Dubai Restaurants
MY Top 10

Earlier, whenever new restaurants in Dubai would open, I would land up at it's doors, invariably in the first week itself, to try out the cuisine. Sorry to say, I was burnt more often than not. So-called award-winning gourmet chef's and cooks dish out "crap" and call it cuisine.

No more. Now, I wait till I have enough reviews from my family and friends, and only then do I visit, if I am convinced. And, if I really love the whole experience, I add it to this list of Top 10 Dubai Restaurants.

This page is dedicated to all foodies living and visiting Dubai. Here you will find a Top 10 list of my favorite Dubai Restaurants. Some of these are time-tested and have always served me great delicious food, day in and day out.

Of course, things do change and what was once great, becomes so-so and vice versa. So I do update this page (very often) with my latest top 10, dropping some old timers and adding some freshers.

Hope you like this information. I value my visitors comments very much, so if you know about a nice little gem, then please surely, definitely, positively write to me. Your gem may just become a part of the Top Ten Dubai Restaurants. (Only after I've tried it out.)
