Dine at Rohini at Mövenpick JLT To Try The Rose-Inspired Gold-Flaked Rasmalai

Rohini at Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Lakes Towers is reimagining tradition with a rose-inspired menu that’s as nostalgic as it is luxurious. At its heart lies a showstopper: Rasmalai infused with rose, layered with white chocolate clotted cream, and finished with 24K edible gold flakes. This modern take on the beloved Indian dessert is floral, fragrant, and unapologetically bold. The menu celebrates the timeless use of rose in Indian cuisine, with rose petals and rose water enhancing everything from rich biryanis and Mughlai curries to dreamy kulfis and chocolate brownies kissed with rose. It’s a sensory journey you won’t want to miss.
