The Nail Spa

Various locations around Dubai- visit website for the full list
With various spas across the UAE, we took a trip to The Nail Spa Dubai Mall – a welcome respite from the craziness of shoppers and tourists. The treatment rooms are adorned with candles whilst calming music plays quietly in the background, giving you the chance to switch off even if just for half an hour. And whilst enduring a wax. Although with their brand new hot wax, Cirepil – fresh over from France, pain is minimal and the process…

Kiddy-Kutz

Don’t be put off by the fact that this salon is part of the rather overwhelming electronic lights and noise of Fun City – nor that it is a little shabby around the edges.

Profile Mens Salon, Harvey Nichols

Mall of The Emirates, Dubai

Don’t think we’ve gone mad – yes this is a salon for adults but they also offer children’s cuts (when booked in advance) and this is a great option for mamas who want their offspring to sport a property styled or trendy hairdo.

The creation of wonder-mama, publisher and food lover Dareen Charafeddine, BookMunch offers all too rare ‘home from home’ dining experience we all crave.

Comparable to a traditional Italian trattoria, the interiors are warm and inviting and there’s a terrace for people watching and dining al fresco.  Refreshingly, the children’s menu is creative and not overloaded with deep-fried processed food – there’s a wood fired oven which produces the most delicious pizzas and pasta is…

You can choose from a gluten-free, regular or wheat base and even decide to go for a vegan pizza topped with vegan cheese. The great thing about these pizzas is that you can throw all sorts of healthy stuff on there without the kids even noticing. And that is exactly what the people at Zpizza…

A personal Sassy Mama favourite is this local little eatery that serves up perfectly bbq’d, boneless chicken on a mountain (really it is almost that big) of rice with all the right trimmings of salsa and veggies etc. If we have time we tend to eat in, the kids love how you can eat off the floor like a bedouin.

You can’t book, but we tend to hit places early anyways. And we guarantee you this will go down well with the entire family. Kids menu is good (not good for you perhaps but hey), the cobb salad is seriously awesome. What’s not to love?

OK, we know it’s not the most glamorous place, but it’s certainly the cheapest, with most options setting you back less than 20 dirhams (and saving money feels great in a city like Dubai, right?). Better still, there’s a free supervised play area downstairs to drop kids before or after you dine – and then of course there’s all the shopping for self-assemble furniture and pointless bits and pieces you really don’t need to be done right after!

If you and the kids like your meals accompanied by the view of boats bobbing in the marina, it doesn’t get much better than Café Bateel on Marina Walk. Let the kids splash around in the fountains (bring a spare change of clothes as they’re going to get wet!), before digging into some seriously delicious dishes. Want to get something healthy into the kids? We recommend the fruit platter as dessert – it’s big enough for the whole family!
