You can now order from Dubai's coolest canteen on Deliveroo
NALA in Alserkal Avenue is perhaps Dubai's only boujee canteen. Brought to you by tashas Group, parent company of iconic hotspots like Flamingo Room, tashas, Avli and Bungalo34, and helmed by the formidable F&B force Natasha Sideris, this is a new brand of fast-casual dining – a complete flip on its head.
NALA opened doors in The Yard at Alserkal Avenue earlier this year, and serves up gourmet delights on the round-time of a McDonalds without compromising on any of the goodness and flavour. Think of all the comfort foods you might crave – that's what they have to offer. Takeout tales
The big news is that NALA is now available on Deliveroo, so all their delicious varieties are now available to savour any time, anywhere, from day to night.
In the day, you can order from a breakfast menu featuring favourites like creamy corn – parmesan polenta with grilled corn, crispy corn bites, bacon bits, and a golden egg, or the banana and pecan loaf, served with whipped brown sugar butter.
From noon, the menu switches up, with options like the eggplant salad, dressed in sticky miso and preserved chilli, the green pasta, the SOF pita and the Harry's Roadhouse stacked with sliced sirloin, Harry's basting, shaved red onions, tomato, iceberg lettuce, and pickles on soft white sliced bread.
In true canteen fashion, they also have snacks – specialty cookies, available in six flavours, from spiced caramel to double chocolate. All dishes are priced between Dhs26 and Dhs62. Then there's beverages, with all your coffee house classics served alongside fruity smoothies, innovative mocktails, and bubbly homemade sodas served in NALA branded cans.
But if you still want to dine in
You can dine-in, choosing between a table indoors in the simple but welcoming canteen-style restaurant, or bask in the lovely sunshine on the tables outside at The Yard. Or if you're in a rush, grab and go from the out-facing counter.
And did we mention it's pet-friendly, with water bowls and a help-yourself jar of treats for your four-legged friend? There is also a retail section, so you can shop an array of salts, spices, pickles and sodas to recreate your favourite NALA dishes at home.

Dubai: 15 new air-conditioned rest areas for delivery riders set up by RTA
As the UAE summer picks up steam, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) continues to do its part to provide some respite for delivery riders from the sweltering heat. The authority has introduced 15 new air-conditioned rest areas for delivery riders at key bus and metro stations across the city. The new rest areas have been set up at the following locations: Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Bus stations Gold Souq Al Satwa Al Jafiliya Oud Metha Metro station exits e& (Exit 1) Al Qusais (Exit 1 and 2) Emirates Towers (Exit 1) Insurance Market (Exit 2) Centrepoint (Exit 1) Al Furjan (Exit 1) Business Bay (Exit 2) DMCC (Exit 2) ADCB (Exit 2) BurJuman (Exit 4) The newly established temporary rest areas are being supplied with 7,500 ready-made hot meals courtesy of the UAE Food Bank, in partnership with Deliveroo. The establishment of these temporary rest areas complements RTA's efforts to provide air-conditioned shelters for delivery riders, which previously included the installation of 40 permanent facilities across key locations in the emirate. The exterior design of these shelters was carefully developed to reduce the impact of direct sunlight while ensuring effective insulation without obstructing visibility. Internally, the shelters are equipped with various amenities, such as water dispensers, mobile phone charging stations, and ample nearby parking for motorbikes, among other features that enhance rider comfort and promote their compliance with traffic rules and regulations. The initiative supports RTA's ongoing efforts to improve road safety, enhance quality of life, and provide essential services and comfort for this segment during the midday work ban. The ban, which prohibits outdoor work under direct sunlight from 12.30pm to 3pm daily, is currently in effect and will continue until September 15.
