Coco's

Big portions of a wide variety of cuisines at reasonable prices Discuss this article

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

Let’s be frank. A venue like Coco’s is never going to move culinary mountains. The best you can hope for is that you get what you pay for with no nasty surprises. That’s fine if you want a quick bite mid-shop or before visiting the cinema.

You probably won’t want to be too concerned about calorie counting either, because the portions are more than plentiful. The spinach and artichoke dip starter, which comes in a bread bowl with a giant handful of nachos, is salty, rich and with enough vegetable chunks to almost create an illusion of healthy eating.

The broccoli soup is also impressive, as are the perfectly pitched make-your-own fajitas. Unfortunately, the burgers have been rather average in our experience – the Hawaiian burger, although tightly packed, is lacking in taste.

The southern-style fried chicken salad is another disappointment, too top-heavy in wet lettuce and lacking in dressing. But in general, this is a fairly safe bet for a quick bite.
