Dubai’s culinary scene recently welcomed a new addition that’s making waves among food enthusiasts. Mina’s Market, situated within The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina, is the brainchild of British Chef Nick Alvis and his team, known for their success at Mina’s Kitchen.
Running every Wednesday from October 11th, Mina’s Market offers an authentic British dining experience inspired by London’s Borough Market. The ambiance is reminiscent of a bustling British market, with market-style stalls serving up classic British dishes.
Inside, a vibrant British brasserie atmosphere awaits diners. Market-style stalls recreate the spirit of a traditional British market, offering a feast of classic dishes to please any palate.
For those with a penchant for savory pies, the London Pie Shop is a must-visit. With six different options to choose from, including braised beef cheek, creamed chicken, leek, and bacon, these hearty pies are perfectly accompanied by creamy English mustard and Champ mash potato.
The Bakery at Mina’s Market is a haven for bread lovers. The aroma of freshly baked bread loaves, pretzels, and baguettes are set to fill the air, while sugared and glazed doughnuts, fruit tarts, brownies, and chocolate profiteroles will beckon to dessert enthusiasts.
The Modern Butcher’s and Fresh Fish Market are a carnivore’s dream. Guests can choose their cuts of sirloin, short rib wagyu, ribeye, lamb cutlets, and more. The fresh seafood station featured prime cuts of tuna steaks, salmon fillets, swordfish, prawns, and Dibba Bay oysters, prepared expertly right before your eyes.
At Mina’s British Balti House, an aromatic spice journey awaits. British-style Chicken Tikka Masala, hot samosas, paneer curries, caramelized onion bhajis, and poppadoms with chutney sides will delight the taste buds. Next door, the London Levant Kebab Shop offered grilled lamb doner kebabs with pocket pita bread and an array of spicy sauces and pickled relishes.
The market ambiance is further enhanced by classic British-style shop fronts, fresh flower stalls, and open display boxes overflowing with fresh fruits and veggies. From honey-glazed carrots to green beans with roasted garlic and gem lettuce salads with honey, walnut, and wholegrain English mustard, there will be a bounty of fresh produce to enjoy.
To conclude the culinary adventure, Mina’s Yard presents a tempting selection of hard and soft cheeses, paired with cured pork cuts, grapes, and chutney jams. English, Italian, and French cheeses made for a sweet-savory finale to the meal.
Mina’s Kitchen, with its distinctive high ceilings and colonial-style décor, provides an airy yet warm ambiance. The island bar in the center of the restaurant overlooks the entertainment space and serves as the perfect spot to savor exclusive English sparkling wine, Chapel Down.
Chef Nick Alvis, the mastermind behind this culinary haven, remarked, “Following the success of The Roast by Bubbalicious, Mina’s Market is a second British culinary offering at Mina’s Kitchen. We’re bringing the same high standard of British food and delicacies, mixed with the nostalgic feeling and experience that you get when visiting traditional UK food markets.”
