Hey everyone hope you're having an amazing day. It's mark wiens, i'm in dubai, uae and dubai is home to some of the best pakistani food outside of pakistan. So today i am hanging out with my great friends, ali from pakistan and trevor the food ranger. That is incredible and we're going to take you on an ultimate pakistani food tour of dubai.

He's going elbow deep, we're going to have some breakfast we're going to have some fried fish. We're gon na have some biryani we're gon na eat a lot of delicious authentic pakistani food in dubai and we're gon na have a lot of fun and i'm gon na share all of the food with you coming up in this video right now. Ultimate, all you can eat yeah pakistanis. Let's do it so good to see you in dubai man, oh man, so what's up? First buddy.

First of all, we're going for the breakfast going for breakfast yeah. It's going to be some nice halwa puri paya chana. So we arrived to the first location and we're actually in sharjah right yeah, which is the emirate just north of dubai. What is sharjah known for china is known for some great pakistani food, because so many pakistanis who live here and the food here is great, so you're going to be enjoying.

I'm sure, especially one of the great breakfast dishes of pakistan, and so the puri are the pieces of dough which he like slaps out and then he tosses with a spin into the oil and immediately as it hits that oil it starts that hot oil. It starts to puff up like a balloon and those are huge puris. These are some of the biggest foodies i've ever you're seen hungry. Oh man, this smells incredible.

Oh dude, they're, huge wow. You know that bubble wrap they're like they're, like giant sized bubble, wrap you just want to pop them, and there it is. They just serve so beautifully. Look at those signs so ali.

I have a quick question. We had halawa puri in pakistan. In fact, it was my first meal in pakistan. We had it on the streets of lahore puri, but i don't remember ella's ever having puris that size.

Is that something that's common, or is that i'm really impressed by the skill level here and people in sharjah trust me? You are having pro level pakistani breakfast here, yeah look at the poories they're, so big they're huge, aren't they they're bigger. They don't even fit. In my face, you can put your head inside of it. It's like an inflated plastic bag, except it's edible there.

He is yeah, oh man, and it said in dubai. Everything is great, everything is grand and then this is helwa, which is so it's called halwa puri. The helwa is like a semolina sweet kind of almost a pudding or a paste, but then, if you want the salty versions, you have a variety of curries. This one is chana which is chickpeas and then a potato curry.

So you can choose sweet or salty. One of my favorite places to eat food in the world on the hood of a vehicle get it the size of these puris will impress you yeah yeah, and i love how one side is a bit thicker and one side is just literally transparent see-through. So i'm going to dip into that that hello, hello, was the strategy. First, let's just take a nice chunk or something yeah we're the puri brothers.

We got that we got the halawa for the first bite. Yeah all right cheers guys cheers: oh yeah! Oh it's pretty! Nice memories of pakistan - oh man, yeah wow, the sweet semolina. So within that that hello, you can taste the richness of the ghee and then also a bit of a nuttiness. I think there's some uh, maybe some raisins, also or some dried fruit as well as uh.

Like almonds in there, oh that'll start your day off strong, just get that energy started out nice. The hallway is good, but it's a little sweet for me, so i always prefer the chana and yeah this this, the chickpeas, the chickpea, curry, oh and immediately, just stirring that around you can smell that aroma. Oh all, the masala, oh man. Yes, that's the joy of life right there.

Oh that's my that's my dip of choice right there, that is nice! Some! It's definitely potent like the green chili in there all that spice and pepper richness, the pepperiness. The chickpeas just have this starchy melt in your mouth. Like dissolving texture to them breakfast of champions, yeah move on to the potato, curry, you can see the coriander in there. You can see again that rich blend of spices ali has gone silent on us.

That's when you know it's good ali was all chatty at first and now we haven't heard a word from him, wow, so much flavor in these the coriander seed in there the potato has sort of half dissolved to the point where it's making making the gravy. It's very making the gravy it's soft, it's tender yeah, the doudou is awesome, i think for me, but it's still about the chana right now. Yeah, the china is the jenna. It's all about.

Oh! Thank you. That's exactly what i needed beautiful and on that bite. We need to wash it down. Let's see, yes, we do no pakistani breakfast is complete without this goodie cheers take a lassie down wow, so refreshing, that's amazing!

Wow. Another awesome stop on this pakistani food tour, dubai, so fresh, so satisfying fresh out of the oil next up on this ultimate pakistani food tour, we're at pakliari, which is one of the legendary pakistani restaurants of dubai, they're famous for biryani, among other things, oh man. That looks so rich, oh it's so saucy! So, oh it's just oh! The potatoes are gon na, have so much flavor and an airborne potato into the rice. Look at that.

