The current menu @moonrise.xyz walks you thru a fine dining take on the regions greatest street food hits .
As many of the OG dishes are new to me , I wasn’t able to have that extra emotional connection with the dishes as someone who is local to the area would . Nonetheless, on flavour and creativity this menu is certainly a success .
The dish of the night was the opening bite , a pani puri with flavours which appeared on the palate and then proceeded to be replaced by continuous and harmonious flavour layers . It is an ingenious mouthful
FOIE GRAS PURI
Foie Gras & Saudi Date Ganache, Szechuan Chilli, Pineapple & Saffron Chutney
Local grouper was the vessel to showcase both dynamite sauce and fish fry masala . Crisp fish in creamy spicy emulsion .
HAMOUR DYNAMITE
Dry Aged UAE Wild Hamour, Dynamite Emulsion, Fish Fry Masala
Wild tuna from Cadiz with hot sauce and an interpretation of spicy Oman chips . Love the nori in sugar syrup served alongside and delivering great balance .
SPICY TUNA

Glass shrimp are a lovely texture and the tour-ranch hybrid steals the show

The moonrise take on local bread was another highlight , beautiful light dough lightly grilled and puffed with a salty sweet miso-date butter

The most recognisable course for me , Queensland Wagyu served with shawarma sauce flavours . The Wagyu was somewhat overpowered .

Jade Wagyu MB 8-9, Mexici Sauce, Pickled Daikon
Loved the cheese course , Hokkaido milk bread topped with black garlic jam, two ages of Parmesan and WA truffles . Classic combination .
MOONRISE GRILLED CHEESE
Pre dessert featured Shizuoka Melon which always delivers , featuring sorbet , foam, and syrup this refreshed as intended.
Finally a poetic end with Karak and paratha - this dessert served in a dark restaurant with a roaring flame to evoke the desert is a great finale Less
