dining whats on Ten To Try: Falafel
Ten To Try: Falafel
Updated on 02 October 2023

Food is a staple in everyone's day-to-day life, and one delicious dish that is synonymous with Middle Eastern cuisine is falafel.

The ball-shaped wonder is made out of chickpeas or fava beans, and is deep fried to create a crunchy mouthful of deliciousness. Falafel is a versatile dish that can be turned into sandwiches, added to salads or just eaten plain.

The origins of the dish are unclear, as the way falafel is made depends on the choice of ingredients and the country in which they are made in, however, there are two popular theories for how the dish was popularised. The first is that falafel was brought by Copt Christians who moved to Egypt, over 1,000 years ago, while the second theory is that they came from India in the 6th century. After the British conquered Egypt in 1882, the army liked fried croquettes from India, and asked Egyptians to use local ingredients to create a version of the dish, which led to falafel. 

Here are some great places Discover Dubai has come up with to enjoy the crunchy, deep-fried treats, that are perfect for a quick bite or as an accompaniment to a meal.

Operation Falafel

As in the name of the restaurant, Operation Falafel at Jumeirah Beach Residence, is the place to visit to delight in delicious falafel. Diners can tuck into a variety of falafel dishes like classic deep-fried falafel, stuffed falafel filled with onions, pine nuts and shatta which is a spicy sauce topped with sesame seeds, freek n falafel salad made with freekeh which is a Middle Eastern whole grain, cucumber, olive, capsicum and pomegranate with dressing, falafel wrap, falafel sandwich, and special veggie falafel sandwich.

Zaroob

Zaroob at Jumeirah Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, Radisson Blu Residence in Dubai Marina, and First Avenue Mall in Motor City, is a brilliant spot to enjoy a range of falafel-centric dishes. Serving tastes from around the Middle East, savour in dishes including falafel, falafel salad, stuffed falafel with crunchy onions and sumac that is a tart spice, and falafel sandwich served in either saj bread which is an unleavened flatbread, or Lebanese flatbread.

Allo Beirut

With five branches in Dubai at City Walk, JBR, Al Warqa, Motor City and Hessa Street, as well as two branches in Abu Dhabi at Al Najda and Khalifa City, Allo Beirut is a brilliant place to relish in Lebanese food at its finest.

The Hummus House

Falafel lovers, The Hummus House at Cluster Y in JLT, is the place to go. The restaurant brings the taste of Jordan to the UAE, and the deep-fried treats are a must-have off the menu.
