Mall dining: The best spots for elevated meals while you shop
No more sad, stale food court air; only elevated mall dining… Mall dining has had a revolution of sorts in the past few years. We all remember the days when the food court was the only dining option we had, and we'd sit their with our trays of one of five types of fast food available, surrounded by screaming babies and shopping bags and stale air, and we'd wish, we'd dream 0f better days ahead. Those days are here – now, malls have an amazing variety of elevated offerings. For your next retail therapy session, refuel with this list. KATA As far as sushi in the mall goes, Kata really takes the cake. This Japanese restaurant not only has incredibly plated food that will look gorgeous for your socials as the Dubai Fountains go off in the background but Kata where the food looks good, it tastes even better – we promise. And it's mall dining, which means you can end up here after a day of shopping or just because and it's all chill. From maki towers to braised short rib, our personal favourite? The mushroom truffle rice pot. Kata, Waterfront Dining, Dubai Mall, daily, 10am to 12am. @ Rosa's Thai This beloved UK spot already has a venue in Dubai, but the newest one in Dubai Hills Mall is where you need to be.

Popular food chain to open in our area with mouth-watering exotic dishes
A NEW Thai restaurant is opening in the area next month. Rosa's Thai, a popular chain with more than 40 branches across the UK, will open its newest establishment on the Promenade in Cheltenham in the former TM Lewin building on Monday, March 10. It was originally set to open in November 2023 but this was delayed. The restaurant chain was founded in 2008 by Saiphin and Alex Moore, who started out selling home-cooked meals from a market stall. Rosa's Thai is known for its "bold and authentic" flavours and offers a menu that combines Saiphin's family recipes with British produce and ingredients from Thailand. It will be open to the public from March 10 but customers can get a sneak preview of the restaurant at its soft launch from February 27 to March 9. During this period, you can get 50 per cent off pre-booked food orders. Saiphin said: "Cheltenham's vibrant cultural scene, love for great food, and appreciation for global flavours make it a perfect fit for Rosa's Thai. "We are incredibly excited to introduce our family recipes and signature dishes to this beautiful town." At the soft launch, a limited number of reservations will be available as the restaurant's new team perfects its service. The restaurant has warned that soft launch reservations are expected to book up quickly, and priority will be given to those signed up to the Rosa's Thai email newsletter. Anybody wanting to take advantage of the offer is encouraged to sign up to avoid disappointment. Guests can enjoy 50 per cent off food, with drinks at full price. Advance bookings are required to secure a table. Rosa's Thai will also offer delivery via Uber Eats and Just Eat, as well as click and collect through their own website, allowing diners to enjoy their favourite dishes from the comfort of their own homes. These services will be available from the hard launch on March 10. In addition to the soft launch, Rosa's Thai will also be holding a Free Curry Day. More information about the opening at
