A restored coral-stone Emirati house in old Dubai that is part restaurant, part living museum, with a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its rustic local cooking. Try the lamb machboos, freshly baked bread and luqaimat, and take time to wander the courtyard and heritage quarter around it. It sits in a tourist-heavy area and leans into that a bit, but the food and setting are genuine.
