What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

  1. Buttermilk chicken burger Net −1
    “Was a regular here however the last time I ordered the buttermilk chicken burger which I’ve ordered multiple times. The bread was incredibly stale and after raising my concern to the staff, the chef tells the waiter to tell me that that’s how they bake the bread. The ketchup as well is some cheap brand which looks like jelly. Great job in loosing a long time customer. Hope the cost cutting is working.”
  2. Portobello miso mushrooms Net −1
    “Portobello miso mushrooms were a tad salty for me but goes well with the eggs and toast.”

The Bottom Line

Culinary Boutique is a breakfast-and-brunch favourite in Al Barsha, with a menu that ranges beyond standard café fare. The French toast is a standout in several reviews, described as crispy on top and fluffy inside, while the avocado toast, Turkish eggs and assorted egg Benedicts are reliable names to consider. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner dishes, including Portuguese chicken and fish risotto.

The setting is one of its strongest practical advantages. Reviews describe a clean, cosy and relaxing room with outdoor seating, underground parking and charging sockets around the restaurant. That combination makes it useful for a quiet breakfast, coffee catch-up, work session or business meeting rather than only a quick meal.

Takeaway is another option, with one customer reporting a five-to-fifteen-minute wait. There are a few cautions. Service has been excellent for some visitors but slow or inconsistent for others, particularly during a busy Sunday morning.

Two reviews also mention hot drinks arriving in plastic cups because the glassware was broken. Prices have struck some diners as high, and allergy-conscious guests should ask about ingredients: one reviewer said mushrooms were not clearly listed. For dessert or a lavender-flavoured drink, the lavender milk cake and lavender iced coffee receive specific praise.
