Dubai Food

Dubai might be known for its glitz and glamour but the food scene here is also as diverse as its population. Whether you’re craving traditional Emirati dishes or something with a modern twist, the city’s restaurants have got you covered. Here’s a closer look at five of such spots that offer more than just great food—they provide unforgettable dining experiences.

Al Fanar at Dubai Festival City

Step into Al Fanar at Dubai Festival City and you’re immediately transported back to the Dubai of the 1960s. The restaurant’s decor, complete with traditional Emirati architecture and vintage artefacts, sets the stage for a culinary journey through time. The moment you set foot inside, you would immediately stop feeling you are dining at a sleek and modern mall!

Their menu is packed with authentic Emirati dishes like “Machboos” (a spiced rice dish with chicken or lamb) and “Balaleet” (sweet vermicelli with eggs). Sitting outside with a view of the Dubai Creek just makes the experience even more special. It’s a perfect spot to savour the flavours of old Dubai.

And the desserts are to die for! My personal favourite was the pistachio cheesecake.

Allo Beirut at Dubai City Walk

If you’re in the mood for some vibrant Lebanese street food, Allo Beirut at City Walk is the place to be. The lively atmosphere and delicious dishes capture the essence of Beirut’s bustling food scene. From Shawarma and Falafel to Manakish, each bite is bursting with authentic Lebanese flavours.

The location and the interior adds to the vibe while the freshness of the ingredients and the traditional recipes make you feel like you’re dining on the streets of Beirut.

Apart from the food, the management was quite friendly and cheerful so whether you’re sitting down for a meal or just grabbing a quick bite, Allo Beirut won’t disappoint.

Indya by Vineet at Le Royal Meridien

Think of any desi dish and put an enchanting spell on it, and you’ll have what is served at Indya – a modern Indian restaurant that reimagines traditional dishes with a contemporary twist. Chef Vineet Bhatia, a Michelin-starred culinary genius, brings creativity and flair to every dish.

Try the “Dhokla Chaat” or “Butter Chicken Samosa” for a fresh take on familiar flavours, or dive into the “Coconut Prawn Curry” for something truly unique. The elegant setting and impeccable service make dining here an unforgettable experience, perfect for those looking to indulge in sophisticated Indian cuisine.

At Indya by Vineet, we took the starters for a main course only to realise that their main courses, unlike other Michelin-starred restaurants, were quite sizable and highly appetizing.

Wave House at Atlantis Aquaventure

Wave House at Atlantis Aquaventure isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an adventure. This lively spot combines great food with fun activities, making it a hit with families and friends. The menu offers a variety of international comfort foods, from juicy burgers and wood-fired pizzas to fresh salads and seafood. What sets Wave House apart is the entertainment: a bowling alley, arcade games, and even a surf simulator. It’s a fantastic place to relax after a day at the waterpark or to spend a fun-filled evening out.

All these eateries offer something unique, reflecting the diverse culinary landscape of Dubai. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, these restaurants promise not just great food, but memorable dining experiences that showcase the best of what this bustling city is all about.
