Meylas
ميلس
An all-day restaurant that evolved from one of the UAE's first food trucks, serving traditional dishes from family recipes, tucked away among the apartments of Al Muneera island.
Founded by Shaikha Al Kaabi, Meylas started as one of the UAE's first food trucks and has now established a permanent home on Al Muneera island, Al Raha Beach. Run by two sisters, the all-day dining spot features an open kitchen serving traditional dishes made with family recipes and local ingredients. It is a Michelin-selected restaurant, noted for letting guests "eat like a local." Must-try dishes include the machboos (around AED 56), spiced shrimp rice (around AED 75), balaleet (around AED 35), and chbaab pancakes, with luqaimat for dessert. No alcohol is served. The location can be a bit tricky to find within the Al Muneera Beach Plaza area, so checking a map beforehand is recommended.
