Lonely Planet review

For a respite from Dubai's chaotic street scene, seek out this hidden gallery-cum-café in the courtyard of a 120-year-old house in the Bastakia Quarter. The all-veg cooking lists a mishmash of salads and grain-based dishes with vaguely Southeast Asian overtones. We especially like the mojardara (rice topped with sautéed veggies and yogurt) and the dense-green mint-lemonade - a must-order.
