Cafe 302, Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana, Abu Dhabi, UAE
I woke up today feeling more refreshed then ever and realized I had even lost a few pounds (hope it sticks!). Can it be from the fresh healthy drink choices I made at Cafe 302’s juice bar yesterday?! A drink called “Detox” caught my attention; it is juiced from carrot, celery, cucumber, beetroot, apple, and lemon. The combination of flavours put my taste-buds in full gear and I was surprised I had completely devoured my drink in no time! I felt proud of myself for making a simple healthy lifestyle choice!
Here are 10 reasons why we all need to JUICE more:
- Provides the much needed source of Enzymes
- Quick Absorption – liquids provides the nutrients to our body more quickly
- Healthy Sugars – there are natural sugars found in fruits/vegetables
- More Energy – less digestion is required, providing us with more energy
- Source of Vitamins and Minerals
- Method of Fast Weight Loss – high intake of fruits/vegetables without the fat and carbohydrates
- Detoxifies the Body – draws out acids in the body and helps release the toxins through the body
- Disease Preventative – studies have shown it will prevent common diseases like cancer, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases
- Improves the Immune System
- Convenient and Fast to consume
Cafe 302 not only offers the amazing “Detox” drink, but also other options like “The Cure” made with carrot, pomegranate, soy milk, and honey or “The Defender” made with pomegranate, grapefruit, pineapple, and carrot. The names speak for themselves! Pay a visit to the Cafe 302 Juice Bar for a drink, snack or meal! As they say it’s the best place to EAT, DRINK, CHAT!

I was invited to the Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana to sample the menu at Cafe 302. Here are the main highlights from their menu:
Appetizers
Spinach and Kale Salad – dates, feta cheese, cashew and pomegranate dressing. I found this dish to be an excellent starter item either for a small lunch or as an appetizer for sharing. I love having dates and pomegranates in my salad for the sweetness. This salad makes me actually enjoy eating kale!
Bruschetta – burrata cheese, crushed tomatoes, olives and oregano. The portion size of the bruschetta was large and chunky compared to the traditional Italian bruschetta I’ve had in the past. This is a great starter appetizer for 4 people as it comes in 4 equal parts. Currently, they offer 4 other types of bruschettas but I would suggest this one for cheese-lovers like me.
Mains
Braised Beef Short Rib on Rustic Roll – herb aioli, pickled onions, aged cheddar, and rocca. The BEST beef short rib sandwich in town. This is one of the most popular selections in the cafe and I cannot agree more! The braised beef short rib is cooked to perfection and the sauce is mouth-watering!
Dessert
Potted Banana Cream Pie – macadamia nut crust and soft caramel. Executive Chef Maren was spot on for this last dessert. The potted banana cream was moist and light. The caramelized bananas it comes with completes the amazing presentation. The portion size was large enough for 2, I’m glad my friend Winnie had joined me to share the food. It really is the perfect place to EAT, DRINK, CHAT!
