A crispy, soft wafer-thin traditional Emirati flatbread Regag is one dish you cannot miss when you’re in the UAE. The word Regag comes from word raga meaning thin. This bread served for breakfast or dinner, usually topped with samen (melted butter) and Mehyawa (red fish sauce) or folded into pieces and then eaten with cheese. During Ramadan the Regag Bread cooked daily to accompany Thareed.
Meanwhile, this bakery in Dubai serves everything under AED 15.

Nestled in the buzzing streets of Jumeirah, Al Labeeb Grocery is known to serve fresh, lip-smacking Regag. The tiny hole-in-the-wall grocery serves over 10 variants of Regag bread.
Those who like something hot and spicy can try the one that’s loaded with Chips Oman, hot sauce, egg, chilli and cheese. If you like the sweet version opt for Regag filled with Nutella. And the best part, the bread would cost you just AED 6 and you can also get it delivered to your car. Best pick-and-go snack, isn’t it?
