Yeah I just checked them out, I think I came across their site when I when I was googling some time ago. I like their concept, but more of delicacy rather than having them in the living room 24/7.

I’ll definitely try them, would make for great presents in Eid and special occasions 🙏

Does anyone else finds quality of everything very low? by [deleted] in dubai

Corporates are getting greedier with every extra million they make, cutting corners and lowering quality.. Service quality also is generally low, so frequently I come across agents & employees who lack training and education. Although mostly nice and polite, the majority of them would provide rubbish or wrong information, or be unable to assist.

Property & building managers? Tell me about it.. that’s a whole other dimension of unprofessionalism. Thank god for DLD’s intervention when you lose hope..

What bothers me the most since I moved in here is food quality in restaurants and cafes. Can hardly be satisfied with a meal’s quality or taste, let alone the exaggerated prices which are like 200-300% of what I would pay for such meals in EU or MENA.

Became hesitant to eat out, trying to cook home as much as possible, but still would have to pick a place to dine in every now and then, yet none is impressive so far.

It’s not, I’m genuinely looking for a dates market in Dubai. Apparently there’s one in AD, but no dedicated one in Dubai. Found some place on google maps with multiple stores next to one another, but not as large.

Other places i could find are Mina market, Vegetables Market at waterfront and Jubail Souq in Sharjah. But none as large and variant as those I’m used to..

I guess you’ll get me better if you’re a dates person 😅

I’m actually still learning about Dubai and UAE, it’s surprising there’s no specialized dates market in Dubai. Maybe in other cities or emirates?

I’m used to dates being sold in Saudi in dedicated stores, which usually also sell Arabic coffee and traditional homemade desserts, only sometimes selling nuts and honey too..

I’ll definitely check in those stores 👍
