Dubai, United Arab Emirates
6 dishes to eat in Dubai, what is in them, and where they belong.
Spiced rice with meat or fish, dried lime and baharat — the Emirati national dish, closest to a biryani.
Yeasted dough balls fried and soaked in date syrup, eaten especially during Ramadan.
Stacked, spit-roasted meat in bread with garlic sauce and pickles — the everyday street food, best from a busy corner shop.
Served as burgers, slow-cooked stews and in chocolate. Distinctly local and no longer a novelty item.
Levantine flatbread baked with za'atar and olive oil, the standard breakfast across the region.
Strong tea boiled with evaporated milk, cardamom and sugar, sold from drive-through cafeterias for a couple of dirhams.
