Thanani restaurant set to open on Al Zorah Creek in Ajman



The restaurant scene in Ajman is set to welcome a new restaurant that is sure to attract interested foodies in the emirate.

Thanani, which is located in the Al Zorah Pavilion on the creek and set to open on April 21, is being touted as “an urban sanctuary” offering sweeping views of flamingos and one of the region’s beautiful natural mangrove forests.

Derived from the Arabic word for “pairing”, Thanani’s culinary inspiration comes from the power house kitchens of modern-day Europe, Paris, Barcelona, London, Rome and the north of Italy.

Diners can sample a unique European grazing style menu, with dishes designed to be shared, complemented by a well-crafted beverage menu. An array of specialities feature on the menu, which has been carefully curated by head chef Ricardo Menta.

Guests will enjoy food from the restaurant’s Burrata trolley featuring smoked and flavoured Burrata from Puglia in Italy; Loch Duart salmon; Kataifi prawns marinated in garlic olive oil and parsley with a sweet and sour apricot purée; Turkish chicken, freshly baked baskets of flavoured brioche and focaccia sliders with slow braised Wagyu beef cheeks in a tarragon sauce.

Thanani will offer a laid-back, refined atmosphere with it’s a lounge-style seating area. From April 21 it will be open on weekdays and weekends from noon to midnight.
