Hidden behind the Bella Vista Hotel, the Shahrazed Restaurant is a true insider tip! Whether you prefer dining in a garden setting or chose to enjoy your meal in the air-conditioned indoors where traditional cushions on the floor lure with authentic Arabic flair a tables on the second floor offer a dreamlike sea view, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere. Guests from Middle East will appreciate the privacy provided by folding screens.
Specialized in middle eastern and north Indian cuisine, the restaurant is famous for its Baba Ghanoush, wine leaves stuffed with minced lamb and rice or Hummus - a creamy puree of chickpeas and sesame seed paste seasoned with lemon juice and garlic.

LEISURELY DAY
ON THE SEA
Advertorial by Kamila Delart
See also: Tropical Charters
Driving along the coastline with breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea, I realize that it has been ages since I indulged in a marine adventure. And that despite living on this beautiful island! If other people can fly across the globe to explore our magical archipelago, surely I should be able to set a day aside! Before my ‘internal boss’ interferes, reminding me of all the assignments I should be working on, I reach for my cell phone and arrange a Day Cruise with TROPICAL CHARTERS. The best idea I had in the last few months!
Boarding the Seasation a few days later, I marvel at how spacious the twin deck catamaran is. There is a lower deck with colorful Thai - triangle mats that lure to sunbathing, and when I climb the stairs I discover a huge shaded area with upholstered benches along the railing and two huge loungers in the very middle. The perfect spot to sprawl out and enjoy the view!
