5 Reasons to Eat at Tawasol

1. An all guy, down and dirty dinner binge
2. A we're incredibly hungry we can eat a couple of chickens and why not a lamb dinner
3. A back to basics caveman/woman like eating on the floor with your hands dinner
4. An eating like a king for under AED 100 dinner
5. The  option of eating your meal and passing out in the same area

  Toast Two things are an absolute MUST when eating at Tawasol:

1. Eating in the private rooms: Fitted with an authentic design, floor seating and cushions.
2. Eating with your hands: As my friend best describes it - when you eat sans the utensils there is a “chemical reaction” between the food and your hands that makes every bite taste incredible.

With the whip of the plastic sheet, our authentic Yemeni dining experience begins. Our eating area is set in a blink of an eye with what can be described as a Frisbee like (although very accurate) action of setting the plates. Our starters are green leaves, bell peppers and cucumbers accompanied by a heavenly sauce. The sauce can be compared to a type of salsa. It’s an extremely fresh and light tomato based sauce that possess a spicy undertone. There is a variety of dishes to choose from at Tawasol but I would recommend the chicken, lamb or a mix of both all served on a bed of rice. Within ten minutes of ordering, our main dishes arrive - 2 chickens and 3 lambs. My tender, juicy, golden red half chicken is so comfortably placed on a bed of rice that for a split of a second I am hesitant to disturb it. My eating experience goes something like this: With a green leaf, I pull apart a section of my tender chicken, scoop up some rise and finally dunk my cocoon of a bite into the salsa and absolutely marvel at the taste. And repeat, repeat, repeat until it’s all gone. The perfect drink to accompany your meal – definitely a 7 UP. A must have experience if you live in Dubai.
