00:00There is a secret restaurant in Dubai the chefs love to eat at.
00:06It's hidden in a plain side.
00:09It's really juicy.
00:11I am Mohamed Arfali and this is Slab.
00:13Let me show you my favorite three dishes in this restaurant.
00:16Come with me.
00:17Look at that, potato, sour cream and caviar, what do you need more than this?
00:37The potato is sliced and cooked and then deep fried, it's super crunchy.
00:41The creaminess is going to come from the sour cream and caviar.
00:47Let me see what's going on here.
00:49Delicious, wow, crunchy, savory, sweet and sour and a lot of umami and caviar.
01:11This is Tarte Flambée Mon Cheri.
01:14As you can see, it's not a tart, it's more like flat bread, shredded with some cream
01:18cheese, bacon, a lot of onion and chives.
01:22One of my favorite things at Slab.
01:25Look at that, beautiful, crunchy, crisp and creamy.
01:32The texture of the fromage blanc, which is the cream cheese, the freshness from the onion
01:37and the chives, the beef bacon, the smokiness, delicious.
01:50Holy moly, look at that, fried chicken sandwich.
01:53Guys, this is not a burger joint, this is like a real restaurant, a real chef who can
01:59make the best fried chicken ever.
02:01Let me take a sip of the drink here.
02:05Watch this, with the fried chicken, with the aioli, crunchy, garlicky, fresh, a lot
02:14of pickles.
02:15It's really juicy.
02:16Listen, I'm not kidding, the best fried chicken sandwich in Dubai.
02:25This is my favorite three dishes at Slab.
02:28Believe me, they have a lot more, let me know what you think about it.
