Jaffer Bhai’s Restaurant gets top recognition from global food website

Published

on

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 1 April 2022: Popular Dubai restaurant Jaffer Bhai’s has received a badge of recommendation from Restaurant Guru, a metasearch-based restaurant and food review website that operates in around 80 countries. Popularly dubbed the “King of Biryanis”, Jafferbhai’s has remained the go-to place for a platter of Bombay-style biryani in Dubai over the years while cooking its way into becoming one of UAE’s most loved dining spots for Mughlai and Indian cuisine.

“It’s a great honour for a legacy brand like ours and it vindicates the love our patrons and our loyal customers have shown us over the decades and their faith in the biryani we make, an art that I learned from my father and a family secret that can never be copied,” said Moin Jaffer Mansuri, chef, restaurateur and the second-generation owner of Jafferbhai’s restaurant that first opened shop in Mumbai in 1973 before reaching Dubai’s shores in the eighties. Today Jafferbhai’s operates out of its flagship restaurant in Karama and a second outlet in Al Barsha, specialising in biryanis and Indi-Chinese fusion dishes.

“Hands down one of the best restaurants in Dubai serving a variety of Mughlai with mouthwatering flavours,” said Afreen Fatima, one of the several reviewers on restaurantguru.com.

“The biriyani king of Mumbai. Has a 50 year old family recipe behind it and also been winning hearts in Dubai for ages now. Amazing taste ever and I just love it. Great service and friendly staff. There are few restaurants in Dubai that always make me go back and Jaffer bhai s definitely one of them (sic),” said Nasreen, another reviewer on the website.

Mansuri says his association with the aromatic biryani ‘runs in his blood’. Mansuri’s grandfather ran a catering business in 1915 that was said to have served the ‘best biryani’ of those times. Later, Moin’s father, who lends his name to the eponymous brand, took over the business and opened a restaurant in 1973 in Mumbai. As of today, there are 10 branches in Mumbai. But Jaffer Bhai’s legacy became truly international when it crossed the Arabian Sea after that and landed straight into the hearts of Dubai’s residents who have since consistently rated it amongst the best biryani places in the country. “These accolades are a result of our years of dedicated hard work,” said Mansuri.

Dubai Safari to introduce extended hours for night safaris

Published

on

Timings at the Dubai Safari Park will be extended this winter season, allowing visitors to experience the attraction at night. Evening visitors will be able to observe changes in the animals’ behaviour as the night deepens. The park’s lions will roar more, the usually elusive pygmy hippos will be more active and the predatory instincts of carnivores primed for nocturnal hunting will intensify.

The night safari timings of 6pm to 8pm will be applicable for a limited period—from December 13 to January 12. Tickets will be sold on the park’s website starting from December 11.

The extended hours will include two night safaris led by wildlife guides. Visitors can “expect to catch” a glimpse of the night-time routines of over 90 species, “besides participating in interactive activities involving animals”, the park’s operator said. The safari will host live performances, including an African fire show and a neon display. Visitors will be able to observe and study the animals’ natural adaptations at night, which include enhanced night vision, echolocation, and a heightened sense of smell and hearing.

Ahmad Al Zarouni, director of Public Parks and Recreational Facilities at Dubai Municipality, said, “With the introduction of the unique night safari, we are excited to reveal a new perspective on the world of wildlife after dark. This experience offers a rare opportunity to explore hidden aspects of life in the wild and learn about our constant efforts to enhance animal welfare, by day and by night.”

The extended timings are being offered amid the country’s peak tourist season.

According to the Dubai Safari Park, “well-considered measures” are in place to ensure that the ecosystem and animals’ natural routines remain undisturbed during the night safaris. “Only nocturnally active species will be part of the safari experience, allowing guests to observe them in their most natural state.”

Dubai to reinstate 30% Alcohol Sales Tax in 2025

Published

on

From January 1, 2025, Dubai will reintroduce a 30% municipality tax on alcohol sales across the emirate. This tax, initially suspended at the end of 2022 as part of a trial period for 2023, was extended through 2024 before the recent announcement of its reinstatement.

What the Suspension Meant for Consumers and Businesses :

When the tax was first paused, restaurants and bars benefitted from lower procurement costs, while retailers like MMI and African+Eastern reduced their prices, allowing consumers to enjoy significant savings. However, the impact on restaurant and bar pricing was less straightforward, as some establishments passed on partial savings rather than the full 30% reduction.

With the return of the tax, prices at both retail outlets and hospitality venues are expected to increase, affecting consumers directly.

How to Apply for an Alcohol License in Dubai :

Though the UAE removed the criminal offense of consuming alcohol without a license on November 7, 2020, an alcohol license is still required for purchasing and possessing alcohol in Dubai.

The process to obtain a license is straightforward and free. Residents can apply using their Emirates ID, while tourists can use their passport. Applications can be made in-store at African+Eastern or MMI outlets or completed instantly online with staff assistance.

Prepare for changes in pricing as the reinstated tax takes effect, and ensure you have the proper license to make your purchases in compliance with Dubai’s regulations.
