Ideas for lunch, favorite food in Dubai!!! May 09, 2011
well, recently we talked about everything away from Dubai, some use DF as Facebook, some trying to feed others their opinions in their mouths, now I am thinking more about my stomach :lol:

I was thinking what to have for lunch, I found out I have been eating too much chickens, any other ideas?
I feel like when I am tired of thinking what to eat I just go for grilled chicken...

Gosh there's such a huge choice. Sushi for one, Yo! Sushi, with the little conveyer belts is great, also Bentoya on Shk Zayed road - fabulous, always full of Japanese, so you know it's good :D

Plenty of places to try Thai food. Lots of seafood joints, the choices are pretty much endless, just pick what you want to eat and go find a place that serves it.

I do love Lime Tree, either on Beach rd or in Battutta mall - fab :)

The only reason I like Lime tree is you can sit outside and have a smoke. Plus its just a minutes drive from my place. Not too keen on their sandwiches though and for being a cafeteria its a bit spendy.

Oriental food, not my cup of tea either. Now Labanese is something I can eat all day :D

Well Mahmoud, it depends whether you like to eat a lot at lunch time. I'm not that big on a lot to eat for lunch so I'd go for an omlette or salad.
I had a lovely omlette at Le Pain Quotidien on the Walk a couple of weeks ago. It's a favourite of mine. It's a chain, they are in Emirates Mall aswell. Beware that they serve their coffee in what appears to be soup bowls. The person I was with wasn't very impressed with that.

Lime Tree has great salads etc. I'm a sucker for that place because of the carrot cake!

I second the Thai and Lebanese food!

Chicken biryani from the local labourers canteen. 6Dhs and simply great!

That or extra spicy Nasi Goreng with double peanut sauce and a snotty egg from the local Thai place.

Normally scarfed at the desk whilst nose pressed to the grindstone...

:D :D :D

As I said, Bentoya is the best IMHO. If the Japs hang out there, it has to be good :D

Oh oh Ravi's - can't beat their butter chicken and it's cheap as chips.

Is that like saying 'The Pakis'? :shock:

Oh I've just thought! That reminds me of my Japenese joke, although I can't remember the joke. It was something about it being ironic how the Japenese ate raw fish and now the fish were eating....damn, what was the punch line?

Chocs doesn't like BM's jokes, neither does Kanelli!

Gutted if they changed Spice Island, loved the Mongolian BBQ and the sushi.

Only heterosectionals eat curry with plenty of chillies, napalm and broken glass.

Gays like korma!
