A trip down the food street of Dubai

Suhail Hamed has been living in Damascus Street for more than two decades, witnessing the street literally growing from an internal road to one of the most sought after places in Dubai.

“This road was not so busy in the late nineties or even ten years ago. It was mainly a residential place and the commercial activities were minimal. There were only a few restaurants a decade ago, however that has changed over the last few years and it seems ever restaurant wants open a branch here,” said Suhail, who is an accountant.

It is a connoisseur’s dream street and a heaven for food lovers. From Lebanese and Chinese for starters to Biryani and Kebab for main course, adding to that a pinch of fast food joints as well as some veggies to garnish — Dubai’s Damascus Street is one mega platter.

With 84 eateries, which include small cafeterias as well as some fine dining restaurants and popular kitchens, the six-kilometre stretch from the border of Sharjah to the Al Nahda Road intersection arguably has the highest density of restaurants for any street in Dubai.
