⭐welcome⭐
Bye, May! Hello, June! Yikes, we’re six months into 2022 already - only six months left to meet our 2022 eating quota ;-)
This week, you can celebrate the Queen while enjoying a sparkling afternoon tea, grab some ramen or Lebanese grilled chicken, or try out a fairly under-the-radar Thai place.
Knives & forks at the ready! Let’s munch!

Asia Street by Thai isn’t really new, but the little eatery in cluster F is so under the radar that we thought we’d highlight it here. Don’t expect any frills here - there’s no Facebook page, no fancy website, nothing fancy at all actually, but don’t be fooled: The food’s authentic and the hospitality is beyond approach. Many Google and TripAdvisor reviewers consider Asia Street by Thai to be one of the most authentic Thai eateries in Dubai. Do stop by!
