Best Breakfast Options to Order in Dubai
We strongly believe that breakfast plays a major role in setting the tone for the rest of the day. Its importance can be estimated from the popular proverb – Eat Breakfast like a King. The main reason for this is that it’s your primary energy source after an overnight fast. Hopefully, you would have gotten the point we’re trying to make. Now, returning to the topic – Are you confused about what to try for breakfast in Dubai? You’ve come just to the right place!
The city’s food tapestry is as vast as its culture. From Ages Old Wholesome Emirati Recipes to International Favorites – you’ll find almost everything here. In this piece, we’d be suggesting some of the best breakfast options to kick start your day!
1 – Balaleet
We could think of no better way to start this list than with the traditional sweet Emirati breakfast dish, Balaleet. The idea of sweet vermicelli served with eggs sounds strange, but trust us – it works out more than fine. The noodles are toasted, boiled & drained. After these they go back to the skillet alongside sugar, cardamom & rose water-slepped saffron. Once the sweetened fragrant noodles are ready, the next step is to prepare the eggs. It’s usually served with an Omelette, creating a balanced treat with the right amount of sweet & savory. You can enjoy the dish at many of the Arabic restaurants or order using the Talabat Code.
2 – Chebab
Next Up we have Chebab. Consider it the Emirati Version of the American Pancakes. The indulgent treat is extremely lightweight, sweet & so soft that it completely melts in your mouth. A fragrant batter is made by mixing flour, yeast water & sugar with signature Middle Eastern aromatics like cardamom & saffron. These are then cooked on a hot frying pan just like the usual pancakes. During this, they are flipped a few times to make sure both sides are cooked completely. That’s where they get their name – Chebab comes from Cheb which means “to flip”. These are then covered in date syrup & usually served with cheese.
3 – Breakfast Thal
If you’re looking for something different, then you might like the Dubai Thali Meals. You’ll find these mainly at the Indian Restaurants. For those who might not know, Thali means a plate or tray in Hindi. It served as a selection of dishes on a Thali. For a better understanding think of them as an Indian meal platter. This typically includes starters, vegetables, dal, roti, rice & sweets, making it a complete balanced meal. Most places offer both Veg & Non Veg options. Thali Central & Mumbaiker are a few of the best options for trying these. You’ll also find stuffed parathas & chai at most of these places.
4 – American Breakfast
On Mornings when you’re not in the mood for something extravagant, American Breakfast would be a safe choice. The plain old combos are tasty, fulfilling & most importantly familiar. We’ve hardly come across someone who doesn’t like these. The options are quite basic & therefore leave no room for error. You can get them easily from one of the International food chains in the city like iHOP. You’ll find a variety of options. From complete platters with Eggs, Sausages, hash browns & toast to many different Flavours of pancakes – you can enjoy anything you want. Don’t forget to order your favorite caffeinated beverage for a complete experience.
5 – Breakfast Bowls
In case you’re looking for a healthier option, Breakfast bowls are your best bet. While looking around for options we came across Wild & The Moon. It has many refreshing combinations prepared using fresh ingredients. These mainly include some type of granola, frozen berries, seasonal fruits, yogurts, almonds & other similar ingredients. The menu also includes many nutritious smoothies & Toast. In addition to this, you can also find a huge variety of other healthy breakfast bowls at What a Treat.
