Eating in Dubai, answered

Where do locals eat in Dubai?

Local favourites include Arabian Tea House, Orfali Bros, Time Out Market Dubai and Bait Maryam. Pick breakfast, lunch, dinner or something sweet above to narrow them down.

I can't decide where to eat. Can you pick for me?

Yes: tap "Not sure what you want?" and answer a few quick questions (how hungry you are, your budget, who's coming). It picks one place from the 5 places here, and another if you don't fancy it.
