t
agree with my Indian palate, but I loved the fact that it was served in a steel
mug.
For the mains we ordered
the BBQ Chicken - It was half a chicken!
Perfectly glazed and served with beans and slaw on the side. It was perfectly
cooked and tasted delish.
By now we felt like
stuffed turkey, but desserts are desserts. We tried their best selling Choco
Waffo experience and Golden Oreo banana pudding.
The Choco waffo experience
is two huge waffles stacked up and
served with generous amount of chocolate sauce, custard, bananas and pecans.
This is a dessert meant to be shared. It’s a Waffle dream.
The Golden Oreo pudding was
a simple dessert, but that had my full attention.
Overall, Blacksmith is a
fun place and a must visit if you are craving American food. It’s affordable,
cozy and has some super friendly staff.
Special mention to Lilian,
who made our time at Blacksmith a memorable one.
We went to Blacksmith post
a heavy brunch and couldn’t relish everything as we would have otherwise. I
would suggest you do go on a relatively empty stomach to enjoy the food.
