With Dubai being a hub for so many restaurants and different cuisines, my aim is to atleast try 2 new restaurants every weekend. So in this journey of finding new places to try, I happened to come across Simi's in one of the relatively quiter lanes of Karama albeit close to central Karama. We went there on a Saturday afternoon, found parking easily. The restaurant was not crowded and we were immediately seated at our table.
What immediately struck me about the place was that it was kept so neat and clean with good interiors. The red white and goldenish interiors gave a very nice bright look to the place coupled with beautiful ethnic wall hangings. It had a very modern North Indian feel to it.
Coming to the food, we ordered salted lassi, aloo methi, daal tadka with dhaniya parathas, also non-veg thali. Salted lassi was heavenly, especially since the weather is scorching hot outside right now. Daal Tadka was great, 10/10. Aloo methi (potatoes cooked with fenugreek leaves) wasnt as per my expectation, it definitely tasted good but had very little methi in it. When we make it at home in typical Northie style, there's plenty of methi in the dish. Coming to the thali, here again every dish tasted very good but I would expect a thali to have atleast 1 dry sabzi. What was in this thali was daal makhni, paneer tikka masala, boneless chicken curry and raita. So basically all heavy on stomach gravy dishes. I am hoping the management takes out one of the veggie gravy dishes and instead includes a dry one. The dhaniya pranthas were also nice and yummy. At the end of the thali, we were greeted with hot gulab jamun which was really yummy so we ended up ordering another plate of the same.
All in all the food was definetly yummy, just few alterations required on the content.
