‪finjan Cafe‬

I must admit they have picture worthy foods here because of the presentation. Only tried a couple of their cakes and other sweets. Quite a busy place packed with cars outside waiting for their orders.

Best desserts ...
Best Sushi ever :)
The menu has so many varieties that you can't decide what to choose. From time to time they update their menu and add new food items in creative ways. In Finjan there is always someone new to try. Loved it.

For months now we have been intrigued by the Instagram account of this small cafe in the city centre, that has become synonymous with the innovative presentation of its food and drink items. Beverages are served in everything from lightbulbs to hospital blood bags, some of the drinks smoke and are presented in a variety of florescent colours. Having seen these images flood our feed, we knew that we couldn’t visit Fujairah without a trip to Finjan Cafe.

From the outside it is nothing special, looking like any backstreet karak tea place you would see in the Emirates and even upon venturing inside, we weren’t sure if we had perhaps been mistaken. Inside there is one table with a couple of chairs and a counter at which you order your food (no sign of innovative gastronomy yet). Though once we were handed the menu by the extremely friendly staff, all our fears faded away, as we were overwhelmed by the abundance of choice and the presentation methods.

We opted for the dynamite shrimp (better than P.F. Chang’s) and dynamite chicken, the lotus cheesecake and lotus smash, complete with an extra syringe of lotus sauce. Plus some lightbulbs full of berry soda in funky green and red colouration. 

This is definitely one of these places where you order from your car and wait for your order to be delivered to you. Despite all the gimmickry, the quality of the food was as good as the pricing. The presentation certainly makes Finjan stand out from the crowd of other similar restaurants and is in turn creating a significant social media buzz, if only Finjan could be franchised for a branch in Abu Dhabi.

Very busy shop that offers sweets and beverages. I tried their lotus sweet which is a try to copy switch resturant's desserts. It was decent.
