Today’s topic is very interesting, especially if you love street food. I’m sure when you think of Dubai, the first thing that comes to mind is the tall skyscrapers, beautiful streets, and the vibrant energy all around the place.
But if you’ve paid more attention, you must have noticed the street smelling nice in different spots. Yeah, I’m talking about the aroma of street food.
The street is where you want to be at night. You can enjoy all sorts of traditional cuisines and a few of them across the globe.
I’m usually not surprised that I get easily drawn to the sight and smell at night.
So, in today’s blog post, I will share some places with the best street food in the UAE.
Before we dive into the places I want to share with you, there is one question we really have to answer. What’s the thing that makes street food so unique? I mean, why should you even want to try it in the first place?
Well, for starters, street food is not just about the food. It’s an experience. You get the feeling like you’re tasting what your mom used to prepare when you were younger. You get the point, right?
And aside from the food, you get to have good conversations with folks you just might for the first time. There are smiles all around, and people from all walks of life are there, and you just feel that warm welcome in the air.
You get to try local dishes that have been passed over from one generation to the next with flavors you’ve never even heard about.
As you've read up to this point, I'm sure you now know why street food has a place in our hearts.
And, if you're a visitor here, you might share in our experience too. So, with that said, let's move on to our list of the places with the best street food experience in the UAE.

This place gets you great variety, a fantastic buzz about the place, and incredible prices.

Al Rigga Street can throw you into a shock of small eateries, each delving into a mix of Middle Eastern flavors.

Just off Al Rigga Street in Al Muraqqabat Street, this is another great location for street snacks that is not too well known.
The Middle Eastern flavors will still be there in plenty, but here, you will also discover a range of treats that are absolute gems of Southeast Asia.

If you want to know how locals eat, this is the spot. This residential neighborhood has tiny restaurants and cafés serving good and affordable street food.
Maybe it is a bit less 'polished' than other places, but this is probably the whole charm of Al Karama.
