What to eat in Abu Dhabi
Emirati cuisine, just like the country itself, is a smorgasbord of local and international influences. Abu Dhabi is awash with the finest Italian, French, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Philippine, and Lebanese eateries, but you shouldn’t miss out on the rich and deeply satisfying Emirati fare, either. Seafood, lamb, and mutton are well-loved ingredients, often cooked as a stew, heavy on saffron, cardamom, turmeric, and thyme. Khuzi (or ghuzi) is a must-try: the Emirates’ national dish is an aromatic mix of roasted lamb, rice, and nuts. So is balaleat (or balaleet), a traditional Emirati dessert that also doubles as a sweet-and-savoury breakfast dish made with vermicelli, eggs, cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, and pistachios. Coffee and tea, jazzed up with cardamom, saffron, or mint, are essential to local diet and life in general.
