Relaunch of Century Village


Century Village a cluster of 10 cozy indoor and outdoor food outlets offering a variety of different cuisines under one huge garden like compound in the Aviation Club neighboring The Irish Village

My partner heard about free licensed beverages being served during the re launch on the night of Halloween while dining at one of the restaurants at Century Village and decided he wanted to be there so off we scampered to Century Village right after work yesterday.


There were two hubs put up to pick up a range of licensed beverage of your choice and sit at any one of these restaurants and merry the night away. 



We picked up our beverages and headed over to Da Gama, located right in the middle where we had a clear view of the band and the rest of the happenings. 



We decided on nibbling on finger food that go for the full fledged mains. The Chili Garlic Seafood Basket was fresh, succulent and included Mussel, Prawn, Calamari and all things nice, crispy fried in a mildly sweet and spicy batter. 

The Wagyu Mini Burgers topped with vintage cheddar & tomato relish weren't the best I've tasted, but was decent enough, although it failed to stay moist for more than an hour. The Saffron and Yogurt infused Chicken Skewers were soft enough to melt in the mouth and filled with flavour. 

The waiter who collected the cheque asked if I would like to leave a tip, which I usually do if there is no service charged included. Out of sheer fatigue I left an over all tip of AED 50/- including the additional charges included in the bill, which I feel is a rip off. 

Da Gama has never failed to extend a wonderful dining experience and the revamp was a much needed one. 

The cover band is the best thing Century Village has adopted. They know their music and does a brilliant job at keeping the crowd hooked by playing the all time favourites of the 80, 90 & and the 2000s. As far as my memory goes, they can be seen at Century Village every Tuesday and Saturday.
