Restaurant Review: At Qwerty, business meets comfort food
Tucked away in Media One Hotel, Qwerty is one of those spots that effortlessly blends business-lunch formality with after-hours unwinding. It's got that classic British business hub feel, but with a menu that leans into comfort food with a global twist. The Food Miso Ramen – A solid attempt at a Japanese classic. The beef short rib was fall-off-the-bone tender, soaking up the umami-packed dashi broth. The shimeji mushrooms and bok choy added a nice earthy contrast, while the soft-boiled egg rounded everything out. Singapore Noodles – Qwerty's take on this dish was surprisingly balanced. The sesame lime dressing gave the noodles a fresh zing, and the Asian veggies kept it light. Spice levels are customisable (I went medium, and it had a nice kick). If you're looking for a safe-but-flavorful option, this is it. Steak & Chips – A 300g Canadian striploin with peppercorn sauce is always a crowd-pleaser, and Qwerty didn't disappoint. Cooked to the right temp, juicy, and paired with crispy onion rings and grilled tomato, it felt like a classic steakhouse meal done right. The mashed potatoes were creamy, but nothing groundbreaking. Desserts Cheesecake My Day – A baked white chocolate cheesecake with a biscuit base and raspberry coulis? Yes, please. This one was rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. The tartness of the raspberry balanced out the sweetness perfectly. · Bakewell Cake – If you're a fan of almonds and classic British desserts, this is worth trying. The clotted cream and almond flakes gave it a nostalgic, homemade feel. Not overly sweet, just comforting. Beverage · Nick's Special – This one was a wildcard. Described as an orange-infused, elderflower drink, it was refreshing, floral, and citrusy, but with a unique aftertaste. A little different from your standard mixed beverage, but worth it. Final Verdict Qwerty is the kind of place that knows its audience: business professionals, casual diners. The food is comforting, the atmosphere is relaxed. Would I return? Absolutely.

Restaurant Review: Ciao Bella offers a taste of Italy in the heart of Dubai
Step into Ciao Bella at Media One Hotel, and you're instantly transported to a cozy Italian eatery where simple ingredients shine. With a menu that covers everything from classic antipasti to indulgent desserts, this spot is perfect for a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or just an espresso break in between meetings. Antipasti – A Strong Start Carpaccio Di Manzo – Thinly sliced tenderloin, paired with grated pecorino, pickled red onions, and a sharp mustard sauce, made for a well-balanced, melt-in-your-mouth experience. The rocket leaves added a fresh peppery bite, elevating the dish. Bolognese Arancini – Crispy on the outside, gooey mozzarella on the inside, and coated in a rich basil tomato sauce, these were comfort bites done right. Perfect for sharing, but you might not want to. Primi & Secondi – The Heart of the Meal Trofie al Ragu di Manzo – A rustic, homey dish with a slow-cooked beef ragu that clung to the trofie pasta perfectly. The parmesan and basil tied it all together, while the green beans added an unexpected but welcome crunch. Pollo Alla Griglia – Herb-marinated baby chicken with a creamy wild mushroom sauce? A classic that doesn't disappoint. Juicy, well-seasoned, and rich in flavor, this one's a safe yet satisfying pick. Dolci – Ending on a Sweet Note Vulcano Di Cioccolato – A classic molten chocolate lava cake, paired with vanilla ice cream. It's indulgent, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser. Gelato & Tiramisu – You can't go wrong with either. The pistachio gelato was particularly rich and nutty, while the tiramisu had that perfect balance of espresso, mascarpone, and cocoa. Final Thoughts Ciao Bella sticks to authentic, unfussy Italian flavors, making it a reliable choice for those craving a hearty meal or a casual bite. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the menu covers all the essentials, and the quality is consistent. Whether you're stopping by for a quick espresso or a full Italian feast, this spot feels like a little escape to Italy, without leaving Dubai.
