Street Food in Dubai

Al Mallah Restaurant – Dhiyafah Street 

This Middle Eastern street food restaurant is famous for their special chicken shawarma (aed 7 for sandwich, aed 35 for plate). The Shawarma is basically sliced meat off a spit, like a kebab. It is available from 4pm onwards. The shish tawook (aed 9 for sandwich, 35 for plate) is also similar to shawarma/kebab, except it comes in chunks, not sliced. The wrap is very soft and gradually melts in your mouth. The cubes of chicken are beautifully marinated and smoky, and they are dipped in a well-balanced yogurt that isn’t too sour.

This dish is slow cooked for seven to eight hours, which results in a paste-like consistency, blending the flavors of spices, meat, barley and wheat. The flavors take some getting used to since  the bread is too thick and the curry not spicy enough.
