Lunch with Farook

Farook has a new job working for a magazine based in Media City. The Arabic content is original, and Farook says it's full of mistakes. Farook asked me to analyse the English content, which is simply downloaded from well-written websites, so there's nothing ungrammatical about it.

After we'd looked at the magazine, Farook asked me if I knew of a cheap place for lunch, and I recommended The Highway Inn. I'd never eaten there, but I've often seen their sign, 'All You Can Eat Buffet: €2.40'

It was cheap. As we entered, a departing patron complained about the lack of A/C, although, if one selected a table directly in front of the vent, it wasn't too bad.

However, Farook only likes Arabic cuisine and pizza, and the Highway Inn offers neither, so, after we'd eaten, Farook said he would not be returning.

Still, it's not bad for the price.

So what food do they have?

SD: The chef is Indian. They have a rather large number of items, claiming to be Indian, Chinese, Arabic, and Continental.

None of the so-called Chinese dishes have ever been seen anywhere in China, and when they say 'Continental' they don't specify which continent.

Most dishes are either veg or chicken.

Like most buffets, there are a few salads and desserts.

Not bad for Dh 12.

I'm now really intrigued about the "Chinese" dishes! I have noticed a few Indian restaurants that also claim to serve Chinese food.
