The luxurious Eight Restaurant

Hi, recently I dinned out with my friend and we decided to try out a new diner. We picked Eight, which is an elegant and luxurious Italian yet International restaurant.
It is located in Al-Ghawali Complex, opposite Al-Raya Mall.

 

And this is the place. You could see it from the traffic light infront of Al-Raya Mall. Don't worry about parking space, cos they have valet parking service.

 

 This is the place from the inside. A very cozy and neat interior.

 

It is also quiet romantic for couples looking to avoid crowded and noisy malls.

 

 Of course, we decided to sit outdoors because the weather are lovely that night.

A Glimpse of their menu.

 

For starters, we ordered a Chicken Caesar salad, which I loved. The dressing was perfect and the lettuce was cut nicely. (I hate restaurants that serve big sized veges, like how do you eat that? Some consideration for the people with tiny mouths please or who are trying to look nice in public loool).

 

This dish is sweet potato, and was truly yummy. The sauce was nice and the presentation was excellent.

This is grilled chicken with a bree cheese sauce. A dish I recommend because the chicken was tender and cooked to perfection.

 

I can't remember the name of this dish, but it was eggplant on some baguette. This was nice for eggplant lovers.

 

 For an main course, we tried the pink pasta, but it was ok. Not so great as I expected.

 

We ordered three types of dessert. The first is the icecream on a sheet of pastry. I didn't like their vanilla icecream so much.

 

 My favourite was the warm fondant. You can't go wrong with that.

 

And last but not least, the chocolate shot. My friend enjoyed that, it was sweet and tasted like chocolate and caramel shot.

 

At the end, we ordered a padlock and they gave us markers to write our notes to remember that night.

 

 

The gesture to have the padlock wall was very thoughtful, it makes the place stick in mind and the experience more personal and close to heart.

 

 

Overall, the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. The service was great and the waiters helped us order their most popular dishes and they were very attentive to our needs.

The price of the food was reasonable and I love the idea of a padlock wall.

Thank you for a great dinning experience and we wish you all the best.
