Travel destinations: Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai is an interesting place to visit.It is an amzing place for tourists with a lot of interesting things to do and see.Dubai is known for the wonderful shopping malls and some of them are just out of this world.They are so luxurious and the whole experience is really great.

Restaurants in Dubai are quite another thing.there is every kind of restaurant here be it the hamburger and sandwich joints or the Thai restaurants or the Chinese eateries or the Indian restaurants..

There are some fantastic World class Indian restaurants in Dubai. I had the opportunity of visiting one such fabulous restaurant while i was visiting Dubai.It is owned by the famous Indian singer Asha Bhonsle ..

I thought i would share some details about this lovely restaurant here..

Asha Bhonsle is one of the most popular playback singers of the Hindi Film Industry, she is easily one of the most versatile singers ever…Her voice has mesmerised listeners for 5 generations, but according to her close friends and relatives Asha is even a better cook !…that is quite a formidable thought

Asha is a great cook and she loves to experiment with various ingrtedients.Another great passion of her is collecting recipes from friends and relatives.According to her own admission she has collected over 400 rare Indian, Mughlai, Marathi, and other recipes.She combined her interest in cooking and collecting recipes and forayed into the world of cuisine, selecting Dubai as the first venue for her restaurant chain aptly titled `Asha’s’.

The restaurant opened in 2002 at the Pyramids in Wafi City, one of Dubai’s premier shopping malls.

Interior design firm Graham Taylor has Designed the interiors of Asha’s based on the theme of fire and water. There are rich colors and mood lighting in addition to the ethnic Indian decorations….

According to Yvonne Taylor who works with Graham Taylor Designs.. ‘Everyone understands the power and importance of fire and water.’.. As we were led to the waiting area, which has a lovely seating arrangement with the walls covered with Asha’s pictures with her family and various film personalities.. there are water-filled bowls with fragrant blooms sharing space with a wall of candles.

The decor is very very pleasing without being overwhelming or gaudy.The walls and the whole interior has rich colors that exude warmth, and the whole effect is very classy.

I found the service very good.We had an individual waiter attending to our table only.The waiters are all very smart
