Located at the base of the stupendous Burj Dubai, Ewaan, with it’s strategically place terrace, has one of the best urban table-side views in Dubai. An all-day dining restaurant that serves oriental and middle eastern-style cuisine, Ewaan offers both buffet and a’ la carte options, and it’s easy to imagine those visiting for lunch, extending their stay and grazing all afternoon, simply because the setting and the menu is so good. Dozens of dishes of fresh mezze tempt the fingertips, while the chef’s specialty show cooking provides a dramatic distraction from the outside view. The interior décor is lively too, with luxurious drapery and flamboyant accessories joining a rambling and eclectic collection of furniture. In fact, the general inside ambiance is one of magical ‘1001 Arabian Nights’. In true Arab style, Ewaan is all about hospitality, and caters perfectly to large, noisy groups and family gatherings. However, the private alcoves do offer a degree of intimate privacy. Signature dishes include the traditional Indian biryani and butter chicken, along with the hot and cold mezze, saj, manakish and shawarmas.
