We Love Us Some NALA for Our Nights In
Dubai‘s vibrant dining scene just got a little sweeter with the news that you can now order from Dubai’s coolest canteen, NALA, on Deliveroo. This exciting addition makes it easier than ever to enjoy gourmet, fast-casual fare without stepping out of your home. Known for its unique blend of comfort food and upscale dining, NALA offers a menu bursting with flavors that cater to both casual diners and culinary enthusiasts alike.
If you haven’t discovered NALA yet, allow us to introduce you. Cafeterias and corner shops abound in Dubai, providing quick and satisfying meals for those on the go. While a roadside food stall is delightful occasionally, NALA represents a more chic interpretation of that experience. Located in Alserkal Avenue, it proudly stands as arguably Dubai’s only upscale canteen.
Brought to you by the tashas Group—owners of renowned establishments such as Flamingo Room, tashas, Avli, and Bungalo34—and spearheaded by the renowned Natasha Sideris, NALA redefines fast-casual dining in a refreshing way.
Opened earlier this year, NALA in The Yard at Alserkal Avenue serves gourmet fare that rivals fast-food giants without sacrificing quality. The menu features all the comforting dishes you might crave, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Takeout Tales
The exciting part is that NALA is now accessible on Deliveroo, enabling you to indulge in its culinary delights anytime, anywhere, from morning to night.
For breakfast, options abound, including dishes like creamy corn—parmesan polenta topped with grilled corn, crispy corn bites, bacon bits, and a perfectly cooked egg—as well as a delicious banana and pecan loaf served with whipped brown sugar butter.
As the day progresses, the menu transforms to include dishes like an eggplant salad with sticky miso and preserved chili, green pasta, SOF pita, and a hearty Harry’s Roadhouse sandwich adorned with sliced sirloin, Harry’s basting, shaved red onions, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, and pickles served on soft white bread.
Dishes range in price from Dhs26 to Dhs62. For beverages, you’ll find an array of coffee classics alongside fruity smoothies, innovative mocktails, and homemade sodas served in unique NALA-branded cans.
But If You Still Want to Dine In
Diners have the option to enjoy their meals in-house, whether opting for a cozy table indoors in the inviting canteen-style setting or soaking up the sun on outdoor tables at The Yard. For those in a hurry, a grab-and-go service is readily available at the counter.
And for pet owners, NALA is a welcoming spot with water bowls and a jar of treats for furry companions. You can also explore a retail section offering a variety of salts, spices, pickles, and sodas, allowing you to recreate your favorite NALA dishes at home.
