Feasting on Ethiopian doro wat and injera with Sara Aradi at her restaurant in Dubai, Al Habasha.

Visiting Al Habasha Restaurant

If you'd like to visit Al Habasha, we recommend the Hor Al Anz branch (GPS link). Here's the website if you'd like to check out the other branches. We also love their misir (lentils), atar (peas), key wot (lamb stew), kara mara tibs (lamb or beef with onions and tomatoes, a more dry-style preparation which somewhat resembles jerky). Make sure to order aib (homemade curd cheese) which cools your palate after the hot and sour flavours of the stews. Ambo is an Ethiopian-style soda - highly recommend the lemon-lime flavour!

And if you'd like to try preparing doro wat or other Ethiopian stews at home, you may buy Sara's berbere spice mix at the restaurant.

A chat with the man who is kindling Londoner's love for age-old Iraqi cuisine - Philip Juma, the founder and head chef of Juma Kitchen.

About Philip Juma and Juma Kitchen

In 2012, Philip Juma founded Juma Kitchen in London to showcase his Iraqi culinary heritage to fellow Londoners. His goal was to change the way Iraq was perceived - not through the single narrative of negative political images, but through its flavourful, rich and ancient food culture. Years down the line, Juma Kitchen has earned an incredible reputation for many successful Iraqi culinary pop-up events and Philip Juma has won over many tastebuds with his dolma, masgouf, kibbeh and host of other painstaking, but superbly flavoursome Iraqi dishes.

Philip recently visited Dubai in May 2018; we met over lunch and then sat down to chat about Juma Kitchen, his love for Iraqi food and his plans for bringing the pop-up to Dubai.

Read more about Philip Juma and Juma Kitchen on his website, www.jumakitchen.com and follow him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @jumakitchen.

The second part of a two-part series uncovering Fujairah's first-ever oyster farming operation, Dibba Bay Oysters, along with an exquisite smoked oyster tasting at the Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort. 

Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort

The Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort is a luxury beach resort set along the coast of Dibba and against the backdrop of the majestic Hajjar mountains. We were invited for an "ocean to plate" tour, that included tasting local fish and oysters at the hotel's dedicated seafood concept, The Copper Lobster under Chef Georgiy Danilov, and then with a visit to the Dibba Bay Oyster farm which supplies the restaurant with the region's only locally farmed oysters.

A special thanks to Joanna Huang and Marwa al Omami who invited us to the Fairmont. And an extra special shout out to Marwa who spent two days sharing her knowledge and passion for Dibba with us. It was truly one of the most memorable trips we have had in the country.

Dibba Bay Oysters

Ramie Murray commercialized the first ever local oyster farming operation in Dibba, Fujairah at the start of 2018, after years of testing and fine tuning the concept. He currently supplies to a handful of restaurants in Dubai, including the Maine Oyster Bar and Grill, Galvin, Boca, Galleries Lafayette, Hapi, Crab Market, STK and Sean Connolly. At the time of this podcast, there was also a farm shop in the works for Dubai customers at the Um Suqeim harbour. Read more about Ramie's oyster farm here and follow him on Instagram here.
