Culinary Harmony

If you’re fortunate enough to bridge the gap between visitor and local and receive an invitation into a Dubai resident’s home, you’ll quickly be acquainted with the welcoming phrase ‘Ta’am! Ta’am! Ta’am!’ (Food! Food! Food!). Embracing the rich tradition of sharing meals and beverages, Dubai’s culture reflects both the essence of Emirati hospitality and the excellence of locally sourced ingredients. Home-style culinary delights are a highlight of family-oriented dining establishments, yet a new generation of chefs is introducing a more innovative approach to gastronomy.
