Yes the call was for this purpose. I’m sorry you can’t make it this time. Looking forward to see you at the next meet, Inshallah. And yeah, I just read your signature. Bohot, bohot Mubarak ho. 
sunset_eyes: Seems like it’s going to be a mini-meet this time around. If Gina, nakhan and Addie are fine with Marina, we could all meet there. Otherwise Jumeirah would be a good option too. I’m not really a fan of Sheesha anyway to be honest. Haven’t even tried one and don’t really want to. And yeah, here’s one of the bad reviews I read about Chandeliar:
If we go for Jumeirah, I’d suggest Chicken Tikka Inn because they have fantastic Desi food. We would also avoid the “oogling” problem because it’s in a rather upscale area so it’s mostly families there, ie it’s “female friendly”.
Since we’re talking about dinner, I’d suggest we meet on 1st January around 7 pm in front of Chicken Tikka Inn, which is right on Jumeirah Beach Road close to Jumeirah Mosque. They have outdoor seating so whoever arrives first can take a table there already.

nakhan and Addie have my mobile number and I’ll send it to Gina and sunset_eyes by PM, so that you can call me in case you have troubles finding the place.
From tomorrow onwards until Monday I’ll be offline myself as I’ll be travelling. But if nobody objects to Chicken Tikka Inn, I’ll consider this as the confirmed location for the meet.
