New seasonal menus on board
Emirates is celebrating Oktoberfest, the Harvest Festival and Diwali in its latest seasonal menus. Until 6 October on flights to and from Germany and in Emirates Lounges in Germany, Bavarian specialities are on offer to celebrate Oktoberfest. Throughout October the Harvest Festival – a celebration of food grown on the land – will be championed by fresh Autumnal produce available on flights from the UK. Dishes will include butternut squash soup, a salt-baked beetroot appetiser with mozzarella; a main course of venison casserole and a dessert of tonka bean pannacotta in First and Business Class; and
strawberry and rhubarb crumble for dessert in Economy Class. To celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights, Emirates customers can enjoy treats on flights to and from India from 25 – 31 October. During the festival week, Emirates customers in Economy Class can enjoy gram flour-based Motichoor Laddu. In First Class and Business Class, passengers can look forward to Diamond barfi, made of cashews, and Motichoor Laddu in addition to the dessert menu. A range of Indian snacks and meals are available in Dubai and select lounges.
