So for food, If you want some authentic food, I have a couple of OG bakeries - Al reef bakery, has great cheese and meat pies, and of course Shawarma. Same cuisine with Al Mallah. If you want a good seafood experience with some spice and asian flare, there's an awesome place by the corniche in Sharjah called Mama Machi. It's a bit of a hole in the wall but flavor has been great and they have been around for over 30 years!
