We can't deny Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights has several hidden talents. But it's time we unlock some secrets. If you are looking for Indian and Pakistani food in Dubai, then this is where you need to be. A pit stop won't suffice because you will probably end up spending a great part of your day here. At Sufra, that is predominantly a buffet restaurant, you get an international spread that is worth your weekend and money. However there is a reason why Sufra will launch an exclusive Indian buffet night on Wednesdays starting 25th of January. Chef Negi, the specialty chef crafts traditional and absolutely non-conformist ideas that will leave you begging for more. It's hard to ignore the chef's ability to create masterpieces and contemporary fusions. At some point during your meal, you start contemplating if it is too soon to plan your return. From masala chai, popularly referred to as 'kadak' in the Arab world, to masala chai ice-cream, the chef wins you over with delectable and satiable flavors. Most popular dishes are Dal Makhani (lentils with butter), Masala chicken, Paneer (tofu), Biryani, Paranthas and Gulab Jamun. Critique is no longer an ability you wish to exercise. The problem with Asian food in the Middle East is that too many people try and imitate what they find abroad and change it into a version they think works for the market. By playing with fundamentals it all gets lost in translation. The truth is, the only reason Saudis and a large Arab audience love Asian food is because of its authenticity minus the fads. The superfluous 'fine dining' tag adds no added value but instead takes away from the prize. At Sufra, they don't pretend. In fact, they will even serve you tea in a glass the way it is sold across the streets of Mumbai. Next time you are in Dubai, take a trip to Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights. Rest assured, this will admit you safely into a comfortable food coma but will also motivate you to work out harder for the rest of the week. Plan your cheat meals around this because it is totally worth it.
