4 UAE eateries that bring ‘long table’ into your car for unique dine-in experience; prices start at Dh15

Car deliveries have always been a thing in the UAE. Whether it is honking outside a grocery store for a packet of chips or having a shawarma and karak chai delivered to you from the roadside cafeteria, UAE residents are used to things being delivered to their vehicles. But imagine having an entire dining experience inside your car.

What is so awesome about car dining, you ask? Well, for starters, the restaurant places a long table, complete with drink holders, that stretches from the driver’s seat window to the passenger seat window. It is just the perfect length to allow you to roll your windows up and enjoy all the yumminess in the comfort of your car’s AC. No balancing act with your hands and no messy drippings.

Does this sound like your kind of thing? Then here are four eateries where you can enjoy car dining in Dubai:

Sho Shi Tuk Tuk Restaurant: With branches in Al Barsha, Warqa and Mirdif, Tuk Tuk serves a variety of dishes including meshakeek and Emirati specials like regag and luqeimat. With its trademark bright blue light, the food truck can be spotted from miles away. The eatery also has seafood dishes like shrimp, octopus and squid boxes. However, the best seller at the restaurant is their plate of mixed flavoured mussels. If that wasn’t enough, waffles, pancakes, habba hamra and karak chai are also on the menu.

Colaba Street Food restaurant: Located in Al Mizhar, this restaurant serves traditional Indian food including chaat, masala dosa and puri. However, the highlight at the restaurant is their uniquely named drinks. Christened after Indian actors, the juices are called Amitabh, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Madhuri.
