One of the staple dishes is Machboos, a fragrant rice dish cooked with meat or seafood, onions, and spices. Luqaimat, sweet dumplings filled with dates and nuts, are a beloved dessert. Another favourite is Thareed, a hearty stew made with slow-cooked meat, bread, and vegetables.

Sharjah’s cuisine is also characterised by its use of local ingredients such as dates, fish and camel meat. The emirate’s coastal location ensures an abundance of fresh seafood, which is often grilled or used in dishes like fish biryani.

Influences from trade and cultural exchange are evident in dishes like Kunafeh, a dessert made with shredded phyllo dough, cheese, and syrup and Shawarma – a popular street food inspired by Turkish doner kebab.

Emirati hospitality is renowned and food plays a central role in welcoming guests. Traditional meals are often served in a majlis, a cozy gathering space, where diners sit on cushions and enjoy delicious food and warm company.

In Sharjah, Emirati cuisine is not just a source of sustenance but a celebration of heritage and community. The emirate’s culinary scene is a must-experience for anyone seeking to understand the rich cultural tapestry of the UAE. So, go and indulge in the flavors of Sharjah – your taste buds will thank you.
