When it comes to Middle Eastern foods, Arabian cuisine offers an array of delectable dishes that will undoubtedly capture the imagination of the food lover with its remarkable flavours.

 

Manakeesh

This distinctive food which may be described as the Arabian equivalent of a pizza consists of a circularly shaped bread that is sprinkled with ground meat, cheese or herbs. A perfect food for either lunch or breakfast, this food can be enjoyed at classy restaurants as well as street vendors.

Hummus

This well-known spread which contains plenty of chickpeas can be enjoyed on many different foods, such as pita bread, baked potatoes or even a burger. When it comes to a Palm Jumeirah resort where you can enjoy both Middle Eastern and international cuisine, a choice to consider would be Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort.

Grilled halloumi

Halloumi which comes in small slabs is a delicious treat made from sheep and goat milk. Halloumi differs from many kinds of cheese as neither bacteria nor acid is employed in its processing. Many restaurants in the Middle East offer this unique food.

Foul meddamas

Foul meddamas is a zesty dish made with fava beans, parsley, olive oil, garlic, onion and lemon. To be fair, this dish does not look particularly appetizing, as it is rather mundane in its appearance. However, its texture and taste more than compensate for this failing.
