Dubai’s dining scene is never short on innovative, new dishes, and if you’re done with your regular eggs on toast and tired of the same old dim sum, it’s time to spice things up. These outrageous eats are made to shock your taste buds and your Instagram feed. From oyster-infused ice cream to a shawarma that scrapes the sky, here are five crazy creations you’ll want to try at least once.

1. Wagyu Foie Gras Nigiri

Where: Origami, The Valley 77 – Al Khawaneej
This sushi dish features a combination of premium Wagyu beef and melt-in-your-mouth foie gras, drizzled with eel sauce for a glossy finish. A harmonious fusion of East and West, this dish offers a sophisticated experience, redefining what it means to indulge in sushi.

2. Borshchevka Shot

Where: Chaihona, The Greens
Is this a shot or a soup? It’s soup in a shot. This punchy Slavic sip is loaded with beetroot, garlic, and herbs, straight out of a borscht pot and onto your party table. Served cold and packing heat, this is one dish for the bold taste buds.

3. Burj Khalifa Shawarma

Where: Call 052-6843748 for details
A shawarma shaped like the Burj Khalifa? Where else would you expect this dish to be born? Dubai, of course. This gravity-defying meat tower is stacked high and spiced just right, a skyscraping tribute to the city’s love affair with flavour and innovative spirit. It’s as tasty as it is tall.

4. Oyster Ice Cream

Where: Moon Slice, The District – Dubai Mall
This is as weird as a dessert can get. This next-level sweet pairs cola-chocolate cake and caramel with a scoop of oyster ice cream – yes, you heard it right, oyster. Salty, creamy, and totally unexpected flavours, it’s an edible challenge for dessert lovers.

5. Spanish Breakfast

Where: Argentina Grill, Vida – Dubai Creek Harbour
Forget your boring breakfast basics; this morning, try out something more daring. How about eggs on creamy mashed potatoes with buttery chicken pate and a side of chicken broth infused with fresh herbs? It’s comfort food with a Latin twist, and it’s here to warm your soul. But be prepared to surprise your taste buds.

These dishes are proof that Dubai isn’t afraid to get weird and more delicious when it comes to innovative dishes. Try some of these daring dishes out this weekend.
