You will be surprised, but in Jumeirah you can taste not only the national dishes of the Emirates. Here you will find many restaurants with cuisines from other countries of the world — French, Italian, Mexican.
Jumeirah cuisine is quite diverse. Be ready for the abundance of spices, without them here is not a single dish, except for desserts. In all other dishes, starting from charcoal-cooked fish and ending with stewed vegetables, cooks are sure to put several types of spices at once.
In those restaurants where national food is served, it is worth tasting dishes from veal and lamb. They are very tender and flavorful. Poultry dishes should not be ignored, as the cooks use recipes known only to them. Don't forget to taste real Arabian coffee in local restaurants. No one will ever serve you such as it is here in your homeland.
However, if you want to try traditional Emirati dishes, we recommend paying attention to:
Al Harees — a national UAE dish made from meat and wheat;
Al Machboos — a famous dish made with rice, meat, and dried lemon;
shawarma — yes, it is in the Arab countries that you can truly understand what real shawarma is.
