Calories don’t count when it’s gloomy outside and cosy inside
Rain in Dubai is rare, but when it hits, there’s nothing better than curling up with some seriously cosy comfort food. From steaming bowls of ramen to indulgent hot chocolate, the city has plenty of heartwarming dishes that make grey skies feel a little brighter.
Here are 6 of the best places to get comfort food in Dubai
Kinoya for Ramen
What’s On award-winning Kinoya serves up ramen perfect to warm your soul while it rains. You can enjoy your authentic, reasonably priced Japanese izakaya dishes and hearty bowls of ramen in a buzzing atmosphere. We highly recommend the spicy duck ramen, miso eggplant, Wagyu tsukune, and a try selection of sushi.
Little Lamb Hot Pot & BBQ
This Chinese hot pot chain is very popular in Dubai, and for good reason. In classic hotpot fashion, you can choose the flavour and spicy level of your broth and then add in some of your favourite vegetables or proteins. It can be anything from thinly sliced chicken or beef, mushrooms, prawns, crab balls, and noodles. The broth can be either spicy, plain or half and half. If you start seeing the bottom of the pot, don’t be shy to ask for more broth.
Couqley Downtown Dubai
Al Hara Cafeteria
Couqley is Dubai’s modern ode to Parisian dining. Warm your soul here in Downtown Dubai with a French classic – an onion soup gratinée with caramelised onions and baguette, topped with a layer of melted Emmental cheese. Yum! Every spoonful is a warm, comforting hug and just perfect for the rare rainy day in Dubai.
Cheese Toastie at Project Chaiwala
At Project Chaiwala, you can tuck into a classic chilli cheese which is a mix of Emmental and cheddar cheese served in organic sourdough toast with jalapenos and a tomato-based sauce. The perfect snack backed with spice – perfect for when it’s raining… or not.
Hot chocolate from Said Dal 1923
People have called the hot chocolate here as ‘divine’. If you’re craving decadence, this is like sipping on a melted chocolate bar in a cup. Pick from three options: Milk, dark or gianduja.
PS. You can find more hot chocolate options here.
