Now for the ones living in the amazing Dubai, things are a bit different. Not only the <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etihadmall.ae\/en\/dine\/\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">restaurants in Dubai<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"><b>, UAE<\/b> are known for their hygiene but there is no other place on this green earth that offers the world in their respective menus, which is why an expat does not feel like an expat here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #5a5a5a\">Pro Tip \u2013 It\u2019s a good idea to search and read restaurant reviews on Google or any other food ordering website before visiting in person. For instance, if you plan to visit \u2018Al Khawaneej or <i>Mirdif<\/i> in particular<\/span>,<span style=\"color: #5a5a5a\"> you can enter the specific location and then search for restaurants or <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etihadmall.ae\/en\/dine-category\/cafe\/\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">caf\u00e9 shop<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #5a5a5a\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">Although the restaurant standards are carefully monitored by the competent authorities here, we will still go ahead and mention some visible signs that prove you are dining at a good place:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;text-align: justify;color: #000000;font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400\"><i>Cleanliness<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">This is so obvious people! As the saying goes, the first impression is the last impression; if a restaurant is visibly clean, we automatically tend to feel comfortable in that environment, after which comes the menu and of course the taste of their food. Cleanliness of a restaurant represents the attention to detail the management deploys in their efforts and services. A clean restaurant premise depicts a clean restaurant kitchen in which the mouthwatering food is prepared. On the other hand, nobody prefers to cough out big money on a place that has a dirty bathroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;text-align: justify;color: #000000;font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400\"><i>Quick Service <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">Quick service is a quality that separated \u2018best\u2019 from the \u2018good ones\u2019! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">One of the most irritating things to happen to anyone who came to have a good time is when he or she gets to play the \u2018waiting\u2019 game. To make things more justified, servers are actually busy people, but the best restaurant will offer you a seat as per the server\u2019s availability. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00b7<span style=\"font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';margin: 0px\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">If it\u2019s on the Menu, it\u2019s on your plate<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">The feeling of defeat when you order your favourite spring seasoned asparagus and all you get is a \u2018sorry, we\u2019re out of asparagus\u2019 response. If they have mentioned some delicacy in the menu then the same should be available for your taste buds to devour as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;text-align: justify;color: #000000;font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400\"><i>Sound Proofing <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">There are many intricate aspects that are involved in designing a restaurant and one of them is \u2018Sound Design\u2019. To support the acoustics, some even spend money on the soundproofing as well. Of course, when you are discussing your plans for the long weekend, you don\u2019t want to listen to anybody else\u2019s complain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;text-align: justify;color: #000000;font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400\"><i>Authentic Servers <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Who doesn\u2019t like a knowledgeable server? It\u2019s obvious that one cannot know everything about all the dishes present in a specific menu. A good restaurant not only trains their servers with what goes into the dishes but <\/span>also <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">allow them to taste the dishes so that they can exactly explain to the guests what they can expect after they order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">To give you a hint about a good restaurant \u2013 ask the server about any dish or his\/her personal recommendation, they won\u2019t even take a peek at the menu to explain things to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;text-align: justify;color: #000000;font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';font-size: 11pt;font-style: italic;font-weight: 400\"><i>Something for the Kids <\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">What if the junior is not interested in your weekend dinner saga? A good restaurant will offer a play area for your little ones to be themselves, which for a moment will allow you to breathe in peace while enjoying some quality food. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">A restaurant without a <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/etihadmall.ae\/en\/entertainment\/\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">kids play area<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000\"> is not bad, but hey\u2026 something extra won\u2019t hurt!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00b7<span style=\"font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';margin: 0px\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Accept every form of payment <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">We may be en route digitization, but there are some really good restaurants that do not accept cards.
