Who doesn’t love a good meal? We all do. And sometimes it’s the smallest and\u00a0quaintest venues that boast the best stuff\u00a0on the menu. From street faves to fuller meals, here are the 10 best foods to indulge in without breaking the bank. Plus, we’ve shared recipes to help you recreate the magic at home. Thank us later!<\/p>\n

1. Manakish from\u00a0Zaatar w Zeit, Sheikh Zayed Road\u00a0(600\u00a0522\u00a0231)<\/h3>\n

Manakeesh is the\u00a0Middle East’s answer to a pizza. Expect\u00a0freshly baked dough topped with heavenly Kashkawan cheese (most often made from a mix of cow and sheep’s milk). And this deliciousness costs only AED 21.<\/p>\n

2. Pani puri from\u00a0Bombay Chowpatty, Karama (04 396 4937)<\/h3>\n

This Indian street snack is a hollow crisp usually\u00a0stuffed with a potato mixture. The server then dips it in spicy\u00a0flavoured water and a tamarind sauce before handing it over to you. The tricky bit\u00a0is managing to put the entire piece in your mouth (yes,\u00a0at one go) to experience the burst of flavours. It costs AED 7 for a plate of 6 pieces.<\/p>\n

Try making them at home with the help of this recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Shawarma from\u00a0Automatic, Jumeirah Beach Road (04 434 2355)<\/h3>\n

AED 7 will fetch you a regular size and AED 12 a large size of this juicy meat shawarma. It’s best had when hot and tastes equally good with the\u00a0chicken filling.<\/p>\n

This<\/a> version works well for home kitchens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4. Chicken Peshawari from\u00a0Ravi’s, Satwa (04 331 5353)<\/h3>\n

Some call it Satwa’s hidden gem, while others\u00a0call it Satwa’s star, but whatever you decide to call Ravi’s…just remember it produces some of the best Pakistani food in Dubai. Dish in question:\u00a0the chicken Peshawari that’s most often had\u00a0with a side of naan to wipe out the delicious gravy.<\/p>\n

It tastes just as good when made using this<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5. Veggie\u00a0burger from\u00a0Jebel Al Noor, 2nd December Street (04 398 9800)<\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This popular cafeteria located on a little street in Satwa serves a burger perfect for vegetarians. Along with a veggie patty (which we ask them to remove), the burger is also stuffed with fries,\u00a0cabbage, cheese and\u00a0slathered with mayo and\u00a0ketchup. All for just AED 6.<\/p>\n

If you decide to get creative in the kitchen, try this<\/a> burger.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Garlic bread from Midnight Cafe, Karama (04 396 4529)<\/h3>\n

Described on their menu as garlic bread ‘like nowhere else’, they’re so damn right.\u00a0Picture a log of cheesy goodness with a hint of garlic and chilli. Prices start from AED 3.50.<\/p>\n

You can’t go wrong with this<\/a>\u00a0easy-peasy\u00a0recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7. Satay from Betawi Cafe, Karama\u00a0<\/h3>\n

If it’s your first shot at Indonesian food, make sure it’s Betawi. Consider the\u00a0chicken satay\u00a0(AED 32) here a meal in itself with skewers dripping bold flavours and a portion of rice adding the carb value to the meal.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a>‘s how you can bring Indonesia to your kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8. Falafel from\u00a0Aroos Damascus, Deira (04 221 9825)<\/h3>\n

A bite into the\u00a0doughnut-like patty made from ground chick peas reveals a moist and crumbly inside. It’s\u00a0best had dipped in hummus with some warm Arabic bread on the side. Enjoy a plate for\u00a0AED 20.<\/p>\n

Check out the real recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

9. Momos from\u00a0Yalla Momos, Karama (04 385 2233)<\/h3>\n

With so many dining options available in Karama, it is hard for any eatery to stand out. But luckily this one does because of its\u00a0momos (Nepal’s version of dumplings). The case is light and the fillings are delicious. Play it safe with the chicken ones or try the\u00a0mushroom and cheese ones if you’re all for food adventure. Prices start from AED 12 onward.<\/p>\n

This<\/a> recipe will make you a momo master.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
