Kushi by Reif
03
All hail, Kushi by Reif. This Asian bolthole’s delightful donburi bowls are your best bet in the market. Fish, meat and vegetables are simmered together and served over Japanese style rice. It’s the comfort food you never knew you were missing. Save space for a slice of homemade sesame cheesecake, which is out-of-this-world.

The mini Mythos counter is no trip to Greece, but it still offers a solid take on the everpopular souvlaki. Your best bets are the chicken souvlaki wrap with tzatziki, tomato and onion, or the bowl version with added baked potatoes. The spanakopita, a thin and flaky traditional spinach pie with feta, is also a great dish to take home.

05 Kilikio by Mythos Salmontini
At Depachika, there are two parts to this brand, the Salmontini counter, which offers a range of salmon and caviar that you can take home. Think exquisite orange and beetroot marinated gravadlax and misomarinated salmon. Next to it, there’s the larger Salmontini Sushi Bar, with a dine-in option for you to enjoy fresh sashimi, nigiri, maki and more.

06 The Climbing Goat Roastery
For some people the best cup of coffee is whatever’s currently in their hand, but then there are those for whom coffee is less of an alarm clock and more of a poetic experience. The Climbing
Goat Roastery is very much the latter. The roastery takes a prime oval spot in the middle of the food hall, with its enormous racing green coffee roasting machine down stage. Coffee drinkers relax on bar stools as baristas go to town creating delicate brews.

A stalwart on the café scene of Dubai, Lime Tree takes up prime position at the front of the food hall. Pop in for a slice of its famous carrot cake.
08 Lime Tree Café The Cheeseroom
No great food hall is complete without a dedicated cheese place, and The Cheeseroom, tucked away in the back of the hall, certainly delivers. A closed-off dimly-lit space, The Cheesroom sells fine options from all over the world alongside a selection of cold cuts. Come in for a taste, or order a meat and cheese platter to take home.
