Tangerine - located inside the Bay Ave mall in Business Bay, Dubai - advertises itself as a Thai and Far Eastern restaurant - serving “the best of Thai, Chinese, Burmese, Singaporean, Indonesian and Malay cuisine.”
Big red flag.
I have learned through experience that places that serve everything generally make everything badly. I avoid such places but tempted fate here and stepped in, only to discover I should have trusted my first instinct.
I have been to this place a few times and tried their Pad Thai, Thai Green Curry, Khao Soi amongst others. The food is ok but unnecessarily creamy and oily, without adding much to the taste. Their Thai Green curry, as an example, was cooked in cream and hence filling but not tasty.
In an area that offers multiple decent eating options (including a fairly decent Thai restaurant) Tangerine is one restaurant worth walking right by.
