Welcome to the second edition of our new-style e-newsletter, The Weekly JLT! This week’s edition is once again full of food - including a Dubai first, pink chaat, and a bargain offer of 50% off traditional fish & chips. Plus, there’s a new Indian in JLT, which serves the food of maharanis, and a new Turkish bakery that, Turkish coffee aside, brings the increasingly popular simit to our neighbourhood’s shores.
Knives & forks at the ready! Let’s munch!

London Fish & Chips at Kitchens Republik: Isn’t it time for some proper Fish & Chips? How about proper Fish & Chips at half price? Kitchens Republik in cluster U has launched its “Weekly Munch” promotion and, until this Friday, you can get a portion of “Buckingham” for just AED 22 instead of the usual AED 44. Check it out here. If you can’t make it down to Kitchens Republik before Friday, don’t worry, because there’ll be another “Weekly Munch” offer next week - you can read more about the promotion on the JLT Dining Blog.
The Cheeky Camel @ voco Bonnington: Enjoy fantastic deals on premium hops and many other selected beverages every day until 9 p.m. daily at the Cheeky Camel in the voco Bonnington in cluster J. Find out what else is going on at the Cheeky Camel here.
Afternoon Tea @ the Taj JLT: Fancy an indulgent afternoon tea? The Taj JLT serves one daily and at AED 99/person you don’t really need to wait for that special day or occasion. Just stop by the Taj between 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. and dig in!
McGettigan’s JLT: It’s once again time for the Irish Pub in cluster J to deck the halls an throw the annual Half Way to Christmas Brunch 🎄The event’s taking place on 25th June, but usually sells out fast, so you’re best off booking immediately if you want to attend and be transported into a Christmas partyland with free flowing drinks, delicious ham & turkey roast dinners, glorious mince pies and all your favourite Christmas tunes. You can find out more here or book your tickets here.
Pink Chaat at Sagar Ratna: You’ll have heard of chaat, of course, but have you ever heard of Pink Chaat? We’d certainly never heard of seen anything about it until we came across this post by Sagar Ratna in cluster R. Looks like Pink Chaat is a thing and you can only get it in JLT (oh, and Oud Metha, but who goes all the way there?!).
Ladies Night @ Nara: DJ NJAY is back at Nara for Ladies Night, which means great party vibes and good food every Wednesday from 6 p.m. Ladies get 4 complimentary drinks and 50% of food. You’ll find the details here.

Congratulations, Nabz&G! Arjan seems the way to go, because yet another fine JLT eatery has recently opened a new branch in Arjan, following Pitfire Pizza’s lead (see last week’s newsletter). Congratulations to Little Erth for expanding. We still prefer the OG in cluster J, of course ;-)
See the ‘hood through Basit’s lens! We’re always happy to see professional photographers taking pictures in and around JLT - check out our latest find on Instagram, photography_by_basit!
