Flavors of the Levant.....

Our first stop on this culinary field trip is Zaroob.  A funky and modern take on Levant street cuisine.  With waiters that look like Japanese Samurai to the eclectic decor, this is definitely a unique experience in Dubai which you can enjoy on a budget. 

We ordered a couple of nice snack items like Fried Haloumi skewers that we thoroughly enjoyed wrapped up in the delicate and crispy Saj hot of the griddle.

 We also had some other traditional items such as Houmous, Tabouli, Fatoosh, and Shawarma.  All very tasty, and convenient.  It's the perfect place if you're looking for quick bite out that also satisfies and is considerably healthy.  We left feeling good not only because of the meal, but because of the service and vibe at this cute little snack spot located right on Skeikh Zayed Road next to Al Attar Tower. 
Next is up, Reem Al Bawadi, "The exquisite taste of Arabia"  claims to be one of the most authentic experiences from taste to ambiance, and i couldn't agree with it more.  From the flavorful babaganouj.....

 To a platter of crisply fried goodies.....
 Every type of seafood imaginable
 And an assortment of grilled meats.....
We left the restaurant satisfied with the food and plenty of leftovers.  Reem Al Bawadi has two restaurant locations.  One in Jumeirah and the other on Sheikh Zayed Road.  They also have a number of other smaller  stores, one is dedicated to Hummus and Falafel in Umm Sequiem as well as a Bakery right on SZR.
