Dubai is no exception to this rule; there is much culinary fusion to be found in this cosmopolitan community and to help you plan what food to try we have compiled the following essential foods and restaurants to try.<\/p>\n<p>Due perhaps to the many Indian ex-patriots residing in Dubai, or simply because Indian food is just so delicious; there is no shortage of great Indian food to be sampled in Dubai. So to prevent you from growing weary of the available options, we suggest that you try these 3 Indian restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Ashiana<\/h4>\n<p>This restaurant\u2019s d\u00e9cor is rustic and bohemian, leaving you feeling very comfortable in these plush surroundings. The service is great and really adds to the homely feeling that characterises the restaurant. We suggest the Murgh Tikka which is invariably cooked to perfection and will impress no matter where you hail from. Ashiana is also fairly cheap, which enables you to add some well-deserved drinks to the bill without feeling too guilty!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/96955-fd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3462 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/96955-fd-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Cuisine Dubai\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Antique Bazaar<\/h4>\n<p>The surroundings to which you eat here are fantastic and the decoration is very well thought out. Often a live band playing traditional Indian music will accompany the diners enjoying their food. The service is impeccable and the staff are thoroughly attentive to your needs throughout your dining experience. Food-wise, you can\u2019t go wrong with anything on this menu, but we suggest their zesty Machli Amri Masala.<\/p>\n<h4>Asha\u2019s<\/h4>\n<p>Arguably the best Indian restaurant in Dubai and definitely amongst the best restaurants in general, Asha\u2019s is where you go when you want the perfect curry. Presentation of food is immaculate here, you can be sure to impress guests here should that be your wish. Wherever you eat, the environment around you is important; Asha\u2019s combines traditional elements of Indian and Pakistani styles with a clear contemporary streak. The food is exceptional, but we particularly recommend the Mirch Baingan Ka Salan.<\/p>\n<p>Like everything in Dubai, food is a commodity and you can choose to partake in the typical Arabic offerings or any worldwide dish that you can imagine. But it would be a shame to settle for the normal when Dubai has dishes to excite your senses! For a flavour of the typical food that is consumed throughout Dubai, we now take a look at specific meals and what you can expect to eat for each.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Breakfast<\/h3>\n<p>For breakfast, bread is a popular choice with eggs generally being the accompaniment; cheese and date syrup are other popular breakfast treats. We heartily recommend that you try Shakshuka, a warming dish featuring poached eggs in a rich spicy tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/71462-food.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3463 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/71462-food-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Dubai Cuisine\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Snacking<\/h4>\n<p>For a tasty snack look no further than the shawarma. These delicious treats are akin to a Turkish kebab and can have any kind of meat within them, along with a generous helping of salad, sauces and pickled vegetables. No trip here would be complete without trying shawarma at least once.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Main Meals<\/h3>\n<p>Fish is the most common staple of main meals in Dubai, so expect expertly cooked fish dishes combining the perfect ingredients. Every type of fish based meal can be eaten here and the choice is overwhelming. But Bu Qtair is the place to go for fish, choose curried fish and allow your senses to be overloaded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/109658-coffee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3464 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/109658-coffee-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"drink dubai\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Drinks<\/h3>\n<p>As you are probably aware, alcoholic beverages are only permitted in specific areas such as hotel\u2019s and golf clubs. But tasty non-alcoholic drinks are available all over this enchanting city. Tea and coffee is regularly consumed and both are available in abundance throughout Dubai. They can be flavoured with cardamom, saffron, and mint to make them even more memorable and delicious!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;To truly experience the amalgamation of cultures in Dubai, one must indulge in a fare of eats stretching from the heart of old Dubai that encompasses historic areas catering unpretentious but soul-feeding kitchens fueled by immigrant cultures along with the offerings towards the glitz and glamorous side, famously labeled as Downtown Dubai that essentially serves an array of fine dining cuisines inculcating culinary gastronomic creations for one and all to savour.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jasmine Pereira, Food and Travel Blogger:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/peartreediaries.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/peartreediaries.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/where.png\" alt=\"where\" width=\"1140\" height=\"65\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"what to see in dubai\"><\/a>What to See in Dubai<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/60497-Dubai.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.co.in\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/60497-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Burj Khalifa\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Burj Khalifa<\/h4>\n<p>The Burj Khalifa is one of the most famous buildings in the world, not only is it the tallest in the world it is also home to the world\u2019s highest swimming pool, restaurant and nightclub!
