We are in the process of redesigning the Time Out Dubai site. We want to give you more reviews, more ideas and more ways to enjoy Dubai. We’ve got loads of ideas for how we can do things better. But we also want to get your input as well.

We would really appreciate your comments on what you think would make the site better. It might be something really simple – like the colour of our headlines, or a really far-fetched wish – like the ability to browse menus and book a table in a restaurant.

Either way we are listening.

Please leave your comments below and please continue to use Time Out Dubai.

What age is meant by Senior traveller on the metro? Do you need to show identification? Is it the same on the buses?

Hello,

Ages ago in Time Out I saw a note saying to "watch this space" for news on Blue Banana refunds. I have not been able to find anything in the magazine or in your website. Are you able to assist?

Thanks

Chloe

Please update your website. Barbecue Delights has another branch in JBR The Walk near Hilton Jumeirah, Dubai.

more of a query this but when you give your restaurant prices what's the basis? per person? meal for two? with/without booze?

Dear Editor,

Just wanted to bring to your notice that the Biella restaurant Cafe which you have mentioned in your list of Italian Restaurants is not only a Vegetarian Cafe, they also serve Non-vegeterian Food.

Thank you,

Regards,

Rohan

You guys need to check out Yanshuang Chinese Restaurant which specializes in CHinese HOT POT Shabu Shabu - one of the best joints to enjoy great chinese hot pot. There're just right next to Radisson Deira - opp the creek on Baniyas Road. My husband and I drive all the way from Dubai Marina just because of their hot pot speciliaty. The restaurant is always packed with filipinos, chinese and a few western expat and I wonder why they aren't listed on Time Out yet - imagine your typical Ravi restaurant, well this is the Chinese version.

Cheers

Put more on your calendar than happy hours, dinner deals and DJs. The flea market is on this Friday, why isn't that on there? When I check the calendar I am looking for new/different things to do, not see the same old happy hours, brunch deals and DJs as always.

STOP!!! MESSAGE TO ALL BUSY Ladies EVERYWHERE... I 've just discovered the most authentic Moroccan style massage which will not only relax and invigorate you but ALL your dead skin cells won't stand a chance against beautician 'Niamh'. Its the ' DESIRE BEAUTY SALON' 04 430 8770.
After the actual exfoliation you get a 30 min massage which was a perfect way to end it off.
I'm a very busy mum of two so my 'me time' is very preciously spent. I was there for 2.5 hours and I don't know where the time went.
As you enter the spa the staff are very friendly and its a chilled laid back vibe environment.
I just feel I've discovered a real gem in Dubai Marina and believe me I've been to alot of spa's the world round and you guys living out there can really enjoy.

Hi,
I was wondering whom to contact to offer my services as a professional food critic. I have been a foodservice trainer and trader for the passt 10 years.
I have a serious question as to how your staff conclude whether a restaurant is good or bad. Is it based solely on flavour, ambiance, etc or has some thought gone into the quality of the ingredients.
I can offer a more broader scope with an intent to raise Dubai's dining standards.
Kind regards
Halaal

Argh! Even posting feedback was a nightmare, what have you done, that bl**dy Jeep advert everytime i click a new page, i wouldn't buy one now as the dam thing has done nothing but wind me up, not great brand placement for time-out or the client. As for the site i will go elsewhere when choosing my next place to dine out, there are to many pop ups, you are ruining your site.

Sorry

Regarding your poll for best live acts, I must bring the resident Philipino rock band at Seaview Hotel Mariners Club to your attention- can't recall their stage name. When it comes to heavy rock or soft rock, this band is the best you will hear.
The "rock chick" who normally plays a mean bass guitar is also an astounding lead guitarist and drummer and sings with a passion and quality second to none. I dread to think what Simon Cowell would make of this girl.

The lead guitarist and keyboard players have skills rarely seen in even the top bands. This nine!!! piece band need to be seen and heard to be believed just how good they are.
Put them in your list

I thank you

Hello, I ordered flowers from Upscale and Posh for wife's birthday and their bouquet was terrible. Cheap carnations added as a substitute without notifying me and very rude service. Do not recommed them at all. Such a shame that in the present climate people still don't understand the value of customer service.

We had dinner in Asado on Friday night and I have to say I thought the food was terrific.
I had an empanada as a starter which was so good I thought I was back in Argentina! My husband had pumpkin soup which was equally delicious.
We then both had the speciality of the restaurant which was goat. What a treat, it was absolutely fabulous, cooked to perfection and really tender. However, take note, it is a massive portion and my husband regretted having had a starter. I couldn't finish mine and asked for a doggy bag, including the bones for our dog. This was provided without any problem.
One major criticism though: the wine list is horrendously expensive, and we felt that the restaurant should provide even a couple of wines at the middle/lower range of the spectrum. It is already an expensive restaurant and the main courses come with no trimmings, so you have to order side dishes if you want any vegetables and these are at the other end of the scale being absolutely minuscule.
However, if you are prepared to have an expensive meal this is a superb restaurant, wonderful setting overlooking the Burj, very attentive service with experienced staff and delicious food.

Hi...
I was browsing the restaurant reviews for the restaurants in karama, and i was surprised to not find Winny's Restaurant(opp. karama fish market), its been around for 2 years i think( or maybe more...not sure) Its got the best sizzlers i've ever tasted. A lot of people already know about its sizzlers, but i think it'll be worth a mention in the site.

thank you :)

Hi .....
Just quickly, only been in Dubai for the last 6 mths !!
Wondering if TIME OUT mag ever covered stories on where you can by Gluten free products/food & which restaurants have a gluten free menu?? / Gluten free friendly restaurants??
I'm finding it very hard to eat out, it seems that restaurants have no idea what I'm talking about.
If this store had been covered in the passed, could I please have a cope of the report.
If not, it may be a great idea if a artical on Cecliac/ gluten free diet was written it will defenatly help & at the same time educate people in Dubai what its all about.

Thank you
