Vietnamese food at Voi mmmm

Hey people 

Hope you are all well and in the best of spirits, today I want to do a quick review on a restaurant. This isn't just any restaurant because the food and flavours were so amazing, a person like me who really isn't that bothered about food cannot get it out of my head.

When I was in Dubai with some lovely friends we all made reservations at the Zabeel saray, their were many restaurants to choose from but the girls decided to book a table at VOI. VOI is a Vietnamese restaurant and to be honest I thought bland food oh god I won't like it, you should never kick a new experience whether it be food or jumping out of a plane hahaha, I think we should just step out our comfort zones and live a little.

So I looked at the menu and let the girls order for me, I was reluctant to try anything but then I thought lets ask the waiter. The service at such restaurants is 7 star all the way, 5 stars is what the quality gives them but the service is a cut above the rest so in my eyes I give them two extra stars. The waiter was assuring me he could get the chef to make me what I wanted according to my taste.

I told him the menu seems close enough to Thai food so could I get some awesome flavour noodles with chicken or prawn, whatever the chef thinks would link to my taste. He certainly delivered that and so much more, from the starters to the freshly baked bread and drinks oh goodness thinking about it now makes my mouth water.  










This was the drink the girls ordered and because it had ginger ale I said I would pass, but when it came my love Fatima said try mine well there was no holding me back I ordered one asap and it was delicious, I cannot explain the flavours in the drink they were so good imagine the food.



The interior has a royal feel somewhere you feel so special it blows you away.



This was one of the starters suggested by the waiter who never let us down in choice, everything he guaranteed us was better then we had imagined.



These starters may look tiny but it was the beginning to the flavour fusion we were about to experience.




Finally my prawn main, it was the tastiest food I have ever had in my life, I love Thai food but this restaurant is my number in food, service and ambience.



I had to take a picture of my friends plate and it was a giant coated prawn with risotto alongside some fresh vegetables, this also tasted scrumptious.



Finally the way to VOI isn't this so grand, the Zabeel Saray is a 5 star haven and the design and thought put into this hotel and its many restaurants is commendable. I haven't seen anything as beautiful in Dubai till date, I have been to the Burj Al Arab and that is breath taking, but the interior is too dated for me even though its a 7 star hotel. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed living in Dubai, I have met amazing people and experienced amazing things which can only draw me back always. Long live Dubai the land of the dollar and dreams.

Have a lovely day beautiful people and don't let anyone tell you otherwise its goodnight from me and lots of love.

Peace out yours truly Sam……………...
