If your senses are demanding some stimulus, then the aromas that greet you as you enter The Spice Emporium at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi will put a smile on your face.

The open kitchen and dining space allow you to take in everything around you: the woks, dancing grills, Teppan, tandoor and steaming baskets.

The innovative mix of Asian and French cuisine succeeds with aplomb.

In particular, make sure you don't miss out on the gloriously creamy coconut curries or the delicate seafood.

There is a colourful selection of special house beverages (top tip: listen to staff recommendations!).

But what stands this eatery apart from the raft of Asian-style high-end joints is the service.

Friendly staff will give you guidance but know when to leave you alone to enjoy table conversation and the delights on your plate.
