So whats the Place Guys ... People and date Decided .. and No Venue ...

Where is Asfaq Bhai ??

Everyone is ok with date, let's consider it final.
venue, we should decide it fast otherwise booking will become difficult. Someone finalize it please!

[Racerf1]

I apologise but cannot seem to think of a venue that would be suitable for a one dish, I do not mind the JLT as long as it is not on the end of Palm Jumeirah

And pls no resturant like BBQ tonight or delight but rather something which actually caters for iftar if it is going to be a resturant. I did like the Arabic Resturant in Al Boom Tourist Village near Garhoud bridge. I do not remeber but per head was 120aed few years back they used to be 60aed might have dropped back down as it was empty after the price rise. But the way they catered for Iftari was amazing.

this doe snot have to be written in stone but rather my 2 cents I will be ok with any of your ideas too.

Besides the subject Congrats to those who got Licenses Tireshredder, Waqitariq, and AWK guys stay safe and drive safe.

^As majority decides, but I really liked the idea of one dish at some indoor space. We can spend quality time and enjoy home cooked food. No unwanted crowd chatter and no parking hassles in jlt. As everyone agrees and if it is easy for all to come to jlt.

JLT sounds OK then ... I Will Walk There

Just confirm now i guess ... ask your building people and lets do it

Great, I was just waiting for someone to say yes (H)

Already checked the facility, attaching few pics. It's not well-equiped, yet we've lot of space. 16 people can be accomodated on table n chairs, otherwise we can also arrange for floor-seating ourself.
Maghrib jamaa't can be done inside aswell. (rest rooms are just outside)

Pantry



Parking

Everyone is comfortable? I need to book it asap before someone else occupies it for same date! Please confirm.

now this is a great thing,

very few people answer in a firmly manner and conclude things quickly for any plan otherwise every one hangs around few words like i dont know, i guess so, i dont think so.

[fahadmiester]

great news, I wont be able to make it as I am leaving for Pakistan on 10th, anyway will be looking forward to the pictures

[fahad992]

the venue great , so decide the dishes

[Racerf1]

Ok I think the place looks great and should not be a problem for anyone. So pls do confirm it and please make alist of ppl bring whatever they can right beside their names. I will get dates and Laban besides some other things that I can.

[Racerf1]

Ok guys lets make this happen, move butts and have your dishe mentioned. You do not have to have home cooked food you can bring from a vendor also as there are few bacelors this time of the year including me, RacerF2 and Istafa.

Ps. pls do bring along some plates and cups and plastic utensils with you alos just so everyone can enjoy the dish.

Let's move to the interesting part now; the menu & dishes.. really waiting for it

From my side: All sort of fried items (pikoras, samosas, rolls, nuggets) franks, fried chicken n fish etc would be done as these items are best when served fresh. As my home is just 150ft~ away (I mean just 10 floors down) so no one can provide these more fresh
And yes; tea, fresh drinks and water also.

Rest of main-items you divide. Don't miss "channa chat"

[Sheryar]

Biryani, fried chicken pieces, Haleem, Kheer & shami kababs/cutlus for every1 will be made & cooked by myself

So I can bring these .. Kafi hae ya aur kuch ?

[khanrocks]

Great Going Guys ....

I would Bring Some Pasta Spaghetti & what ever Wifey Cooks

Agreed, we can have some food from vendors aswell. Everything from home is also not good for health

We can have disposable utensils, I'll arrange them. And for main servings, hope I'll succeed to source some from my kitchen (after some dishum dishum :p).
