There’s a certain magic to the city’s food truck culture, where the focus is purely on flavour. It’s about finding that one spot locals swear by, a place that masters a single dish so perfectly it becomes a destination. Forget the reservations and dress codes; this is about the simple joy of a great meal, enjoyed on your own terms at TukTuk in Al Barsha South.
Kerbside Kebabs in Barsha South
Pull up to the stunning and colourful food truck in Al Barsha South and you’ll find the infamous TukTuk. This is a paradise for barbecue lovers, specialising in some of the most tender and flavourful skewers around.
The main draw is the easily accessible service: you don’t even have to leave your driver’s seat. Just pull up, place your order, and a tray loaded with grilled goodness will be delivered right to your car window. It makes for an ideal low-key hangout with friends or a casual date night.
Omani Skewers and Six-Dirham Steals
The menu at TukTuk is focused and exceptional. While there is a large selection of beef skewers, the crowd favourites are the Omani and Bahraini meat skewers. Each one is marinated in a secret blend of spices that makes the meat incredibly juicy and packed with flavour. The Omani skewers have a rich, savoury character, while the Bahraini version offers a spice profile that keeps you coming back for another.
At just AED 6 per skewer, you can sample the entire menu without a second thought. Find this spot near the Al Barsha South Park, serving round the clock from 6:30AM to 3AM. After grabbing your fill, you’re also just a short drive from the modern architecture of the Dubai Science Park.
