We asked the very helpful and friendly ladies that work at the sheikh zayed museum in al ain where we should go to have an authentic emirate meal and the recommended al yahar. My wife and a walked in only to find that women should use a separate entrance :) but they were okay and showed us to the family area upstairs- seating is on the floor and eating is with your hands although cutlery was provided. We ordered a whole grilled chicken and a fish - had a tandoori like flavour and was perfectly spiced and cooked. However the most delicious thing was the biryani rice that came with it - spiced with cardamons, cloves, cumin. Absolutely amazing. All this, plus a salad and drinks for 50 aed I highly recommend a step off the beaten track to experience this wonderful simple food in an authentic setting.
