Discovering Culinary Treasures Of Ajman

If you’re an Arab cuisine enthusiast, Ajman will be an ideal destination. Let Eatagram be your gourmet guide.

Ajman, one of the thriving mega cities of the UAE, benefits from its location, offering visitors scenic sea views, an abundance of seafood, business opportunities, and excellent dining experiences.

Not sure what to try first in Ajman?

As the city is located along the coast of the Arabian Gulf, freshly caught seafood is reasonably the cornerstone of Emirati cuisine. If you’re a seafood enthusiast, start your culinary exploration with the taste of sayadiyah. This specialty features fried cod fish with a side of spiced rice and caramelized onions. Absolutely worth trying!

Another rice dish we recommend is machboos. This substantial rice specialty features chicken or lamb, and aromatic spices. Or, if you prefer wheat to rice, opt for harees. It’s a creamy wheat porridge with meat, butter, and a generous portion of local herbs.

If you prefer going beyond Emirati fare, local restaurants offer an array of international dishes.Take a chance to try Lebanese manousheh, flatbread with Akkawi cheese, sunny-side-up eggs and herbs. Turkish food lovers can luxuriate in local Turkish meze and kebabs. Or, if you're an Indian cuisine enthusiast, taste different variations of the Indian rice and seafood dish biryani.

Emirati desserts are a special chapter in the cookbook of Ajman. Be sure to treat yourself to the iconic deep-fried dumplings with date syrup, known as luqaimat. We adore asida, a sweet porridge with honey and melted sheep ghee. These delights pair perfectly with karak chai, strong tea with milk, and strong Arab coffee with cardamom.

Ajman will impress you with its Oriental hospitality and incomparable cuisine.
