DUBAI · THE FOOD NOTEBOOK

Al Mallah’s shawarma and Cinnamon Tree’s egg roll answer a different appetite from Ravi’s butter chicken or Masry Afandi’s plain molokhia. Compare coconut bread with kunafa for two different sweet directions. Ravi’s karak and Al Turath’s Moroccan tea are distinct drinks and serving formats. Read the original order notes for portion, bread and sharing context.
Butter & Bread’s branch is labeled Al Badaa and its coconut bread has a stock caveat; check before making a special trip. Masry Afandi is on the first floor of Hudaiba Mall. Linked Sri Lankan and Egyptian Hunts can continue beyond this area. Use their maps and transfer notes rather than treating this neighborhood shortlist as a promise of one continuous walk.
