Hidden amidst the tall buildings in Al-Azaiba South on a dark street is a little place called Another Fine Day Restaurant and Café (AFD).

Serving their vast menu which includes Italian and Continental Cuisines alongside Grills, we were a little sceptical in trying out their food, we’ll be honest.

The place is quiet and a little scarcely decorated, however, very brightly painted. They have a Café area with red and orange walls, giving the area a cheerful vibe. Housing a bookshelf filled with books, it seems like a nice place to sip coffee and read in peace.

The casual dining area also has two private dining rooms for those who wish for a little privacy.

 

BLUEBERRY MOJITO

Maybe not the colour we expected but this drink was delectable.

Served chilled, this was the perfect start to our dinner.

ROASTED BELL PEPPER CROSTINI

Perfect balance of flavours with a surprise of Pesto as the base spread on the Crunchy yet not rubbery bread.
The cheese and olive oil acted as the cherry on top for this delicious appetizer.
Very reasonably priced, well presented, decent serving size.

Would recommend trying this out!

 

GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD

This salad was the highlight of the evening. Delicious pesto tossed lettuce, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers with grilled chicken. A generous drizzle of good olive oil gave the salad an enhanced flavour.

Crunchy, fresh, delightful! We would go back for this.

 

CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA

This is one dish that’s not that easy to get right. The cream sauce can tend to get too oily and heavy very easily.  AFD, however, got it on point.

This was surprisingly delicious. With Avocado slices and the Penne al dente, this was pretty soothing to the taste buds.

 

The same cannot be said for the side of Garlic Bread, though. It was quite tough and rubbery.

Still, a good dish to delve in.

CON2P

This strangely named dish was not our favourite, unfortunately. Served with a side of Garlic bread that was not upto the mark again, and a ton of mixed vegetables sautéed in a pungent sauce, this is not a dish we would’ve picked out ourselves.

The serving size and presentation were both great, though.

However, if you are into white sauce cheesy chicken with strong black pepper, you might like this.

SIZZLING BROWNIE WITH ICE CREAM

The positives first. The ice cream was of decent quality and tasted good. The brownie also tasted decent.

However, it wasn’t moist and creamy on the inside like it should’ve been. It was more on the dry side.

 

FRIED ICE CREAM

Two scoops served in a beautiful manner, these tasted decent and the ice cream held its shape.

 

OVERALL REVIEW

For the price you pay for the food in this place, it can’t get better than this.

A decent meal. Great portion sizes and well presented food.

Highly recommend the Mojito, Crostini and the Grilled Salad.
