Manvaar
Excellent mid-priced Rajasthani food in Karama 9 Reviews
From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009
Manvaar isn’t good… it’s amazing. The restaurant is a dark, intimate room, plastered in intricately embroidered linens. It speacialises in Rajasthani food – a region of Indian cuisine that is underrepresented, even in Karama, which boasts a curry shop on every block.
Poppadums are the only starter available, but you won’t mind, as the crispy flatbreads and a plate of lightly dressed bean sprouts are more than enough. The menu challenges you to take risks, and you should, as each new flavour proves a revelation.
Even the thandai, a peppery yoghurt drink that managed to cool the palate while firing it up, betrays a higher level of sophistication in the kitchen. You will become culinary philanderers as so many unique and beautiful curries are set before you.
Say your goodbyes with churma, a warm, caramelised dessert that tastes of England – a cross between bread and butter pudding and mashed up digestive biscuits and tea. A meal at Manvaar is beyond successful and more than affordable. Be sure to take your leftovers home as you will want to enjoy the tastes again and again.
