CHIC Eats

Four Seasons itself. The Oriental Mixed Grill was unique and toyed with our taste buds. It drew us away from the Persian spicing of other dishes and was ludicrously tender and juicy. The Hamour Harra was unique and subtly spiced so that the delicate fish was not overpowered. Ultimately choosing which of the main courses was the most delicious was a little bit like being asked to choose your favourite child; each had their own special qualities. Shish Taouk and Kofta provided a sense of familiarity along with fruity Moroccan Lamb Tagine which could have been cut with a spoon. The Chicken Biryani and Assorted Mahashi were expertly constructed and added vibrancy to our feast. The richly creamy Lasagna Bolognese was an unexpected but much welcomed addition to the menu. Satisfying and authentically Mediterranean. We even enjoyed some of these mains the following day by heating them in the oven, as opposed to the microwave so as not to hinder the taste, and they were fabulous.

The Hot and Cold Mezze proves to be the perfect starting point once the time comes to break fast or ‘fatoor’. The cold mezze included staples such as Tabouleh, Fattoush, Vine Leaves and Hummus which were accompanied with warm, fresh, pillowy Arabic Bread and sumptuously sweet Bahraini dates. The Muttabal and Potato Harra showcased the skill of the team of chefs with their seasoning techniques. The elevation of such simplistic dishes provided new realms of taste in a way that made the quality of the ingredients truly shine. The Lentil Soup was hearty and comforting. The Punjabi Samosa had layers of flavour providing pleasant heat spice-wise as well as being the perfect temperature to devour upon arrival. Cheese Rolls, Kebbeh and Spinach Fatayer were balanced and offered the perfect balance for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Perfect for a larger family gathering where diners have varying palates and persuasions. The main courses included in this set menu were equally show stopping. There was no scrimping on quality of ingredients, presentation or technique. Each dish was fit to be served in any one of the dining establishments within the

The Executive Pastry chef has surpassed himself in terms of the assortment of delectable, dainty desserts which draw this takeaway Iftar meal to a close. Tiramisu, Crème Caramel and Blueberry Cheesecake garnished with golden dusted fruits represented the finest quality and expertise. The Chocolate Crunchy Cake would have to be my personal showstopper though as I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic and the balance of the cacao was executed to perfection. Travelling East for the more traditional Katayef Cream, Mahalabiya and Um Ali with sensational syrups and actual rose water amplified these Arabic staples. All were executed to the highest of standards and with signature staging such as flourishes of gold leaf. Make your dream a reality for you and your family and place your order now for an unforgettable culinary experience. Ramadan Kareem!
