Due to its extraordinarily diverse demography (85% of its resident population comes from over 200 countries), Dubai has become a culinary hub unparalleled anywhere else on the planet. Painstakingly created and developed over the past half-century by talented cooks and chefs from all nationalities, with the initial aim of feeding their own communities with “food from home”, today’s culinary landscape is as ethnic and authentic as it is varied and diverse. In fact, stringent quality control standards and the use of the best ingredients have resulted in many expats saying that they prefer the food in Dubai to their home countries. Only in Dubai, no more than a 20-minute drive separates Iraqi, Persian, Lebanese, Syrian, Emirati, Saudi, Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Afghani restaurants of the highest level. It is, without doubt, the last undiscovered culinary destination in the world.   Since the depth and vastness of Dubai’s culinary world seem endless, I believe that this “Best of Dubai’s Food 101” introductory tour will be the first of many.  

Were you aware? Dubai is quickly rising to the top of the global culinary travel map, offering a unique blend of local flavor and cutting-edge global innovation on every dish. 👉 The F&B sector in Dubai is almost as varied as the city itself, offering everything from #streetfood to #Michelin_stars.

However, this is what sets Dubai apart: It's the #fusion of creativity and cultures in every meal, bringing together flavors from all over the world with Middle Eastern traditions. It's a unique dining experience.

Fi Suleimani ? Aiwa.... Suleimani chai is made with a combination of black tea, cardamom, and spices, giving it a distinct aroma and flavor. It's often served after meals or as a refreshing beverage during social gatherings. The tea is a symbol of hospitality and community in Arabian culture, and its flavor is a delightful representation of the region's rich culinary heritage.

They kept growing over and over again later becoming the sort of business model for 5000 plus Brands & Outlets of Cafeterias that now dominate the UAE #foodservice business. Some of the tastiest foods on super amazing prices and memories of Millions of Consumers who where ever in the world they are still long & miss the Cafeterias of UAE.🇦🇪 This is a story of a legacy and a market segment that got created based on pure logic of keeping things straight forward, simple, affordable and yet a memorable experience.

"Do you think Dubai is on its way to becoming the best food city in the world?" Jenny Hewett asked me this very valid question recently for her article on MSN. Here's what I replied, a gist of which made it to her final article— "‘Best’ is a term I shy away from using with food because taste is inherently subjective. But I do think we are already one of the most, if not *the* most, diverse food cities in the world in terms of cultural representation, pricing spectrum and availability of global versus homegrown brands. Being a younger city, Dubai has more legroom than others to stretch and shape its image as a food destination while keeping other established templates in mind. Tokyo and Paris, for instance, already have their reputations and brands as food cities cut in stone—and these are not the easiest places I’d imagine to come in as a new entrant and make your culinary mark. But with Dubai, if you’re a chef or restaurateur with a vision, there’s more room for you to experiment. People will take notice and you can be part of creating our Dubai food brand because it’s being ‘baked’ right now as we eat." What are your thoughts? I know I've irked New Yorkers in the past with my opinions, bring them on 😅 🔗Full article online including Chefs Mohamad Orfali, Solemann Haddad & Himanshu Saini from Tresind at: https://lnkd.in/dpsFPZpj #dubaieats #dubaitourism #foodtourism

In today's fast-paced world, it's too easy to get caught up in the habit of documenting every moment, especially during a special dining experience. Yet, some restaurants choose to implement a 'no photo, no video' policy, as we do in Adaline Restaurants Dubai, and there's a beautiful reason behind it. - Dining is more than just eating; it's about connecting with those around us. When we put our phones away, we open the door to genuine conversations and shared laughter. - The taste, texture, aroma, and presentation of the dishes are meant to be enjoyed in real-time. Capturing these experiences in our minds allows us to fully appreciate the flavors and the unique artistry of each dish. - While photos can be a nice reminder, the most vivid memories often reside in our minds. By focusing on the moment instead of behind the screen, we create lasting impressions that resonate far beyond a scroll through our camera roll. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of living in the now. Engage with your companions, enjoy the food, and let those memories stay in your mind. After all, some of the best moments in life are meant to be felt, not captured. #AdalineDubai #FundamentalHospitality #Uniqueness #Dubai #Memories
