Al Ain Way, Nad Al Sheba

We trust that you have heard of Porotta. It is a South Asian bread made of wheat flour (maida). Porotta Making is an art that requires precision, perfection and dough skills. We have met "Porotta Masters" who make the task look very effortless by wrestling with 50kg of dough to make about 800 Porottas a day. Handling the dough which is very sticky, is a tough task. The manual labour involved in it and the physical strength required are so demanding that only a very few men could  take up the job of Porotta making in a busy restaurant. These amazing men do not have to visit the gym to keep themselves fit, for sure.

Porotta is as much tasty as it is unhealthy. Food lovers know that but cannot say no to the humble, tasty Porotta. Porotta sandwich rolls are very popular in Dubai. These sandwiches are available in many choices of fillings right from chicken strips to sausages. we found a gem of a Porotta sandwich today from a very unexpected place. Al Ain Way Cafeteria. It is on the Dubai-Al Ain road, next to the petrol station on the opposite side of Dubai Polo club. Their food is not very good, particularly the tea. There are very few exceptions such as Roti and Dal but most of their dishes are very oily, of poor quality and bad taste. They do not have a very clean dining area, service is not satisfactory and finding a parking spot near it is a nightmare. 

Lets come back to the Sandwich. They have a lot of choices right from eggs to sausages as fillings. They even have two choices of chicken. A spicy one and a “normal" one. The normal one that costs 4 Dirhams each, is the star. The chicken pieces were a delight to chew through. The sauces were of slight sweetness and saltiness. The Porotta was very well made. And the price was very reasonable. We recommend to park the car nearby, wait for their serving staff to come to the car and order it from there. One sandwich is enough for an average person’s lunch. The good part is that it is wrapped in a very well manner that no bits an pieces will fall off from it to ruin the car interior while eating while you travel. Happy eating.

Note: The rating is on the basis that the order is placed from the car and the diner has never entered the dining area. This rating only considers their "Normal Chicken Porotta Sandwich". Almost all other dishes from them are of One Star rating.
