Where: Original Wings and Rings, DIFC
How much: AED 200 for two people (approx.)
Cuisine: American
Recommended: Boneless Wings with Crazy sauce
OW&R has become a popular spot since its opening at The Liberty House, DIFC. Serving the best wings and rings (we tasted and certify that), along with a range of alcoholic drinks and cocktails, they’ve used the perfect crowd-pulling formula.
Food:
Although they are famous for their wings, but they serve a range of other delectable and unique dishes and drinks like Gyros Quesadilla and Buffalo Mary (to name a few).
Gyros Quesadilla: We love the twist on this traditional Mexican dish. The flour tortilla is stuffed with juicy gyro meat, seasoned onions, diced tomatoes, and cheese; mmmm!
Wings: What makes it one of a kind is the meat that is used, and this is served exclusively at OW&R. Going to OW&R and not having their wings is like going to Paris and not visiting the Eiffel tower; it is a must! Their wings are crunchy and crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside – just the way we like it.
It can be confusing to choose your sauce, since everything sounds good, but the Crazy sauce caught our attention – a mix of Sweet BBQ and Roasted Garlic sauce. Next, you need to choose the spiciness of your wings: mild, x-hot, atomic and the One Million. We dared and tried the One Million, and mind you, we were on fire.
W
e recommend their boneless wings as they are easier to eat and are cooked to perfection – crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside.
Drinks
Enjoy your wings and rings with a chilled beer, Apple Martini, or Buffalo Mary – a fiery twist on the traditional Bloody Mary. Their drinks offers are off the hook [take a look at the link below].
Recommended: Their zingy Strawberry Margaritas hit the spot with the right ratio of ice and mix [but of course, if you’re a beer person, you won’t forego a cold one in favour of a cocktail].
Ambience and Service:
The ambiance is akin to what one would expect from a sports bar: relaxed, buzzing and casual. The space is inviting, ideal for get togethers with mates to watch a match, or just chat over great food and drinks.
The staff represents the same values – casual, friendly and highly attentive. Special shout-out to Christina, the restaurant supervisor, who also made sure we pair the best sauce with our wings!
Verdict:
If you’re looking for a laid-back bar serving alcoholic drinks with the best wings in town, this is your spot. They have special offers on drinks all week round [Isn’t that good news?].
