About this spot
In the heart of Old Dubai, Bayt al Wakeel offers a nostalgic Arabian breakfast where you must order the crispy fried calamari rings with tartar sauce before they disappear. Pair your meal with the deep-fried mashed chickpeas seasoned with red capsicum and garlic for an authentic street-food experience that feels worlds away from typical tourist traps.
๐ก Tips before you go
- Order the banana milk shake immediately after eating savory items to cleanse your palate between courses.
- Ask for extra sumac powder on the spinach-filled triangle pastry if you want a stronger tangy kick.
- Save room for the croissants with strawberries and mascarpone, as they are best enjoyed warm from the oven.
