Eat, Escape, Explore: Dubai rolls out value April offers for UAE residents

Jeema Restaurant, JA Hatta Fort Hotel

JA Hatta Fort Hotel has launched an exclusive Kinara by Vikas Khanna residency at the beloved Jeema, where guests can savour celebrity Indian chef Chef Vikas’ authentic, contemporary Indian creations. Adding a new layer to the experience, the resort introduces a limited-time Kinara Stay & Dine package, starting from Dh900++ per night, with a three-course dinner for two at Kinara and a daily buffet breakfast, shaping a stay defined by flavour, discovery, and a slower pace.

The culinary journey begins with a selection of starters that balance comfort with creativity. The Kurkuri Dahi pairs baked yoghurt with kunafa, Medjool dates, and turmeric aioli, while the Podi Crusted Scallops bring together floral infusions, celeriac cream, and a delicate, nutty crust.

Moving into the mains, signature dishes showcase Kinara’s layered approach to flavour, with firm favourites including the velvety Black Dal, slow-cooked for rich depth, alongside the Achari Lamb, where tender meat is paired with caramelised onion, a nigella-fennel blend, and a burst of green mango. To end on a sweet note, guests can look forward to creations such as Jaggery Rice Kheer with candied pineapple and saffron cream, and Baked Chenna with pistachio sponge and passion fruit.

Offer: Kinara Stay & Dine, available on stays between now and April 30, with half board stay at JA Hatta Fort Hotel offering daily breakfast and a three-course dinner at Kinara for two

Price: Starting Dh900++
