The entrance is guarded by the Aladdin lamp god, the hall is built in imitation of a tent, the first thing that catches your eye when you walk into the door is a row of Arabic hookahs and handicrafts of different shapes, as far as the eye can see, the glass lanterns are bright and shining, the big red veil not only separates different areas, but also makes the atmosphere more blurry, the arch-shaped wall is painted with Middle Eastern totems, and the blank space is decorated with Arabic tapestries, which is complex and gorgeous everywhere, and the whole space is like a luxurious palace in the desert, which is the desert tour restaurant bar that focuses on Dubai cuisine.
Located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, the UAE's food culture is similar to that of other Arab countries: it loves pastries, grilled meats and chickpeas, and its meals are mostly grilled and spiced. On the other hand, due to Dubai's relatively high openness and rapid integration, many Dubai dishes can also see the shadow of Jordan, Yemen and other surrounding cuisines. Sam, the owner of Desert Safari, is a native of Dubai who has lived in Chengdu for many years, and the kitchen is still in charge of the kitchen by himself, which ensures the authenticity of the meals to a certain extent.
In Arabic, Hummus means "chickpea". Chickpeas are boiled and mashed, stirred with olive oil, white tahini sauce and then enhanced with lemon juice to create a dense and fluffy humus sauce that can be eaten with pita cakes, vegetables or grilled meats. The Spice Grilled Meat Platter is made of chicken, beef and lamb, with the lamb being crushed in a traditional Middle Eastern way and then shaped into pieces of meat, resulting in a very tender and soft mouthfeel.
Grilled with a mixture of diced beef, potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant, and a layer of crust and cheese gratin, Moussaka is one of the most contrasting dishes. Falafel, Yemeni meatloaf, and Jordanian pilaf are also very Dubai-specific, and in general, the meals of the desert tour are simple to make and basically do not play out of order, but their flavor is more unique than that of Sutan, which is not acceptable to every customer.
The service staff of the desert tour are mainly foreigners, warm and hospitable, the boss will come to each table from time to time to inquire about the taste, and there are belly dances and musical instrument performances every Friday and Saturday nights, and the dining atmosphere is even more enthusiastic at that time. The restaurant often hosts various parties, parties, markets and wedding events, so it is recommended to call the merchant to make a reservation before dining to avoid overcrowding.
