What to expect

Discover what Indians really love to eat, beyond the clichéd naan and butter chicken, in Dubai's oldest, most vibrant Indian neighborhood.

Savor a mouthwatering spectrum of traditional Indian food tastings across 5 North and South Indian eateries in the area. Eat Indian food at places rarely listed in the guidebooks but heavily frequented by long-time Indian residents of the city. Join a small group of 6 to 8 and hear stories of the neighborhood and Indian food customs from a resident Indian guide who grew up in the city.

Learn about the transformation of fermented rice and lentil batters into a variety of crispy, spongy, or crumbly creations to dip into chutneys. Experience the Punjabi chicken tikka that most old-timers reminisce about, from a restaurant that’s been lighting its coals since 1977. Visit the Indian grocery store preferred by most Indian mothers back in the day and get up to speed on “masalas,” “daals” and more (optional, based on time).

Tasting menu:

  • ‘Chaat’ Counter - Three types of popular Indian street snacks: chutney-filled crisp ‘puris,’ puffed rice & mangoes; spiced yogurt, potato, and chutney over crunchy dough spheres. (G/N/D)
  • Street-side Fritter Stall* - Mashed potato patties fried in chickpea flour batter and crisp onion & green pea samosa with green chutney. (G)*Excluded during May to Sept.
