Milas

Milas is how Emiratis pronounce majlis – the traditional guest reception room. This particular majlis has a sleek contemporary look (wood, glass, neon) that goes well with updated riffs on such traditional local dishes as harees (porridge-like stew of cracked wheat and slow-cooked lamb) and machboos (beef stew). Thoughtful perks: wet handcloths, the complimentary dangaw (chickpea) appetiser and a post-meal perfume tray.
