Okay, foodies, buckle up. Whether you’re the kind of person who plans dinner during lunch or just someone who occasionally gets aggressively hungry near the Burj Khalifa, there’s a brand-new spot in town that’s basically a love letter to Indian food—with a Dubai-style glow-up.
Introducing Mausam. Yep, it means season in Hindi, and trust me, this place is serving more than just curry—it’s serving moods.
So, what’s the vibe?
Imagine this: You’re steps away from the world’s tallest building (hello, Burj Khalifa flex), you’ve strategically timed your dinner just before the Dubai Fountain show, and now you’re walking into this sleek, modern oasis that smells like heaven dipped in garam masala. That’s Mausam for you. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an experience.
The interiors are elegant but not intimidating—you won’t feel judged for taking a hundred photos of your biryani (because, let’s be real, you’re gonna). The energy is vibrant, the service? On point. And the food? Well… let’s just say your tastebuds might break into a happy dance.
Seasonal Menus That Actually Make Sense
Unlike your wardrobe, which pretends it’s winter in 40-degree heat, Mausam’s menu actually changes with the seasons. Right now, it’s all about cozy, comforting dishes that feel like a warm hug from your grandma who knows 57 spice blends by heart.
The highlights? Oh, honey, where do we start?
- Mutton Roganjosh – Deep, rich, and perfectly tender. Basically the Ryan Gosling of mutton dishes.
- Murgh Makhani – AKA butter chicken, but like, the upgraded version that got a scholarship and a skincare routine.
- Paneer Chaman – A dreamy dish for our veg squad that says, “Who needs meat when you’ve got this?”
Also, can we talk about the chaats? These street-style delights hit you with flavor from all angles—sweet, spicy, tangy, crunchy. It’s basically edible chaos and we’re here for it.
Curry Nights = Your New Thursday Ritual
Clear your Thursday evenings, because Mausam’s Curry Nights are officially a thing. Every Thursday from 6 PM to midnight, you can dive into rich Awadhi gravies and royal Rajasthani curries like:
- Awadhi Taar Korma – So regal, it should come with a crown.
- Gatta Curry – For when you want hearty, spiced comfort and a good excuse to mop your plate with naan.
It’s bold, it’s flavorful, and honestly, it’s cheaper than therapy.
Mango Lovers, Assemble!
Starting this May, Mausam is leaning hard into summer with the Aamras Festival—basically a mango party and everyone’s invited. This is nostalgia on a plate, folks. We’re talking:
- Alphonso Kulfi Falooda – Creamy, dreamy, and absolutely slurp-worthy.
- Mango Malai Phirni – Served in traditional clay pots, because yes, aesthetics matter.
If mangoes were a personality, this festival would be it: sweet, sunny, and a little dramatic (in the best way).
Mausam’s Your New Go-To
Whether you’re hosting out-of-towners, date-night-ing like a pro, or just feeling fancy on a Tuesday, Mausam is your golden ticket to India’s culinary seasons without ever leaving Dubai. It’s fresh, it’s flavorful, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to order “just one more thing” until your table looks like a buffet.
