A
Thriveni Restaurant
This dirt-cheap Indian eatery is usually packed with guest workers from the subcontinent eating thalis, biryanis and curries. As is usually the case in worker's cafeterias, women are required to sit in the family area, which in this case is rather shabby but is worth tolerating unless you enjoy being ogled.

Al-Sahari
RAK's locals keep coming back to this popular eatery for its friendly service and cheap tasty food. How can you resist the charm of a place that boasts ‘our objective is salubrious food and the sweet taste and the special arabic kindness'? The expansive menu features Lebanese staples, a few Emirati favourites, with some ‘international' dishes thrown in, from fried Sultan Ibrahim fish and shish tawooq to ‘Chateau Briand' and ‘chicken Maggi soup'.

Sanad Winner Cafeteria
Local guys keep coming back to this popular fast-food place (especially late at night, when the pavement is packed) for its inventive pizzas (Dh15 to Dh30) – try the ‘mango craze' with beef strips, green pepper and slices of mango. There's also tangy shwarma (Dh4), generous club sandwiches (Dh8) and big burgers (Dh7).

Al Gahwa al-Shaabiya
This traditional barasti coffeehouse, overlooking the lagoon, serves mint tea, local coffee, ginger milk and Arabic snacks. Extremely popular with Emiratis, it's a wonderful place to sit in the evenings, play backgammon and watch the city lights reflected in the water of the lagoon.

Al Shafah Bakery
This hole-in-the-wall Afghani bakery, a few doors down from the Vegetarian's Restaurant, does delicious ‘pizzas'. Try the cheese and zaatar (thyme), or mutton with cheese. Eat them while they're piping hot, straight out of the stone oven.
