WIN OVERNIGHT STAY AT AURIS PLAZA HOTEL, PLUS IFTAR FOR FAMILY OF FIVE

Love Turkish food? We recommend heading to Auris Plaza Hotel in Dubai to enjoy Iftar this Ramadan. For the first time, the hotel has joined up with the Culinary Arts Academy of Istanbul to launch the Turkish Food Festival. Celebrating throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan, the culinary festival will offer special Turkish Iftar buffets with live cooking stations and traditional Turkish treats.

We’ve teamed up with the hotel to offer one lucky reader of ADConfidential the chance to win an overnight stay at Auris Plaza Hotel, with an Iftar included for a family of up to five people.

The Turkish Food Festival at Auris Plaza Hotel, located in Al Barsha, will feature various Turkish regional and Ottoman cuisine favourites such as; Yuvalama, a festive dish made of rice and meat rolled into small-sized balls with chick peas and a yoghurt sauce; Enginar, an artichoke confit from the Aegean region, Muhlama, a traditional polenta from the Black Sea region, and Yaprak Sarma, Vine leaves filled with rice, meat and spices. Traditional Turkish Ramadan specialities such as; Ramadan pide (a traditional bread); gullac, a dessert of layered pastry, pomegranate and walnuts; Tursu Kavurmasi, sautéed pickled green beans with caramelized onions and an aromatic spicy oil; and Petek Bal and Kaymak, a traditional fast breaking dish of honey and thick cream.

Following each Iftar, guests are encouraged to continue socialising at the Auris Plaza Hotel’s indoor Hookah Lounge and open air rooftop Pool Terrace, where a selection of quality shisha along with traditional Ramadan past times such as touwla and cards are available.

The Turkish Food Festival 2013 will run throughout Ramadan 2013 at the Auris Plaza Hotel (125 AED per adult, 50% discount for children 5-12 years, free for children below 5 years).  For more information, 04 4554839/40, www.auris-hotels.com
