Abu Dhabi: Tucked away in an unremarkable corner in the Tourist Club area, Easy Bites at first glance is a hard-to-impress, small eatery that sells quick bites.
But what comes out of its ordinary kitchen is quite extraordinary.
Mostly catering to takeaway orders, Easy Bites’ fresh and healthy range of salads, wraps, burgers and sandwiches is already catching up with calorie conscious eaters.
Their quick door-to-door delivery anywhere in the city means your hunt for a quick hassle-free meal need not always end at a fast food. For instance, why gobble down a fatty, calorie-laden burger when you can savour a freshly made healthy goat cheese sandwich or a sweet potato falafel burger. Or you could simply opt for their Cajun burger, which is one of their most popular items.
The grilled chicken breast resting on a crest of iceberg lettuce is soft and succulent, and the lime topped with coriander crème fraiche or sour cream adds flavour to the Cajun burger. Whether you want your bread white or whole meal is your call.
I also recommend the halloumi sandwich which tastes yum with fire-roasted red pepper and rocket leaves.
The best thing about their menu is there is plenty of variety in it, which makes for interesting combinations.
You could switch to a salmon burger if you get bored with an Angus beef burger. Seafood lovers could experiment with a prawn sandwich or a tuna burger.
Want a quick takeaway for the office? Go for a chicken enchilada wrap (Mexican chicken and peppers wrapped in a flour tortilla and baked with Mexican spiced tomato sauce, topped with shredded cheddar cheese), or better still, a mixed bean enchilada. Both items are delicious and you don’t have to wait long for your order.
My pick from the menu, however was from the salad section. The Sicilian salad is fresh from the garden and features a medley of shaved fennel, red cabbage, chicory, apple, carrot, orange, blue cheese crumbles, pistachios and almonds with orange blossom honey dressing. Another favourite is ‘The Beetroot’ which comes with chunky cubes of beetroot, rocket leaves, goat cheese, walnuts and orange blossom honey dressing. The salads were fresh and are healthy too.
To satisfy your sweet cravings, you could dig into a carrot cake, fresh fruit salad or the finger-licking white chocolate and Oreo cheesecake. Easy Bites also has a decent range of breakfast items. In short, it is not so difficult to stick to healthy eating. Easy Bites makes sure good food is just a call away.
