Rolls N Rice is literally a stone throw away from my office
and hence I almost treat this as my pantry and have food from here very often.
It’s also one of the very few affordable restaurants in the
vicinity since it’s located at Al Nahyan camp which is a commercial hub; most
restaurants situated here are quite overpriced.
Coming to the food, it's not one of those restaurants with
200 options on their menu, they have about 8 - 10 options in their main course
and about the same in the rolls section which makes it easier for one to come
to a decision.
Unfortunately I haven't tried out the rolls yet but tried
out quite a few other things such as Tarragon Chicken, Laban Chicken, Spicy
Grilled Fish, Fish in Tahina and their mixed platter.
I can't really tell you what is good and what's not here,
because honestly everything I've had here is really good.
However I can advise you that if you're a fan of spicy food
then you should opt for Tarragon Chicken and if spicy isn't your thing you
should stick to Chicken Laban which is basically grilled chicken in laban
(yogurt) and herbs. Unlike most other places their laban chicken wasn't dry
thankfully.

What I would really recommend here is the spicy grilled
fish, I absolutely love this, this is glazed with spicy marinade and is
extremely juicy.

Also similarly if you aren't a fan of spicy food, opt for
the fish in tahina which is grilled fish in a garlic-lemon-tahina sauce, which
tastes a little tangy.
All these dishes are accompanied with saffron rice and
mashed potato. I don't really like the mashed potato here though so I always
exchange that for its fries.
Moving on to the mixed platter consists of spring rolls,
mozzarella sticks and potato wedges. Each appetizer is better than the other
and the sweet chilly sauce and mozzarella sauce that comes along with it, compliments
it really well.

It's not a very huge place though and can probably accommodate
only 20 - 25 people and hence gets a little cramped up when it’s crowded.
As much as I like their friendly and welcoming staff, their
service is quite slow and the food takes longer than usual to arrive.
Also if you're a fan of 60's music, you would have a good time
here with their music collection.The also have free WiFi.
Lastly I love how they have a milkshake on their menu named after a girl who sent her recipe for a competition they had on their Facebook page.
I would rate this place a 4.5/5.
