Al Fanar Restaurant & Cafe
Dubai Festival City·$$
Machboos
AED75.00
Fragrant rice cooked in spiced broth with chicken, lamb, or shrimp, topped with crispy onions and a fried egg.
Tip: Order the chicken or lamb version—the shrimp version is good but less traditional and sometimes overcooked. Ask for it with a side of laban (yogurt) to cool the spices.

Mimi Kakushi
Jumeirah·$$$$
Kagoshima Wagyu Donabe
AED195.00
Wagyu rice pot with sweet shallots, crispy onion, tamago, and wagyu dashi.
Tip: The clay pot cooking method creates crispy bits of rice and caramelized beef—it's texture-forward and luxurious.
