Indian food is loved all over the world and when in Sharjah you can have an authentic Indian meal at Bukhara. The décor is artfully down up in a typical Maharajan style, as they say, “fit for a king” and be treated to great service and food. The Dal Bhukara comes highly recommended as it is prepared overnight to turn out delicious and creamy, a must-try.
Best Arabic food in Fujairah: Al Meshwar
When you’re in Fujairah this is hands down the best Arabic food in town. If you’re in the mood for any kind of kebabs, fatayers, or hummus this is the place to go. Settle down with a nice sheesha (something they’re very well-known for) and get comfortable with fantastic tabbouleh and salad.
Best restaurant in Ras Al Khaimah: Thunder Road Pizza and Grill
Food franchises sometimes get a bad rep and if you add Italian American cuisine in the UAE to the mix and it pretty much sounds a bit impossible, yet that’s exactly what Thunder Road has achieved. It boasts reasonable prices, huge portions and maintains excellent food and service. The interiors are one of the restaurant’s big draws, it builds and fun and lively atmosphere for all, a great place to bring friends on the weekend.
Sikkar Beirut restaurant in Umm Al Quwain
Get your Mezzah on at Sikkat Beirut, one of the best restaurants in town. They have a wide range of cuisines for you to pick from American to Portuguese and Lebanese. It’s simple, understated yet greatly admired for the deliciousness on the plate. It’s always fresh bread and well-cooked meats. The interiors are very nicely done up in a classic railway station style with wooden doors and wall art.
