Entry No. 999 · Karak Chai · شاي كرك (Shay Karak)

Local Cafeterias

No research on Karak is complete without the nameless cafeterias. Look for a small shop with a "Rainbow Milk" sign and a line of cars outside. This is where the real soul of Dubai resides—one dirham at a time. **Chaiiwala (شايوالا)** — A secondary mention for this UK-born brand that has brought its high-quality Indian tea concept back to the region with great success. **Kava & Chai (كافا أند شاي)** — Noted for its specialty coffee but their Karak is highly underrated and served in very stylish mall locations. **Bait Al Chai (بيت الشاي)** — A local favorite in the residential districts known for its massive selection of flavored teas and very generous portions.
