During my recent visit to Al Forat, a shawarma restaurant renowned for its Middle Eastern flavors, I had the opportunity to sample a couple of their popular dishes. The restaurant offers a casual and inviting atmosphere, ideal for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Here's a breakdown of my experience:

Meat Shawarma (7/10): The meat shawarma was flavorful, with the tahini well-infused into the tender meat. However, it was a bit too greasy for my liking, which slightly detracted from the overall enjoyment of the dish. Despite this, the taste was still quite pleasant, making it a satisfying option for shawarma enthusiasts.

Falafel Plate (7.5/10): The falafel plate was a good choice. The falafel balls were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, offering a nice contrast in textures. The flavors were well-balanced, with the spices enhancing the natural taste of the chickpeas. This dish stood out as a tasty and fulfilling option, perfect for both vegetarians and falafel lovers.

Overall, my experience at Al Forat was good and brings back a nostalgic feeling. The restaurant delivers on its promise of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, with both dishes providing a good balance of flavor and satisfaction. While the meat shawarma could benefit from a reduction in grease, the taste remains enjoyable. The falafel plate, on the other hand is the winner in this case. Al Forat is a good spot for those looking to indulge in traditional shawarma and falafel in a...

Shawarma شاورما is a popular Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Ottoman Empire, consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, and roasted on a slowly turning vertical rotisserie or spit. Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, it may also be made with chicken, turkey, beef, or veal. Thin slices are shaved off the cooked surface as it continuously rotates, stuffed in a fluffy pita bread slathered with a creamy sauce, lettuce, rolled into a wrap and handed to you with an assortment of picked vegetables, usually carrot, beetroot and chilies. Shawarma is a popular street food in the greater Middle East, and Sharjah is where I had my first on my trips in early 2000’s.

In this visit though I managed to get a chicken version on Day 1 hoping to have more throughout the 7 day trip. Picked this beauty from Al Forat Restaurant facing the Fish Roundabout in Al Wasl District Dubai.

Unfortunately this happened to be my first and last in this trip, but nevertheless it was a delicious one with wonderful Arabic flavours exuding out of this deliciously cooked meat, served with a large chili that oozed out all the pickled juices, it was a messy affair but the me to...
