After making waves in Dubai with a refined approach to classic and regional Indian cuisine, The Crossing, now partners with the iconic awards IIFA for a limited edition appearance at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – May 12, 2022 – The Crossing is all set to create waves at the 22nd edition of IIFA to be held at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island. Launched on January 20, 2022, The Crossing has emerged as the most sought-after restaurant for its elevated Indian cuisine, and is now chosen for a restaurant take over at W Abu Dhabi—Yas Island with a pop-up at its Indian restaurant, Angar, from May 14 to 21, 2022.

This one-of-its-kind restaurant takeover will give Abu Dhabi residents, celebrities, and tourists a chance to experience The Crossing whose philosophy is rooted in the blending of cultures and shared food experiences in the subcontinent. The Crossing’s highly-researched menu is all about reviving lost recipes, exploring the diversity of regional cuisines, and finding dishes that have been influenced by immigrants and travellers. It features fewer curries but relies more on shared plates that are expressive of the classic Indian comfort food that generations of Indians have grown up with. All this is paired with a contemporary cocktail list and wine portfolio. 

For the limited edition restaurant takeover, an exclusive menu has been curated and it includes fragrant Mutton Pulao made with the choicest spices; Walima Korma, a slow-braised meat preparation exclusive to Muslim weddings; Kalimpong Dumplings, a steamy savoury north Bengal dish; creamy, dreamy Chicken Makhani Malai made with tandoori chicken; Dal Moradabad, a simple yet flavourful moong dal with pakwaan crisps and The Crossing’s signature dessert, Malaiyo, an original winter sweet dish made with milk foam and garnished with honey brittle. To set in the mood for the occasion, this special menu will be complemented with exceptional cocktails designed around Bollywood and IIFA

Speaking of the opportunity, Jarret D’Abreo, Managing Partner, The Crossing says, “The Crossing has firmly positioned itself as an elevated Indian restaurant in Dubai, and we are passionate about the experience we offer to our guests.
