The weekend kicked off in good style as guests gathered for the unveiling of Ushna, the new modern Indian restaurant at The Souk Qaryat Al Beri.
Jasmine garlands hung from people’s necks while the DJ got everyone swaying to a chilled Indian-house beat. Those who didn’t fancy dancing could relax and admire the waterside view from the outside seating, others chose to recline in the eating areas on comfy ‘swing’ chairs suspending from the ceiling indoors.  Canapés were sampled and drink flowed as Ushna celebrated being the newest restaurant to open its doors to the public.
We’ll have a full review of the restaurant next week.
