Craving Pasta? Get Your Fix At Casa Della Pasta
There’s something super comforting about a good bowl of pasta and the guys at Casa Della Pasta get it right, every time. The way things work is super simple too – pick your pasta, choose your toppings, then watch as the chefs do their thing right in front of your eyes. And it gets even more interesting too. Here, you can also take some uncooked pasta home and try your own fun and creative recipes. (But no pressure, though, Casa Dela Pasta have set the bar pretty high).

Not Just Another Burger Joint – It’s Sal’s Burger Kitchen
Dubai has a lot of burger joints out there, (I won’t sit here and name and shame any of them) but we all know they don’t do it the way Sal’s Burger Kitchen does. Their patties are made with proper Black Angus beef, the kind that’s juicy and full of flavour without being drowned by the sauce. Everything else, from the buns, to the sauces, and (of course) toppings are made fresh and with care. And not let’s talk vibes, because Sal’s Burger Kitchen has got it down to a T! Think retro diner meets a chill hangout spot. This place is perfect for when you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a full blown burger-fries-and-drink situation.
And since you guys are my favourites, I’ll let you in on some of Sal’s Burger Kitchens best combos! First up is the classic ‘Sal’s Burger Combo’, where you get your burger with a side and a drink. And best of all is their ‘Breakfast Burger Combo’, where your burger comes with a fried egg, beef bacon, cheddar, hollandaise sauce, plus a hashbrown and juice. It’s a cheat meal without the guilt!

Sushi Done The Right Way At Sal’s Sushi Bar
Even if you’re not a sushi expert, Sal’s Sushi Bar makes it super easy to enjoy these seafood delicacies. It’s casual, friendly, and not the kind of place where you need to know Japanese just to order. And guess what? They use salmon from Le Fumoir by Joe Bassili. So, it’s safe to say your fish is definitely fresh. And it shows, especially in their fan favourite dishes like their Spicy Crispy Salmon.
Here are some can’t miss deals that Sal’s Sushi Bar has going on during the week. Wednesdays are Open Sushi Night, where you can enjoy unlimited sushi for AED 195. So, don’t worry about the bill, just keep the orders coming until you tap out. And next up we have their Business Lunch offer that’s available everyday from Sunday to Friday, 12-5pm. Enjoy a neat combo of nigiri, maki, and spicy salmon or tuna for just AED 95. Quick, simple, tasty. That’s the Sa’s Sushi Bar way!
