DUBAI FOOD | 10 AUTHENTIC Restaurants In Dubai 🔥

There are many reasons why Dubai is one of the most iconic cities in the world but most essentially the food. Loving it? Disclaimer, it doesn't matter if you're not planning to visit Dubai anytime soon. The only requirement to enjoy this video is having a passion for food and culture. I tried my best to visit as many restaurants as I could in the area of Bur Dubai and I have to say the experience was splendid. Interesting facts about this side of the city is that Bur Dubai is the heart of the old city of Dubai. In here you'll find real bazaars, traditional architecture and authentic food spots. Something else to know is that there's a big Indian culture in this area as for centuries people from India have migrated here. In fact my friend from India Shashi told me that there are some streets here like the Mina Bazaar that feel exactly like India. That being said let's get started with Calicut Paragon. As you may know there's a big Indian culture here in Dubai and I was recommended Calicut Paragon by a few of my friends and clients from South India and they said this is one of the best restaurants in the city for South Indian food which apparently is one of the best cuisines in India. Oh look at those amazing mocktails. Gosh this place is amazing guys I'm telling you. It's special for Malabari food and this restaurant has been ranked as India's best restaurant for coastal cuisine by Time's Now Foodie Awards. I promise you you will not leave this place disappointed or with an empty stomach. I'm ready to do something crazy. I've never had a fish curry before and that's what I'm gonna have today and I'm excited. Yeah that's what I wanted to say. We started with Pandana Chicken for appetizer which is a chicken that's marinated with aromatic spices and it's wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves. It's dip fried, it's golden, it's juicy and delicious. Nico ordered the most staple creamy mouth-watering butter chicken dish and a side of this super fluffy paratha bread that you can't have enough of. As I said earlier I ordered a sample of fish curries and side dishes. In all honesty the experience here was amazing. The service was also really great so if you go to Dubai make sure you pass by here and you ask for Manish. He will take good care of you. The owner approached us to thank us for being here and he told me that this is one of the most traditional desserts and he explained that this black thing that you see here is natural sugar from palm trees and coconuts. They don't have any additives in this entire restaurant. All natural spices. We got this complimentary coconut pudding and I don't like desserts but it's actually very good. Pure coconut. Oh my god. Yeah. It's like pure coconut. Delicious. Our next place is Pudani Deli, an Indian restaurant with flavors from the old Delhi. Guys this restaurant is number 15 of 8156 restaurants in Dubai. It has five stars and is amazing. Alright guys so we of course are fans of butter chicken so we got two butter chicken curry dishes. One for each. It's our last time joining Indian food in Dubai so we had to get what we love. We also got a chicken appetizer over here. We want to build on that protein. We have naan bread, garlic bread and just plain bread and let's enjoy. You can't go wrong with this visit. We visited two times. We loved it. The service was amazing and it has decent prices. Ready for another Indian restaurant adventure? Hey guys if you want to get out of the luxurious part of Dubai and you want to enjoy the classic authentic things this is one of the restaurants that you can go and we're having Indian chips from tangerine sauce and also mint sauce. They're both spicy, they're both delicious and we'll show you what our main plates are going to be but so far so good. Coming up next, mint slam with herbs. Smells really good. It's pretty spicy but it's good. Next we have a butter chicken and then we have chicken masala. Then it's on the spicy side. I love spicy. Then we have garlic bread and we have butter bread. We're super excited. Let's get on it. Now we're taking a break in the middle of the day to come visit our friend from this hotel called Greyscale. We got here originally because they have an amazing happy hour deal where you buy one, get one for free and they bring you these huge beers for half the price of what you would normally get anywhere here in Dubai and yeah that's how we met our friend and now we're here getting education on Indian food which I'm super grateful for. Hey guys I'm here with my friend Shushi and we are planning to eat at this restaurant at the hotel Greyscale. He's gonna tell us what he recommends you eat here. I am so grateful to have connected with such wonderful people in Dubai. We met Shushi a few days prior to this date. We all clicked instantly and had super long conversations about life. Today we came back to say hi and get a drink and he wanted to teach us more about Indian food. He recommended we go to Bukhara, a traditional Indian restaurant with a contemporary twist. It has a 4.2 rating in Zomato and everyone describes it as a place with a beautiful ambience and great food. Although we didn't try the food here, we tried one of their most delicious desserts. Okay guys so our amazing friend Shushi recommended us to try this ice cream which is statue ice cream with vermicelli. Oh vermicelli noodles. It's a little hard. Oh my god it's like a very hard. Okay I want to show you guys it's like a very hard piece of ice cream. With this delicious dessert we can say goodbye to Indian restaurants and now allow me to take you to one of the cutest restaurants for Emirati food in Dubai. Hello good morning.

To finalize I want to tell you about one restaurant that is not in Bur Dubai but instead is inside one of the largest and most epic malls in the world. The Dubai mall. If you're staying in Bur Dubai simply take the metro and it will take you right inside the mall. Hey we are at this restaurant called Beba Del. They also have a restaurant in the mall. It has the beach view but in here it has the fountain view at the Dubai mall. Quite pretty and we're gonna see how's the food. So we have the cheese rolls which are like spring rolls and inside it has cheese. It's delicious. And these are mini empanadas that are not empanadas. It has another name. I'll put the name down below but inside it has beef. All right the show just finished. It's really cool. It has music and like the beautiful fountains going up and down. Yeah and you guys can find the show every 30 minutes till 11 p.m. It's right here in the fountain in front of the Burj Khalifa behind the Dubai mall which is the most amazing mall we've ever seen in our lives. It's like a three-story aquarium with gray white sharks and animals I can't even describe. Bowling, ice skating. All the stores you can ever imagine. Amazing restaurants which by the way great tip to see the fountain show. Come to a nice restaurant because after eating you can enjoy the show from a better view. I think it's better from the better view from up here upstairs from the bridge level. Definitely. So you love it? I love it. It's like a Disneyland for adults. We're loving it. One day I read a quote that said that the gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands and that's so true. I had an amazing time in Dubai guys. I was so lucky to cross paths with amazing good-hearted people that I will always remember that are today in my DMs saying hi, how are you, how are you doing and that's the biggest gift that I bring with me home from Dubai. Thank you so much.
