Hi everyone, I am heading to Dubai for a few days. Anyone have dining suggestions? What counts as distinctive local cuisine there?

Emirati food is generally casual. One of the touristy place is in Festival City called Al Fanar. See link below:

Another common food is called mandi which is a communal eating where briani rice with meats served in a large platter. If you are used to eating with hands while sitting on the floor, then you are in good company. Be warned, portions are large.
Unfortunately, mandi is not my fav, so can't really tell you where to go. Lebanese foods are decent and a plenty here. Enjoy Dubai.there's nothing more rewarding than flying for free, is there??

Al Fanar looks to be worth a try too. Although "touristy" is not usually a flattering term, as long as the food is fairly authentic I don't mind heading to the occasional touristy place.

The online reviews for Peck in Dubai are very positive, I have to say!
