This is the speedy, off-shoot delivery service of popular Indian eatery Bombay Borough, located in DIFC. The whole concept of a gully kitchen, or a street kitchen, is to whip up hearty, hot meals quickly and deliver them quicker to make sure they arrive at the scene hot. Gully Kitchen is a solid, casual dining option, serving Indian originals and innovations made from scratch – from gluten free dosa pockets, to grab and go biryani.

If you’re looking for Indian takeout, but fine dining, this is the one for you. The Crossing celebrates the spirit of Indian diversity, and showcases lesser known delicacies from across the country – from Rajput kitchens, hidden gems from northeast India, and India’s coastline. Choose from dishes such as Kalimpong dumplings, chicken makkhan malai and toddy shop prawn.

Now, we know Ravi is not actually Indian – it’s Pakistani, but when the craving for rich curries and kababs hits, this is probably your best choice. Ravi has become something of a rite of passage in Dubai, a symbol of pop culture and a hotspot that not only attracts new tourists but age-old regulars who have known and loved the place for a long time. Order the chicken handi, the peshawari mutton and the bihari kabab.

Bombay Brasserie


Bombay Brasserie in the Taj Dubai has much to offer – a live kitchen, a botanical bar and a mix of classic and contemporary Indian food. The Taj Hotel’s designer kitchen serves up dishes like tawa scallops, malai broccoli, chilgoza falli and khajoor anjeer halwa. You can sample all this on a weekend or weekday night in when the cravings hit but you’d rather not leave the house.

Roobaru in Downtown Dubai is perhaps the perfect takeaway option – it’s fuss free, fairly casual and doesn’t break the bank but still elevated enough to feel like you’re having something fancy at home. The fare here is delicious and authentic, but fun. Try the burnt garlic paneer tikka, the bang bang gobi and the prawn inchipuli. They also have chai and chaat, so you have the entire cuisine to choose from.
