This latest restaurant is located at the new five-star Mövenpick
Hotel Deira, while the emirate’s first Options by Sanjeev Kapoor
launched at Dubai World Trade Centre in 2006 and was recently voted The
Best Asian Restaurant by readers of Masala magazine.

The 70-seat Options at Mövenpick Hotel Deira restaurant is
located close the main hotel entrance and is decorated in a style the
team refers to as “soothing bling” — all crystal chandeliers,
mustard-coloured walls and red furnishings, while the live cooking
stations animate the dining experience.

Also helping to propel the outlet into Hotelier’s top 10 is the fact it
is one of a few restaurants in the emirate to employ a female executive
chef.

The menu will feature handpicked dishes developed by Kapoor,
including signatures such as Chandi Kaliya, Sham Savera, Kachhe Gost Ki
Birani, Lalla Mussa Dal, Murgh Makhani, Subz Bahar and Methi Chaman.

In terms of pricing, Options CEO Sayeed Hussain says: “Through
experience we know that value-for-money is of paramount importance when
pricing our menus. We feel that an average meal for two people with a
price tag of around AED 250 (around US $68) is acceptable to our target
audience.”
