Lunch with Marina View on sunny afternoon in Dubai

Zafran Indian Bistro located at Ground Floor of Dubai Marina Mall in Dubai, is an award-winning Contemporary Indian restaurant which offers North-Western Indian cuisine.  “Zafran”  is an Urdu word which translates into “Saffron” a most expensive, highly aromatic spice which is used in flavoring and coloring of food.  In this article, I am giving reviews of Zafran Indian Bistro – Lunch with a View. 

Zafran Indian Bistro is located on water promenades of Dubai Marina Mall with magnificent views of Dubai Marina.   Dubai Marina Mall can be easily accessed by Tram, Metros & taxis, and Hop-On-Hop-Off tourist buses.  This restaurant is famous for special authentic flavored Kebabs, Signature desserts, and healthy fruit mojitos and juices.  All the dishes of this restaurant are having flavors of Zafran(Saffron). 

AMBIANCE / DÉCOR OF ZAFRAN INDIAN BISTRO – The sleek, stylish, contemporary interior of Zafran with a great view of Dubai Marina is a great place to eat out with skyline view.  Black walls with bright orange and turqoise blue seatings make the place bright and stylish.  There are all types of seating arrangements like dining chairs and sofas both.  Bright colored contemporary lamps add more romance to this place.

Main Course – Being Vegetarian, I ordered Paneer Butter Masala(Cottage cheese in Tomato gravy), Bhindi Masala(Okra with Indian spices), Dal Zafran(Black Lentils gravy) and Cucumber Raita(cucumber yogurt).  In Bread and Rice section, I ordered Garlic Naan and jeera rice.  The flavors of curries are highly balanced – nor too hot nor too bland.  Naan size is enough big and also the serving portions of curries are good enough. We were  four adults and the size of servings were well enough for four of us.

The Amazing Punta Banda Peninsula in Ensenada

If you visit the port city of Ensenada, chances are you are going to be offered a tour to La Bufadora, a famous blowhole located on the Punta Banda Peninsula. For many, La Bufadora has become one of Ensenada’s top attractions.  As a consequence, it is a bit difficult to take off the entire area out of the “tourist trap” list. However, I believe Punta Banda is worth well a visit due to its natural, rugged beauty.  You can find cliff vistas, sea stacks, and small coves.  On a sunny day, the place is just gorgeous. On this article, I want to cover the area from the touristic and non-touristic perspectives.  I’ll let you choose how you want to visit. About Punta Banda Ensenada is located in the Todos Santos (All Saints) Bay.  The southern portion of the bay is delineated by the Punta Banda Peninsula, a finger-like strip of land. Almost at the tip of the peninsula (at the end of the paved road), you are going to find La Bufadora, a feature described as a marine geyser or tidewater bl...

Looking for things to do in Nuremberg, Germany? This list has you covered with everything from the touristy musts to quirkier offbeat finds. Enjoy! I’ll be real: Nuremberg is a place that’s   easy to fall for. This world-famous city, located in the north of Bavaria, is every bit the fairytale dream so often linked to  Deutschland : candy cane half-timbered facades, an epic castle on a hill, dangerously munchable gingerbread, and a glittering Christmas market to boot. But as with most amazing cities, the true magic of Nuremberg comes from its dynamic layers. Lurking beneath those photogenic facades is a dark past intertwined with war, genocide, and centuries of tumultuous history. It is precisely this duality that makes Nuremberg one of the most fascinating cities to visit in Germany, and one that you can keep visiting again and again. So, what is there to do in Nuremberg? It turns out, plenty of things. Below you’ll find a roundup of my favourite things to do in ...

How to do the Kjerag hike, Norway

Planning to do the Kjerag hike and take one of the most incredible pics of your life? You’re on the right page.  Kjerag (the mountain) and Kjeragbolten (the boulder) has became very popular over recent years, especially because of social media, and nowadays thousands of Instagrammers from all over the world come to do the Kjerag hike and get the daredevil no-photoshopped picture. On the top of Kjeragbolten, Norway. After spending one and half day in Olso in the beginning of August of 2015, I took a flight to Stavanger. There are plenty of flights from Oslo to Stavanger, and prices can be as low as 25.00 euros. As I was by myself and not planing to rent a car, I opted for this city as a start point to my hikes in Norway because during the high season there is a bus from Stavanger to Kjerag (Øygardstøl). After a 50min flight, a bus from the airport to Stavanger’s terminal, and a 15min walk I arrived at the hotel. I just checked-in, drooped off my stuff and went to explore ...
