The Murray’s pop-up awaits at Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
By now, Brick Lane is synonymous with quirky boutiques, buzzing markets, and must-see murals. As for the strongest association with this street in London’s East End? Curry. Now, a culinary pop-up located above Dhow & Anchor at Jumeirah Beach Hotel is bringing the best of Brick Lane to Dubai, serving British-Indian flavours all summer. Entitled Murray’s, it was created by the talented team behind the award-winning gastropub.
With its old-school interiors, Murray’s feels perfect for a laidback lunch or dinner with friends and family, post-work drinks, after the game or just because. Murray’s does exactly what any curry enthusiast would expect, with extra spice thrown in for good measure. With timeless cooking techniques, the creatively crafted menu features dishes that are made with locally sourced and waste-free ingredients where possible.
Serving up a hearty mix of classic and modern British-Indian dishes, the menu transports guests to the very heart of Brick Lane with starters inspired by street food – Kasoori Lamb Seekh Kabab, Argy Bhaji, and the classic Punjabi Samosa included. For the main event, diners can tuck into the signature Chicken Ruby Murray, Birmingham Balti Lamb Chops, Paneer Tikka Masala, or Goan Prawn Curry, with all mains served with a choice of two sides from homemade naan, aromatic basmati rice, or hand-cut chips.
For the sweet-toothed, Gulkand Rasmalai and Malai Kulfi provide a comforting end to the already indulgent meal. The signature dishes at Murray’s are matched with a list of innovative and fun cocktails – the Brindian Pimms comprises mango, jackfruit, blackberry and lychee, while the Great British Spritz is topped with basil and coriander. The aptly named Madras Mojito, meanwhile, features lime, Madras spices and ginger ale. The extensive list is also accompanied by a selection of mocktails and craft beers.
