Jumeirah Beach Hotel gets an Indian restaurant
Lovers of Indian food in fancy settings can check out Naya, the new north Indian restaurant at the five-star hotel by the beach. Another good reason to visit? They’ve knocked 25 per cent off the bill until April 15 to mark the opening. Despite the high-end surroundings, there are white tablecloths at this rustic and family-friendly spot, which has chef Pravish Shetty in the kitchen. Dishes include samosas (prawn and Punjabi), chaats, kebabs and barbecue dishes, Bengali seafood and fish dishes and biryanis; call 04-3665866.

Sanjeev Kapoor does molecular
The Indian TV chef’s Signature restaurant at the Melia Dubai is launching a new menu of desserts and beverages using modern techniques and tools such as liquid nitrogen, starting today.
