Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm, Dubai recently opened its doors on the iconic Palm Jumeirah. This distinctive island oasis, nestled on the white sands of Palm Jumeirah, brings exceptional Indian hospitality, culinary journeys, wellness, and relaxation to the shores of Dubai.
The award-winning hotel brand Taj has always taken pride in providing memorable stays and dining experiences. Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm, Dubai, is set to bring the same excellence to the region. Guests are taken on a sensorial culinary journey across the resort’s seven dining and bar options. Each concept is unique and inspired by a mix of cultures and countries, with modern twists on traditional dishes prepared with the highest quality ingredients.
VARQ
Varq is a finely crafted gold or silver leaf used to garnish gourmet dishes – a worthy symbol of royalty – and the inspiration behind this contemporary Indian fine-dining restaurant, where the canvas is the plate and the highest quality ingredients are the palate. Savour creations such as Varqui Crab, a culinary medley of crab meat, tandoori shrimp, crispy filo and gold leaf. Diners will also enjoy handcrafted cocktails and boutique spirits as well as exclusive experiences such as our chef’s table, degustation menus and inspiring wine tasting evenings.
Private dining rooms allow for intimate occasions, family celebrations or corporate events. Artistic touches delight from the themed leaf chandelier to the chic bar seating, and the stunning show kitchen where “feature presentations” are created.
