What's good to eat in Dubai? I have no idea what the reigning cuisine is, though I assume the meat will be halal.
IMO I'd stay away from the malls to eat (you can get those restaurants globally) and instead venture to the likes of Satwa (close to downtown / 15 mins from the airport variable on traffic). You'll be treated to some incredibly tasty (and cheap) Arabic, Pakistani & Indian cuisines. Most places are open late into the night - a couple that stand-out are Al Malah & Ravi's.
