All packed with great food…

The concept of a set menu is pretty cool, especially for the indecisive folks out there who love to eat… but never know what they want. All the choices are made for you, curated by the experts, and you just do the fun bit – eat.

If an a la carte menu with rows upon rows of options is a daunting sight for you, fret not and head over to these spots to sample set menus of exquisite variety. This is the only choice you’ll need to make… promise.

Here are 6 new set menus you can try in Dubai.
