Homegrown heroes Projecto Acai have been fueling UAE residents with the magical health benefits of organic Açaí from the Amazon for years now, and are extremely popular nationwide. Away from the acai bowls, you’ll find Hawaiian-style poke bowls, avocado and toast and more.

The Burgurry

The third outpost of The Burgurry in Abu Dhabi is a food truck that churns out tasty burger sliders made with tender wagyu and sushi. They also serve curly fries with three different sauces, which is reason enough to queue up.

In the UAE, MLT is doing for mac n cheese what Salt did for burgers – making them a cult hit. The roaming food truck is currently stationed on Hudayriyat (but possibly for a limited time). There are six varieties of mac n cheese (including mac moreeb, which includes fried chicken, aioli sauce, sour cream and jalapenos). Plus, grilled cheese toasties, baos, and all day breakfast dishes.
