Dubai Food
The distinctive Emirati cuisine, abundantly found in Dubai, includes a variety of mouth-watering and irresistible traditional dishes. Suffice it to say that your stay wouldn’t be complete without trying some of these.

Machboos 

A fine choice with which to start off your experience of Emirati foods is the much-loved machboos. This flavourful dish is made with basmati rice and also includes slow-cooked lamb, chicken or fish as well as dried lemon and spices such as cinnamon, saffron and cardamom. The hearty machboos is typically garnished with nuts and fried onions.

Shawarma

You should undoubtedly take the opportunity to try out the delectable and affordable street food known as shawarma, which is plentifully available in this city. This classic Middle Eastern speciality consists of marinated thinly sliced meat wrapped within fresh pita bread along with pickles, tahini and garlic sauce. Of course, you don’t have to always keep visiting different dining venues in the city for such culinary discoveries. That’s because the best beachfront hotels in Dubai will have various on-site restaurants for guests to choose from. These include properties like JA Palm Tree Court Dubai, which are ideal for foodies as well.

Harees 

The distinctive harees is a traditional Emirati culinary speciality that has deep roots in the culture of Dubai. This dish is prepared by slowly cooking a combination of cracked wheat and meat, typically lamb or chicken, over the course of hours. The result of this painstaking cooking process is a porridge-like creamy dish with a delightful, silky and appealing texture.

Luqaimat 

Dubai’s cuisine also includes several exquisite desserts, and a great one to try out is the delicious luqaimat. These sweet, tantalising dumpling-like culinary creations have a crispy outside as well as a fluffy, soft middle. Scented with cardamom and featuring a drizzle of date syrup and a sprinkling of sesame seeds, luqaimat is definitely difficult to resist!
