Assymetri

Radisson Blu’s popular all day diner is hosting a grand iftar buffet throughout the Holy Month, featuring regional and international culinary flair. Diners have the option of enjoying their fast-breaking meal in the restaurant’s climate-controlled interiors or making the most of balmy April evenings with seats out on the terrace. And the evening doesn’t have to end there, a selection of premium shisha is available to accompany those deep and meaningful alfresco conversations. In addition to the in-house offering, those seeking a more private experience can pick up iftar takeaway boxes from just Dhs35 per person, and there’s even a grand ouzi takeaway, with authentically prepared ‘fall-off-the-bone’ tender lamb joints for Dhs499 (feeds six people).
