While Dubai may be known for its stunning attractions, don’t forget this emirate offers some amazing culinary adventures too. Here are some of the best dishes to try.
Machboos
An all-time favourite across the region, Machboos is a traditional rice dish that can be found at Dubai eateries and Palm Jumeirah restaurants. Generally served with chicken, lamb or shrimp, the dish is made utilising ingredients like cinnamon, onions, cardamom and dried lemon.
Tabbouleh
The health conscious foodie should definitely look to sample some Tabbouleh which is a salad that is full of fresh flavours. Available at restaurants like Crescendo at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort, this dish is usually made with cucumber, tomatoes and green onions which are given an added boost through mint seasoning.
Margoogat
This stew which is tomato-based is made with meats like chicken infused with “bezar” a traditionally used spice mixture which gives this dish a distinctive flavour. Other ingredients such as cumin and turmeric are also used, though you will be able to find different variations at Dubai restaurants.
Chebab
A true breakfast treat, Chebab is a type of pancake that has a perfect mix of sweet and sour flavours; the reason for this is due to the fact that it combines both sour cheese and date syrup which blend perfectly and help get the day off to the ideal start!
