This is a collection of my dining experiences in Dubai. This is an attempt to put together some of the interesting experiences in a single blog post.
I was excited to try some of the cuisines which were relatively new to me – Iranian, Arabian, Turkish, Pakistani, and so on. It is not quite the same eating at an Arabian restaurant in India. In addition to this, Egyptian desserts were something I totally loved! Check it out!
