A large number of eateries are opening almost on a daily basis in Sharjah, but most of them go unnoticed. So we took it upon ourselves to find the best ones for you! 😉🍴
The below is ‘not’ in ranking order.
1. BLACK SALT
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Indian, American
Located in Muweilah, Sharjah, Black Salt created a lot of buzz on social media when it newly opened. They use the Molecular Gastronomy technique to craft edible creations that seem out of this world. 🤯 My favourite is their ‘Adana Kabab’ which is succulent and has a buttery taste to die for. Black Salt’s desserts are a must try, especially their Chocolate Molten Pot and Milk Cake in White Chocolate Sphere. 🤤
2. COFFIES
Price Range: Low to Medium
Cuisine: Coffee shop
Coffies (yes, that’s the spelling) is a speciality coffee and bakery shop in Sharjah. They serve some of the craziest ‘coffies’, from red velvet lattes to even evans icecream coffee (called the sand shake) 😍! If you still have some space in your tums, they have milkcakes, pancakes, and even pastas (for the ones that don’t like desserts) 😑
3. FEN CAFE & RESTAURANT
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Fusion
Fen is a hidden gem located inside the Sharjah Art Foundation, Mareija. 💎 The interiors are minimalist with traditional Arabesque hints in its decor. Relish at Fen with healthy, artistic food on your table in a calm and relaxing ambiance. Plus if you love ube, then this is the place for you! The Ube Leche Flan and the Ube Latte are particularly interesting. 😲
4. KUIZINN
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Japanese, Indian
In a group of people where everyone loves Japanese food, there is always one person who doesn’t like it. 😅 Kuizinn is the place where you can experience both Japanese and Indian cuisines. It is not a fusion, they have separate menus for both. 🍴Sizzling Sushi or Butter Chicken Kulcha? Choice is all yours. 🍣 🍛
5. KABAB BAZAR
Price Range: Medium
Cuisine: Afghani, Pakistani
Kabab Bazar is located in Mujarrah opposite Radisson Blu, Sharjah. The best part about this place is that there are separate bachelor and family sections, on the two corners of the building. 👌 They serve authentic Afghani and Pakistani food, and one trip there will guarantee you coming back for more! 🤤
6. NATTAS
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Portuguese
Nattas has the best Portuguese food in Sharjah. 🤩 Portuguese cuisine is mainly known for their seafood, but you can find quite a few steak and chicken dishes as well. Trust me when I say this, Nattas has flavours which you have never experienced before! 🤯 Do try out their freshly baked Pastel de Nata.
7. CAFE MARA
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: International
Café Mara is a cute little café in University City, Sharjah. It is a home-grown business and their burgers 🍔 and popcorn shrimps 🍤 are absolutely delicious. Triple Chocolate Heaven from their dessert menu is a must try and it’s sure to get you a few likes on your IG! 😉
8. PAPER FIG
Price Range: High
Cuisine: International
The ambiance of this place is amazing. The tables are always decorated with a vase of fresh flowers! 💐 The food is scrumptious and the desserts alone, are worth the visit. Don’t forget to get their French Toast and Brownies. 😋
9. ALWAN CAFE
Price Range: Low to Medium
Cuisine: International
Alwan Café is a cute café where you can color whilst waiting for your food to be served. 😲 Both, the quality and the presentation of food, are excellent. Bacon Potato Volcano and Deep Fried Burger is a must try at Alwan Café. Hands down, one of the best places in Sharjah! 🙌
10. FIRST AVENUE CAFE
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: International
I discovered this restaurant quite recently and it is a nice place to just sit back and relax with a plate of great food. Their desserts and main course are visually appealing as well. 💯
11. SHEZON BAKERY CAFE
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: International with an Emirati touch
Shezon is a quite simple restaurant in Muweilah, Sharjah. 🍴 The presentation of the food isn’t over the top and every item on the menu has an Arabic touch to it. Their portions are insanely huge and will leave your tummies feeling satisfied. 😋
12. CRISOL
Price Range: High
Cuisine: Tex-Mex, American
Crisol is a cultural melting pot of culinary brilliance. 🌟 Appetizers, main course and desserts are all presented brilliantly. My favourite here is the rocket shrimps. 🍤
13. ITALIERIE
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Italian
This restaurant should be on the top of the list for every Italian cuisine lover. 🍝 They are known for their delicious pasta and they also serve interesting flavours of gelato which you can’t really find elsewhere. 😲
14. LAST EXIT BURGER
Price Range: Medium
Cuisine: American, Italian
Last Exit Burger serves really fresh and juicy burgers and sliders, and they have a ton of other stuff on their menu as well. 🍔🍟 However, there is no dine-in available. But they do have a table where you can place your food and eat while standing, just in case you can’t wait any longer to dig in! 😂
15. EAT ROUTE
Price Range: Low
Cuisine: American
Eat Route falls under the category of cafeteria but their food is far from the likes of an ordinary cafeteria! It is absolutely delicious and their pancakes are a must try. 🥞
16. ZUSHI
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: Japanese
This is the best place for all sushi lovers! Even if you don’t like sushi, they have other incredible appetizers that will appease anyone. 🍣
17. WAFFEE STREET
Price Range: Medium
Cuisine: Desserts
Waffee Street is a beautiful café in Nasseriya, Sharjah. They specialize in coffee ☕ and desserts 🍮. Their matcha, black unicorn latte and pistachio pancakes are a must try.
18. SHRIMP HOUSE
Price Range: Low to Medium
Cuisine: Fast Food
Shrimp house is a literally shrimp heaven! 🍤 They have some really good chicken as well but they specialize in shrimps. However, there is no dine-in available here, so you might have to enjoy your food in the car! 🚗
19. THE FORK CAFE
Price Range: Low to Medium
Cuisine: Fast Food
This place has some really different dishes going on and one of their most famous ones is their fork balls which are available in different flavours. They also have some wonderful desserts and drinks as well. The fork bubble is a must try here. They too do takeaway only!
20. GRILL THAT COW
Price Range: Medium to High
Cuisine: American
What do you do when you can’t decide between a steak or a burger? Get a steak burger from Grill That Cow of course. They make a wide range of burgers freshly in their kitchen! Do not miss out on their Teriyaki Wasabi if you ever do visit.
