Food trucks: The best ones to eat from in Dubai

Fans of Indian food might be interested to know you can build your own roti wrap here. Or indulge in a chicken tikkin' Punjabi pizza for Dh35.

Globally, food trucks have been around for ages. They got a much later start in UAE, but then this is a young country. In the last 18 months or so, the trend has caught on here. Food trucks are parked all over Dubai. They've been around at events such as Modhesh World, ComicCon, and Hangry Hangar at Warehouse 4 in Al Quoz.

MEALS ON WHEELS: There are at least a dozen food trucks around Dubai with food actually worth eating. Head to Emirates Golf Course on Saturday (4pm-11pm) to get a taste of over a dozen different cuisines, courtesy more than 15 trucks parked there.

Or you could head to Salt at Kite Beach. They do good burgers and milkshakes. A chicken cheetos burger is for Dh40, vanilla shakes for Dh25. There's also Melt parked outside JA Ocean View Hotel offerring ice lollies and frozen yoghurts. Founded by two Dubai mums who're making healthy alternatives available to Dubai folks, Melt's frozen yoghurt is for Dh20 and fat-free. Their Dh 15 ice-lollies have no added preservatives. Moti Roti is another truck - in Al Quoz - that offers health food.
