The One about Maria Bonita's Taco Shop
Best thing about writing a food blog is now I have a legitimate excuse to go on regular dining excursions with my favourite foodies! This Saturday, my dover sole mates Haif and Safa, picked Maria Bonita’s Taco Shop for a Mexican mustache bash!

The one about Grand Central
Grand Central,for those of you who haven’t discovered it yet, is a burger joint serving Beef, Chicken and Veggie burgers/mini burgers.

The one about Abu Dhabi's hidden gem
Zahrat Al Mada’en is truly a hidden gem in the Tourist Club Area of Abu Dhabi.
Not a place to dine in ..
Go there for:
1. The Kibbeh Mashwiyeh
2. ”Abdo” - an Indian with a ridiculously good Syrian accent
3. The Qaddafi look-a-like who owns the place
