Pergolas | 7 Fusion Brunch



Pergolas is Al Murooj Rotana‘s casual all-day-dining concept that is located near the main lobby of the hotel.


Al Murooj Rotana is a beautiful property that houses some great dining options and Pergolas is one of them. Pergolas means a garden feature forming a shaded walkway or a passageway, something like a gazebo. It is derived from the Latin word Pergula. And true to its name, Pergolas offers a shaded terrace area overlooking the Al Murooj complex.

The 7 fusion brunch is an amazing concept with 7 destinations. 7 stations and 7 fusion wonders! From British, tex-mex, Indian, sea food, Arabic, salads and an array of desserts. One was spoilt for choice between all the stations, but it stays true to Roda standards of amazing quality and service.




































There were live grill stations which had prawns, fish, steak and chicken. There were many options for salads and appetizers as well. Loved the lamb oozi in Arabic station, chicken biryani from the Indian. fresh fish and chips from the British station.


The dessert section was endless– from cheesecakes to tarts, from kunafas to rasmalai – you name it, they had it. It was a delight to the eye’s and the palate.


















The Brunch packages are as follows -  Non Alcohol (AED 249), Regular alcohol (AED 349) , Premium alcohol (AED 449), Champagne package (AED 649).




The bustling ambiance combined with amazing music was definitely the way a Friday brunch should be. What I love is the spacing at pergolas, though they seem close - it offers its patrons privacy and comfort.

The staff at Roda are exceptional in terms of service and ensuring that you are looked after really well. Special mention to Sheryl who I always look forward to meeting.

The outdoor terrace offers perfect alfresco dining option during winter months. It is a family friendly restaurant. 

Overall, I had an amazing experience. I loved the variety of food that was offered in the brunch. Pergolas has one of the most interactive and helpful chefs I’ve seen in Dubai. And not to forget the efficient and flawless service that made my brunch truly enjoyable.

Eshak

Eshak is located in Al Mustaqbal Street, Citywalk 2. It is operated by Bulldozer Group Worldwide, one of the best-respected names in global hospitality, representing its first foray into casual dining.



Eshak is a colourfully vibrant place that serves a ‘Choyhana’ experience which essentially is a fusion of Middle Eastern, Uzbek, Armenian, European, Georgian and Caucasian food.It draws inspiration from the rich culture of the Silk Route, marked with homely touches & generous portions.
The interior of Eshak has a mystical charm to it with a combination of gold and dark hues of purple with paintings that looked like warrior princesses and magic carpets from another realm. The restaurant is quite big, it has both indoor and outdoor seating area and has a huge bar and kitchen area.


















We chose to sit inside. However, the ouside area looked very tempting and beautiful with floral sofas. As you enter you will notice a row of baskets of dry fruits and spices which gave a good vibe to the entire restaurant with a view of Burj Khalifa.


We tried the Hummus with meat, Muhamara, Eggplant salad, Black mantas, Chicken pie , Shashlik Kebab and for drinks we had the berry lemonade and mint lemonade. I loved the cutlery as well, very rustic and felt like home.



Hummus with meat – I loved how thick the hummus was and the combination with the meat along with warm fresh bread was saporous.


Muhamara – My first Muhamara experience and I can’t wait to have more. The moreish combination of chilli paste, bread crumbs, walnuts and olive oil was absolutely delish.



Eggplant salad – I loved eggplant, but I never imagined in my wildest dream that I would be so hooked onto the salad. It was exciting o my palate and I almost licked the plate clean.  If you don’t have this at Eshak, you are surely missing out on an amazing experience.  Crispy aubergine tossed with coriander, sesame seeds, and doused is sweet tart dressing – yummm.

Black Mantas reminded me of Khinkhali. It was stuffed with prawns and was so succulent and delish.  In combination with yogurt it was just perfect. I loved it. This is definitely a must have.



We were already full by now, but the chicken pie was irresistible.  It was perfectly baked and savory. The pie was generously stuffed with chicken, cheese, and mushroom and was topped with cherry tomatoes and rocket leaves.

Shashlik Kebab was a saporous dish of beef, served with yogurt and mixed vegetables.

For drinks try the Blackberry mojito which was served with fresh blackberries. It’s definitely a summer saver. We also tried green lemonade which was refreshing.

The service was a hit and miss. However, the food was flavorful and delish. I would definitely be back for the food.

Eshak straddles the thin line between laidback dinner and upmarket dining, while retaining a casual ambience with a  wallet-friendly menu.If you are looking for a dining experience that is simple, colourful and flavourful then Eshak is definitely the place to go.
