Manzil Downtown

Courtyard Christmas Treat

I was fortunate to spend my Christmas with my friends at Manzil Courtyard. It was a Christmas bite offer which was for 2 hours and costed AED 175 per person. A great initiative by the hotel to target the people who would like to have light meal with some good drinks for a short while before they head out for whatever engagement awaits them.

They have house beverages, spirits and cocktails free flowing for two hours. The food was made of all sharing size platters, there was cold cut varieties of beef, cheese fondue with two difference types of cheese and small bread shapes cut in square shapes. The Chicken liver pate was good, set on a nice toasted bread was delicious.

There was a selection of hot nibbles there was wild mushrooms, sausage bacon wrap abd cranberry glazed turkey balls. These were truly delicious work of art by the talented Chef Gaurav Gulati. The ingredients use and flavours were rich.

The ambiance is so fine, set in the middle aptly named the courtyard. The service is excellent, friendly staff. The price be a bit on the higher side, but you would understand, given the luxurious set up on the building, area and the customer base I would say the price is affordable for those individuals who live in this area.

Manzil has a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa and there is easy access to the main downtown area. Truly a relaxed place to enjoy some memorable times.
