Here is another exciting restaurant by UAE’s famous chef Reif Othman. Everything we tried today at this restaurant has been a unique experience. An innovative menu where quality is of top priority and the beef here taste outstanding. Smokd Eatery is definitely a meat lovers paradise where you get to eat some of those mouth watering American meats. Although the name sounds purely American, they do have a touch of Asian on their menu. They also have a good collection of drinks consisting of mocktails, shakes, Mojitos, IcedTeas. Food here is elegant, colorful and delicious. Worth a visit especially if you love quality beef.
The restaurant faces the main road at Boxpark and if you are lucky then you should get a parking in front of the restaurant (which is a free parking). The interiors are pretty, colorful and more of pastel colors. The hospitality has been great with servers being attentive during our time at Smokd Eatery.
The drinks have been amazing, I suggest you try any of their mocktails and you should be happy. I was in love with the sweet and spicy mocktail which had a pinch of spice on a sweet bed of chilled mango fruit puree. The Kale salad was just superb especially that touch of caremalized nuts and honey dressing, the kale by itself felt really refreshing eating. We then tried one of their signature starters which was the thinly sliced smoked pastrami, hands on for creating this amazing starter. It was simply irresistible.
If you are at Smokd Eatery, you have to try their briskets. Nothing like these, the moment they are in your mouth you begin to appreciate the true cooking of meat. The taste of these juicy brisket in that BBQ BAO was just amazing, but there wasn’t any other flavour overriding the original brisket taste, it was just like eating an original juicy brisket. The prime short ribs would just fall of the bone, it was that tender and here you really enjoy the marinated glaze on the shortribs, the pumpkin butternut puree which came as a side was also delicious. This mains was so rich in taste, it was simply unbelievable. It’s definitely an A+ for their mains we tried today at Smokd Eatery.
There are some desserts that you need to try. For me the combination of peanut butter and chocolate was a dream and simply luscious. We were unfortunate that they didn’t have the cheese cake available from the menu to try but we did go for the smoked honey pannocotta which I thought wasn’t as impressive as the peanut butter chocolate cake, but then again if you want something lighter then this could be the one for you. It’s a pannacotta with a twist. The restaurant doesn’t have a website yet, but you get to see the entire menu from their Instagram page @smokdeatery.