I was just scraping it massive potato and then all the different pots of uh curries and stews pakistani. Oh man, the flavors, the aromas and i love how he scoops out that biryani, just like slapping. He chooses so carefully between the moist like stewed meats and puts that on your plate and then flops on some of the really fluffy biryani rice, but so rhythmic and so methodical yeah. The white roast is spoiled by choices.

Pressures on here we have green, green chicken. Chicken i got ta say the green chicken is calling my name. We have to try some green chicken, like that's the brain. Oh look at that wow coriander! That's the final kitchen component station, the nan station, beautiful, fresh naan, we're on our way to the table to eat, can't wait my green candy, you let it slide into the big bowl and that's where you can and it's a very good scoop it off the side Of the of the plate yeah, let's just slide it off.

Oh look at all the masala, oh that's chicken and the potato that is going to have a lot of flavor. It's got to be the beauty honey that we start with. This is the mutton there's potato. Oh, it's so soft and warm! Oh man! Oh you feel the tenderness of that one.

You can just squeeze it between your fingertips. Oh so supple! For me, it's a cloven pepper and i love how it's just loaded with that soft masala. Oh, it's like saturated with meaty juices, which have absorbed into every grain of rice. He threw it in the air before it landed on the plate.

It won the airborne potato. Let's take some of that. Oh the biryani bros. This is really good you're.

So right, oh peppercorn. Alright, all the potato melts in your mouth without exaggerating it's the softest potato i've ever had. This is really really good for you. Man yeah, the spices, are so balanced, so balanced, so fragrant, unbelievably fragrant fragrant, smooth fluffy rice, full of flavor next level.

Man, sorry, my friends from lahore biryani belongs to karachi. You scoop out as much as you can brain scoop. Let's all go in so we have scrambled masala brains, oh man, just soak it up. Oh you make us feel the gooeyness of it yeah.

So soft the brain masala grows. Oh it's actually quite bright bright and creamy and spongy. The texture is actually like scrambled eggs. It's green from the alley we're saying green from the coriander and the range korean mint and coriander.

So it's an herbal greenish yeah! It's not like a chili greenness, it's so thick and you got ta make sure that naan is just like so curated. So you get the full flavor wow, that's the real deal so good! That's the reality! Yeah! It's not! It's not spicy, but you taste that herbal mashup oh and it has this like slight tartness to it, wow that just like balances the whole richness yo. When we're in pakistan. I don't remember having green chicken never had pinch.

That's why i i thought it was a! Must man this white might be the highlight dish here? Is you're missing something, so do you think this would be a some kind of a special dish from a certain region, or did they invent it? I think in dubai because seeing dubai there are different nationalities. People from all over the world are living here, sometimes even the pakistani chefs they mix and match you. They create different flavors, they kind of have influence from a variety of countries and then for sure. So this i believe, has been interest from thailand awesome for sure.

Yes, yeah, that's amazing, spectacular, don't miss the biryani, but also don't miss the green chicken ginger. Some of the time for me to go into my signature position, the signature position and that position shows that if i go into that position, the food is really nice. Look at that full relaxation time. This is a signature pakistani style of how we relax after having our meals man.

This brings back so many great memories that we've always done right here, step out of the car and immediately you can smell the fried fish and spices. Aroma in the air next up fried fish food: let's do it right there healthy option. Oh wow, look at that rich masala on there skin fish kingfish, which one is this fillet filling green berries. This is the catch of the day right here, all lathered in a thick layer of masala.

You see that orange color, the turmeric in there, the spices, okay, fish and pumpkin that'd, be my choice and literally like people order the fish. Then they come over to this window and kind of see them as they deep fry the fish and he just tosses those fish into a bubbling gigantic wok of bubbling oil masala, just starting to smoke up starting to caramelize man. It smells great. Oh, oh yeah, one! There there it is, it took like five minutes and you have a whole platter of deep, fried fish.

Incredible. Oh man, oh, and so the seating is across the road, mamamachi dining room so, along with the fish salad chutney interesting story around this fish that you know this restaurant is basically serving pakistani fish, but it's run by kerala people from kerala, india, okay. So actually, this story is that this restaurant was started by a pakistani, but later on, when he got sick or he had to go back to pakistan, he gave the restaurant to his staff or his colleagues from kerala india, okay and they're, still running it and serving Pakistani recipes yeah, it's being served by people from india. The dry rub: dip yeah, just dip it in that chutney.
