Review: Ashiana Restaurant at Sheraton Dubai Creek

The new façade of Asiana has an attractive appearance, like the outside of an Indian villa. Once inside, the sense of a residential, but utterly grand, venue continues, with traditional Indian murals, delicate-looking chandeliers and intimate booths. Service is friendly and obliging, with waiters quick to jump to your assistance if they get the slightest hint. This restaurant isn’t about the same quality of exciting food or elegant setting as Vineet’s other concept, Indego.

With highly-trained staff providing engaging table service and personalized attention, the friendly and efficient ambience is ideal for all occasions like family gatherings, a business meet, or just an intimate dinner for two. The setting is contemporary, authentic and inviting, allowing guests to enjoy the experience and create their own special moments.

Fine Indian restaurant Ashiana is a favourite of Dubai’s high-end scene. The kitchen is run by Michelin-star chef Vineet Bhatia, widely considered one of the Indian culinary world’s brightest stars. His menu of contemporary Indian fare is pitch-perfect, blending familiar flavours in entirely unique ways. Every meal is truly finger-licking good.

Befitting divine dishes like the Junglee Tandoori — tandoori smoked guinea fowl served with slow-cooked black lentils and wok-tossed bok choy — the décor is also a work of art, with intricate wooden latticework screens, beautiful paintings, and hand-hammered chandeliers.

Bursting with authentic flavours, each meal at the restaurant is perfectly complimented with a wide range of signature drinks and desserts with their own distinctive Zafran flavor.
