Dubai’s food scene isn’t just about glitz or five-star menus — it’s a living, breathing mosaic of smoky grills, fragrant spices, and time-honored recipes shared in family homes and tucked-away corners of the city.
Hi, I’m Shahrukh — a passionate food blogger and traveler based in Dubai, and the voice behind Kosharyzizo.My journey into food started far from luxury. As a child, I discovered the magic of UAE’s flavors not in fine-dining halls, but in the heart of late-night shawarma joints, bustling souks, and street-side grills where the aroma alone tells a story.What drew me in wasn’t just the taste — it was the stories behind every bite. The traditions. The laughter around family tables. The sizzle from vendors who’ve been perfecting their craft for decades.
From the backstreets of Deira to the hidden gems in Abu Dhabi, I’ve made it my mission to uncover the UAE’s culinary soul — the part you won’t find in a brochure or a tourist map.
🍴 Whether you’re hunting for the best koshary in Dubai, searching for Emirati breakfast spots, or just want to eat like a local — I’m here to guide you beyond the tourist traps and into the true flavors of the UAE.
