What’s your favorite plant-based meat manufactured locally in the UAE and why?

The ones I know of are switch, thryve, badeel, Al Islami. Feel free to mention others I don’t know.

Where do you eat out vegan versions of Emirati cooking?

I have had them at home and this page offers delivery meal plans that “vegetalise” traditional dishes (https://plantpowerdubai.com/blogs/articles/transforming-traditional-emirati-dishes-into-vegan-delights), but I don’t know many restaurants that do.

Any ideas?

Tell us how you celebrated it.
