If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll probably know that I love Indian food. From flavorful biryanis to succulent masalas, to street foods like pav bhaji, samosas, and pani puri, I can’t get enough.
In 2021, I took an amazing trip to the United Arab Emirates to experience the country’s best Indian food. I wound up spending several days in Dubai, a city known for its exceptional wealth, luxurious accommodations, and legendary nightlife. But it’s also one of the best cities outside of India to experience authentic Indian cuisine! I even caught up with my friend The Food Ranger for some incredible Indian Food!

I’ve eaten my way across the Indian subcontinent across four massive trips that took me to cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Guwahati, and Trivandrum. Along the way, I fell in love with the unique flavors, spices, and ingredients that Indian cuisine is known for.
With nearly 3 million people of Indian descent living in the UAE, it’s no surprise that their food has become an important part of the local culture. In this documentary, I’m taking you into Dubai with some special guests as we dive into the wonders of Indian food in the UAE. Let’s go!

Davids your shqipe🦅 follower🌍you ar the best❤.
It’s not a crazy fact that Dubai is 40% Indian. It’s called slave labour. It’s amazing what having money while others try to survive will do.
Indians are everywhere lol even underground 😅
David when you come to Mumbai next, try to cover the North of Mumbai for its "Portuguese" influenced food of the east Indians. There is this place called Vasai and a lot of East Indian Christians call it home especially in a small locality called Giriz. their recipes are very different from the regular street food you find in Mumbai. Vasai Palghar and Dahanu are 3 places which should be on your list, that is if you have not visited these places already !! There are some videos on youtube about food in these places if you want to check it out.

Everything looked delicious but the gold leaf thing is lame and gimmicky , it has no taste , just for people who are pretentious

cricket is the father to baseball like soccer is the father to football
An amazing mix of conversations and tasty food.
Maan a few minutes into this video and I started to feel hungry, even though I'd had dinner only a couple of hours ago.
Dude you know your Indian food!!!!! The expensive biriyani looks soooooooo good. Also the girl you ate it with is 😍😍😍😍 too bad she has a husband lmfao
The magician guy was very condescending and not understanding of the culture… still love your channel❤

I love how in all his videos you see how much respect he has for their culture and for them when he shares food. The willpower it must've taken to not lick your fingers or wipe them I mean sure the licking of the fingers is bad table manners wherever you go but still top videos as always
Yo! You and Trevor were tight man.. Great chemistry and so nice to see Ting again.. (At 1:08:56) "Ting" : It's not thàt spicy! Ow.. Yes, That is Spicy. 😂
