Where to eat in Dubai

The food scene in Dubai is very similar to the skyline. The chef always adds new flavors to the menu representing the numerous nationalities that call the Emirate home. And while known for its luxurious fine dining and pull-out brunch, there are places that fit even more modest budgets, from homey holes in the walls to restaurants recommended by Michelin Bib Gormand.

Chefrey Huosman's pricey and skillfully presented dishes have been running Michelin Bib Gourmand for three years at this relaxing neighborhood spot. And devout carnivorous animals will love the hearty Japanese beef cutlet sandwich. Between slices of fully toasted milk bread, you can find Australian Wagyu beef tenderloin coated with charcoal crumbs, fried (or recommended medium rare) as you like. Layer another beef slice and choked with tonkatsu sauce and honey mustard mayonnaise.

2. Chip Oman Leger, Alra Babe groceries

The main attraction of this small grocery store in the quiet lanes around Jumeirah is its legagug. That is, it's a thin crepe-like flatbread made from flour dough. The magic is in the toppings. Order with drizzle of eggs, cheese, chili sauce, or fermented fish sauce. Adding the option of Omani potato chips with crushed, scattered chips really makes the dish. Alternatively, you can go for a sweet chocolate filling instead. It was served on a paper plate and handed over to you through a hatch in the window, which is best eaten immediately on the pavement.

Kunafa is a beloved Arabic dessert of melted cheese hidden under shredded phyllopestry and soaked in sweet syrup. Find it fresh and hot in a large tray and cut into large golden slabs with Feras aldiyafa sweets. Desserts vary by region – Dubai has different versions, but Egyptian recipes require a clot cream base. Here it is Palestinian style that steals the show. Each bite of Kunafakeshnanabrushi, made with white salted naburushi cheese, is sweet, tasty and crispy.

Olfari's brother, whose food is run by three Syrian brothers, pays homage to its roots, is an unpretentious, light bistro with a two-story open kitchen in his heart. It won many accolades, including his first Michelin star earlier this year. The outstanding dish is bite-sized caviar bread. It is delicate and fluffy, filled with sour cream and topped with kalga caviar. However, save some space for dessert. The Aleppo Pistachio Cake is a tribute to the brothers' hometown, with cakes, mousse and pralines all held together in raspberry compote.

5. Cinnamon roll, Bkry

Kamil Rashid's Experimental Approach to Baking Head chef gained strong supporters seven days a week when a table queue was formed at Bkry at the Alselkar Avenue Arts Centre. Everything is homemade, including jams and spreads. Even flour is milled on-site. Warm, flake croissants are made with Tanzanian chocolate or caramelized flavored o paste, while rye cinnamon rolls are the true highlights, with cream cheese, toasted pecans and orange zest Add garnish.

6. Karuvelvilas, Avatara

The modern, playful and artistic interpretation of vegetables at the finest restaurant Avatara has become the world's first vegetarian Indian restaurant to win a Michelin star. The set menu shoots diners on an Indian culinary journey through local seasonal produce. Calvervira (bitter gourd) is a dish to try. Humble vegetables are rarely found on restaurant menus, and here they are roasted in ghee and promoted with mango gelato, crispy lattice rice and lentil dosa.
