Charcoal chicken and garlic sauce, El Jannah
Come for the smoky charcoal chicken, stay for the garlicky goodness that is the toum. Throw in bright pickles, dips of your choice (the baba ghanoush and creamy hummus are essential), good bread (and, if you must, chips) and the reasons behind the Jannah’s mighty reputation are mighty clear.

Shawerma, Shish Shawerma
Abu Dhabi’s Shish Shawerma revs up the shawerma for a modern audience, taking wood-fired pita, stuffing it with spit-roasted meats, salad and sauces and toasting it on the grill before serving. The clincher? Australian beef, caramelised to the point known as perfection.

Falafel, Very Good Falafel
Louisa Allan and Shuki Rosenboim weren’t kidding with the name. How good? Order the falafel plate, a banquet of four superb falafels (made with chickpeas grown in the Mallee by Allan’s dad), hummus, zhoug and tahini, pickles, and salads. Let’s hear it for truth in naming.

Israeli breakfast, Shuk
If this be breakfast, let’s hope Israel takes it easy at lunch. A paella pan groans under the weight of two eggs, Israeli salad, olives, labne, hummus, butter, jam, avocado, tahini, yoghurt and granola. And now for a nap.
