Dubai’s culinary scene has reached new heights this November with the unveiling of Bistro Aamara’s refreshed menu, inspired by the historic Silk Route. Located at the prestigious Voco Hotel, this Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded bistro has crafted a dining experience like no other, blending the intricate flavors and culinary traditions of the Middle East, Asia, and India.
Under the expert guidance of Executive Chef Ritwik Sarkar, Bistro Aamara has redefined the boundaries of fusion cuisine, bringing an array of bold and dynamic dishes to life. Each creation on the new menu pays homage to the ancient trade route, where spices, ingredients, and recipes crossed borders to create a unique cultural melting pot.
A Journey Through Flavors: Signature Dishes from the Silk Route
The new menu at Bistro Aamara celebrates the rich heritage of Silk Route-inspired cuisine. Diners are invited to explore dishes that capture the heart and soul of this ancient trade path, featuring vibrant flavors and inventive twists.
Seafood Bouillabaisse Malai Curry
A delightful combination of Pan-Seared Barramundi, Scallops, Prawns, Clams, and Mussels, this dish is elevated by a luxurious Malai Curry base. Priced at 125 AED, it’s a must-try for seafood lovers seeking a harmonious blend of traditional French techniques and Indian spices.
Silk Road Lamb Korma
This 125 AED masterpiece features tender lamb paired with crispy almond and confit baby onion, delivering a symphony of textures and flavors. The dish represents the luxurious spices that once traveled along the Silk Route, making it a standout addition to the menu.
Returning Favorites: Butter Chicken and Malai Kofta
