RANG MAHAL BY ATUL KOCHHAR, JW MARRIOTT MARQUIS

It’s not just the huge carved wooden pillars or the pleasant orange lighting that will leave you slack-jawed at this Indian fine dining restaurant. The fabulous menu too will leave you wide-eyed and eager to tuck into the exciting mix of regional favourites and traditional Indian must-haves, which are the highlight for iftar and suhoor during Ramadan.

While celebrity chef Atul Kochhar’s stylish eatery has already made its mark on the culinary landscape of Dubai, the menu has been given a twist for this month. Classic Indian dishes such as lamb shorba, and dal bukhari, and a mouth-watering mixed grill platter, among others, are part of 11 special dishes that feature on the special iftar menu available alongside a là carte dishes.

With impeccable service and a pleasant staff on hand to explain the menu, there are few better places across the city to enjoying a relaxing meal.
