"Meylas first lures patrons with its modern Middle Eastern fusion and Instagram-ready open kitchen. Shaikha Al Kaabi, a young Emirati, opened Meylas with the mission to make Emirati food accessible to everyone. The food though, takes its cues from the classics of the cuisine. Dishes follow recipes passed down through the generations and are prepared with local ingredients. Standouts range from balaleet, simple noodles with saffron and cardamom, to salonat badu, a bedouin stew with lamb and rice." - Jenna Scatena
