There are almost a dozen of food trucks in Dubai which offers food actually worth eating. You can find them if you head towards Emirates Golf Course on weekends especially on Saturday between 4 pm to 11 pm. You can get a taste of over more than a dozen various cuisines, courtesy more than 15 trucks parked there.
Else you can head to Salt at Kite Beach. They provide nice burgers and milkshakes. For Dh 40, you can get a chicken cheetos burger & for Dh 25, vanilla shakes. A melt also remains parked outside which can be viewed through Ocean View Hotel & offers ice lollies and frozen yoghurts. It was founded by 2 moms in Dubai whose idea was to make available healthy options to the Dubai people. The yoghurt is available for Dh 20 and is fat free.

Indian foods fans will be interested to know how you create your own roti wrap, or involve in a chicken tikka Punjabi pizza for Dh 35. If travelling around Dubai just for a food truck is quite much, then take your friends and head for the last exit.
