Luqaimat, which means “little bites,” is a sweet and delicious Emirati dessert served with Arabic coffee, also known as Qahwa, and is a beloved part of Abu Dhabi Food culture. This delightful treat consists of crispy, golden-fried dough balls that are soft and fluffy on the inside, often drizzled with date syrup, sugar syrup, or honey. While especially popular during Ramadan and special occasions, Luqaimat is enjoyed year-round for its comforting texture and sweet taste.
Luqaimat is a sweet, savoury bite that finely combines the crunch and softness, making it a beloved treat among both locals and visitors. This dish is one of the most inexpensive dishes with a starting price of AED 10. “Luqaimat & Chebab”, situated at Al Banadir Street in Abu Dhabi, is the recommended place to eat Luqaimat.
