But before one dives into the menu, appreciation must be given to the minimalist-decorated dining space. It’s decluttered, and the simplistic decor truly puts visitors at ease the moment they walk in. With large windows that bring in ample natural light, it also gives people sitting inside a view of the city’s brilliant skyline. With a fantastic view of the Burj Al Arab, the restaurant is truly a comfortable space where people can enjoy some good food as they leave their worries behind.
