Five things to do for that perfect desi weekend

Here are our recommendations

The big, fat Bollywood brunch
Called the Hitchki Brunch at Bazxar DIFC, this one promises Bollywood songs, nimbu paani, and of course, loads of Indian dishes. Think Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, Manglorean Chicken Curry and more. Plus, there will be Hostel Ka Maggi. If you do happen to gorge on, do let us know if they did a good filmy job at hosting you. Dh199 onwards, Saturday, 1pm to 4pm

Dear India shoes
Inspired by the dynamic colours, rich traditions and decorative culture of India, footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti has designed a line-up of embellished styles for men and women. "As a designer, India offered incredible creative fodder," he says, "I wanted to bring that vibrancy to a sophisticated, modern silhouette." Just a few reasons why you should window shop, if not, buy - the shoes feature handmade round cotton tassels, golden diamond-shaped 3D studs, a sprinkling of pearls, precious gold, and burgundy embroidery, etc.
