I would like to experience some "authentic" cuisine while I'm here and take a few recipes back home with me. Where should I go? How do I know it is real?
There's margooga, mathrooba, harees (not a "sweet"), mihyawa( a kind of fish sauce spread on Arabic bread- very delicious!), mashkhool, machboos, shilani...you can find some if not most of these recipes in souq waqif!
I wouldn't recommend going to Balhambar restaurant (the one next to orry on corniche) the quality of the food is so so and theres not much to choose from...
Try something called 'harres' - its a sweet..... it is one of the most heinous tasting food ever..... but then again I eat loads of marmite straight out of the jar!
