Joanne was a fantastic guide, and it's really great to meet people who are even more dedicated than I to good eats. The Middle Eastern Food Pilgrimage Tour took us away from the glitz and glamor of Dubai, which I absolutely loved. The food featured on the tour was life changingly good. Arva (the co-founder) was also the best - I had complicated requests due to my tight schedule in Dubai and she went above and beyond to accommodate me. I am looking forward to my next trip to Dubai, whenever that may be, so I can join the other tours they offer. read less

We visited 5 different restaurants in the Al Rigga neighbourhood, all were excellent and we were offered so much to eat! There was a mixture of sweet and savoury and Farida’s passion & knowledge about the food & history associated with it was fantastic. We loved it so much we tracked down some more chicken shawarma’s during our trip. A brilliant, unique experience read less

We had Joanne as a guide and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, what a great guide! Fresh food (faves were the falafel and shawarma) plus interesting facts and humor about Dubai and it's development throughout the years. Definitely make it a point to get on this tour even if you have limited time in the city like I did! read less

This tour is a must do I don't know why it took me so many years to try it. I had Arva as my guide along with a handful of expats we were treated to a multi-sensory delight full of sights and delightful smells and endless nuggets of information that even locals who have lived here over 50 years wouldn't know. For example did you know Dubai is an Indian word do pai meaning 2 brothers for the old neighborhoods of Deira and bur Dubai?The food is just exceptional. For someone sick ad nauseam of fine dining and cookie cutter chain restaurants, umami packed Street food is the answer and the ladies at frying pan know every nook and hidden treasure in every back street of old dubai. Please do yourself a favor and book this for you and a loved one asap! read less

Great tour, many thanks. Great tour, many thanks. We did the Souks and Creekside walk food tour. We'll be back for another one if we're back in Dubai.

All in all a fun, informative and down-to-earth experience. If you don't find a date in their calendar which suits you, just try to contact them and see if they can offer you additional dates . read less

Hostess with the mostest. Nada was the consummate hostess - knowledgeable, personable, and so informative. The food was great but the stories were what made the evening.

The green crunchy falafel, hummus , knafeh, baklava, shawarma and the iraqi maskoof were top notch. Simple, no weird sauces and over the top concoctions, just plain simple high quality ingredients prepared well. The description and story telling shows how much research has been done on the topic. The portions can be as big as you wish but if you want to enjoy this, you will heed the advise of the guide; “pace yourself". read less

Very good walking food tour for tourists! Checked out really OG places for food. My visitors thoroughly enjoyed it; food was wonderful and Nada was very sweet and amazing. Definitely recommended!
