AUSTRALIAN ROAST BEEF
DELI EXPRESS 8/10 Dhs35 We had a top-notch cheese and Branston pickle at this foodcourt favourite, but couldn’t help but notice that everyone else was ordering the beef. Curious. On our next visit we got involved. Tender, carved meat, glorious gravy, fresh, bitter greens and a host of toppings (horseradish, stuffing, mint yoghurt…) between bread of your choice resulted in a roast dinner on the run. Juicy, comforting and perhaps a little too convenient… Deli Express, Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha, Dubai. Tel: (04) 3412483
CHEDDAR CHEESE PLOUGHMAN’S

LOBSTER CLUB
PIANO LOUNGE 7/10 Dhs120 We love lobster, and we love club sandwiches. So the two of them combined is like a dream come true for us. Thankfully the sandwich lived up to our expectations, even though it came with a whopping Dhs120 price tag. What you get for your money is a three-tiered beast of a sandwich, with layers of lobster, chicken and avocado and salad. Served up with some crispy fries, this sandwich is a tasty, if expensive, meal. Piano Lounge, InterContinental Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. Tel: (02) 6666888
