Brunching at Toshi

Wow - Bao Wow

The place seems to take a few cues from Mr Miyagi and is covered in graffiti from floor to ceiling and of course has a thousand brightly colored lanterns jammed in there too. The street art is nicely done thanks to the skills of local artist Ramy Elzaghawy.

Lo-Fi Thrills at Wise Kwai

Wise Kwai is set in an intimate dining room space on the first floor of Dusit Thani's latest property in Barsha Heights.

The styling features some quirky elements, like the wood block stamps, large overhead light boxes with Asian inspired motifs and the old school cameras and movie projector.
