Restaurants

Khazana, Al Nasr Leisureland area, Dubai (T:+971 4 336 0061, E: Cyclonic@emirates.net.ae). Very good Indian restaurant backed by a famous Indian chef Sanjeev Kapoor. The restaurant is very light and airy with a garden feel to it. The dishes all served impeccably and great taste with a full and varied meny to choose from. Well recommended. (last upd: Jan 2005)
Fishmarket, Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai. Excellent fish restaurant where you choose your own fish which is then cooked to order.
Automatic, chain. Very good Lebanese quick stop restaurant all over Dubai

Intercontinental Hotel, Deira, Dubai. old favourite but Dubai has changed and while still a very comfy and nice hotel, its just too far from where everything is happening.
Emirates Towers
