Manāo

Manāo (meaning Lime in Thai) is the joint efforts of Chef Mohammad Orfali (Orfali Bros) and Chef Abhiraj Khatwani. Manao presents itself as serving Thai cuisine with an innovative approach. The restaurant offers 11 course testing menu. Personally I believe that an à la carte menu would go better with the concept. The decor and ambience is minimalist yet chic. From the early start, one can notice Mohammad Orfali’s touches on the menu. Small bites with strong flavours but of Thai food. The main ingredients are rice, coconut and tamarind. Some items were spicy, which is expected in Thai cuisine, so you need to be prepared. Personally, I liked the Sticky Rice Roti and the Sour Curry Beef. It is a must to try restaurant in Dubai.
