Azur knows its food

Impress and enjoy a slice of Arab hospitality

Azur means blue. But that’s the last colour you will be feeling after you’ve tried the restaurant’s carefully thought-out iftar fare at Raffles Dubai at Wafi.

It is the kind of place you would take family and friends to: to impress them, enjoy time with them, and experi- ence a slice of Arab hospitality.

En route to the salad station, I decided I’d skip a drink to leave room for dessert. “Think again” said the tropical delight as it lured me to drink into the green apple, coconut cream and passion fruit concoction.

Other favourites include the fresh fatayers, traditional fateh, pasta Bolognaise, laban with ginger and the oriental rice pudding from the dessert station.
