Shawarma Spots in Old Dubai

The Shawarma Hunt

Shawarma spots in Dubai range from the fancy ones in Dubai Mall to the hole-in-the-wall places in Deira. Look, you can't go wrong with a classic chicken shawarma from Automatic Restaurant on Al Rigga Street, it's only 10 AED! But, and I know this sounds weird, I think the real magic happens when you add a dash of garlic sauce.

Hidden Gems

Old Dubai has some amazing spots for shawarma. Honestly, it's the perfect snack after a long day of exploring the souks.

Street Food

Here's the thing: street food in Dubai is all about the experience. You'll find vendors on almost every corner, especially around the Al Fahidi Metro Station.

Restaurant Options

If you're looking for a more traditional dining experience, check out Al Mallah on Street 33 in Hor Al Anz. They serve up some of the city's best shawarma, and their falafel is a must-try. You'll pay a bit more, around 20 AED per person, but it's worth it for the quality and atmosphere. By the way, if you're planning a family day out, consider checking out the Yas Island waterpark or the Warner Bros. Family Fun Day.

Insider Tips

For a real adventure, skip the touristy areas and head to the Sharjah City Tour to explore the cultural capital. Now, back to shawarma - my top tip is to always ask for extra tahini sauce, trust me on this one. You can book a guided food tour through Roamigo Trips to discover even more hidden gems, and get ready to shawarma your way through old Dubai!
