Dubai's Biggest Thali (50 Indian Foods!) 🇮🇳🇦🇪
ฝัง

- I ate a massive 50 item thali in Dubai with a little help from @LukeDamant
This massive plate full of a variety of Indian food is supposed to be shared between 4-5 people but we 2 hungry vloggers decided to give it a go on our own.
We visited Ponnusamy Restaurant in the Al Qusais area of Dubai with empty bellies and a huge appetite, as we both had a good workout in the hotel gym before going. We were feeling confident about this food challenge until we actually saw the challenge that we were up against with out own eyes.
The thali plate was so big that is didn't even properly fit on a table that's designed for 6 people. It was hanging over the edges.
When they say it's 50 items, that means 50 unique items. Each small container has something different. Lots of veg dishes as well as chicken, mutton and fish. No beef or pork.
Quite often in Dubai the Indian restaurants have beef options because most are run by Kerala people, but this restaurant was run by Tamil Nadu people. The head chef is from Chennai, where I've visited in previous vlogs.
The thali took 20 minutes to be served after ordering it and we were given some bowls of soup as a starter while we waited. I'm not sure if they counted towards the 50 items or not.
When the thali was brought to the table we immediately knew there was no way we'd be finishing everything on the plate so we had to be smart. There were a lot of rice dishes there but we didn't focus too much on them. Instead we went for the meat and veg dishes in gravy, but didn't take too much of the gravy. For me, not wasting any meat is the most important thing.
The first desi dish that I tried was also my favourite from all 50 items. I'm not sure if that was because I was so hungry that it made it taste even better. It was paneer butter masala. The smooth creamy gravy was delicious and the paneer was melt in the mouth soft.
A perfect start to the meal and after eating a variety of delicious items it was the perfect end with some gulab jamun.

Happy new year man!
Dale you're a superstar mate.
Just a matter of time and some girls will joining your entertainment 😉
Big boss Dale 💥💥💥
You are my favourite travel vlogging youtuber just because of these 30 - 90 min videos, especially with your minimal editing and your non-stop waffle.
I like your vlogs mate. No background music and very authentic experiences. Happy new year from Sydney, Australia! You've earned a subscriber!!👍
💙💙💙
I’m shocked that Dale knows his Indian food names more than Luke !!! Good lad 👍👍
Luke is stuck on cheese paratta!!!!
@@heraldfrancis lol 😂
Door: Staff Only
Dale: *walks in points camera at the kitchen workers and waves while shouting hello hi*
😂😂 this dude is something else
Unlike from other thalis, this one looks like individual items are prepared specifically, like sometimes masala used is same for most of the items but here everything is prepared with different taste. Wow!
The man is hungry. Feed him!
We needed you there to help us Jason.
Jason that good man here :D
@@Baghelilokgeetsargam363 kisko?
@@Dale_Philip bro that strange orange dish is called kehwa
If this guy isn't part Indian, he's an honorary one at this point! Food looks bloody fantastic. 😆👌🏽
We claim him as our own Scots can talk to the wall about this .
Shut up man. Why should he be Indian ?? He is Scottish, and proud of it.
He should try some of our delicious beef recipes as well😋
Please don't use bloody and Food together.
@@aarohi.5272 U lack English metophorics
This looks a great opportunity for someone who's new to Indian food to sample a lot of different foods. It makes the meal an event, everyone tries the same thing one by one and can talk about what they think. I suppose this is one of the reasons in Indian households meal time is more than just eating food, it's about getting together and it being an occasion. Something perhaps lost on certain cultures.
Both of you are awsome ... N the way did you guys jump into the thali and explaining all those dishes very well...just like India wala tarka
👍🏽
You have to admit, indian food is the best in the world. Once you wet your buds its never going back youbstart to look for indian food in any country you go to.
Ok easy there cowboy, thats not true not even in the slightest
Really great video and what an amazing Thali! I have always loved the concept of a Thali. I prefer variety rather than one dish of the same thing. Happy New year Dale, looking forward to many more great travel and food videos in 2022☺️
I have recently started watching your videos. It’s great to see your love for Indian foods.
Tamarind is meant to bring sourness to food. But a tamarind sauce has sugar added to balance the sourness. 🙂
Not sugar, we add jaggery. Whenever I make tamarind sauce for pani puri I add some jaggery, tamarind and dates.
One tip: if you mix rice and curry well with your hands then the food will taste next level,,, just putting curry on rice will taste different as you taste strong curry in one chew and plain rice on other chew
Mix chicken n veg n eat em together
u can use spoon aswell......
@@riteshsehwag2907 you can but that's like eating pasta with ur fingers, when eating Desi eat with ur fingers
One tip: shut up 😔
@@mrb2643 mix all 50 items including orange juice on to rice and eat it 😋😋
Happy New Year Dale, and Luke two of my favorite Guy's!!! The food looked amazing can't wait to see what's next. Thank you for bringing us to all the wonderful places of the world!! Loved the hour vid too. Much Love💕💖
Dale can describe even 100 dishes with different taste and you will feel that you are eating it with him. 😀 Amazing ❤️
Its so awesome to see people from different origins really enjoying such flavourful dishes from India. Honestly eating so much is so damn difficult i would be done with just 2 sides and some rice lol.
I thank both of you on behalf of all my Indian friends.
It is a little depressing though to see how some white people kind of stink away from our food sometimes without ever really trying it based on the look or just the fragrance of our flavourful recipes. I tried introducing some of my friends here in Canada to home cooked Indian dishes i guess I just have weird friends but their definition of good food is fried chicken so they cant enjoy my food.
So it really brings joy that there do exist people with a more open attitude towards variety and give all the dishes an even chance to treat their tongue 😁
There is plenty of people from all around the world especially in cities with a ton of culture. Cities like London, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles are all great examples where you’ll have more interesting options than basic foods like fried chicken.
@@MrGhostOg I feel you speak out of experience so I take your word for it. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😄
@@aakashjana6225 thank you for sharing too. I feel it’s so interesting to hear about others experience but just never give up hope. I know that I would love what you cooked for me.
Try making a trip to New York too. I’m sure you would absolutely love it!
@@MrGhostOg ofcourse! NY aint too far from Canada .
You guys and gals do the best food, I go out often for food and it's almost always Indian food.
😍❤️💙💙💙love your videos,Dale.Too much honesty and reality you put into it which is the loveliest part.🇮🇳🇮🇳
Dale and Luke! Great start to a new year! Happy New Year to Dale and Luke! 2 of my top favorite bloggers. So enjoyable and you made me laugh and hungry at the same time. Thank you for another great video.
Dale the reason the restaurant was still jammed at 3 pm is because here in dubai a lot of people prefer to eat lunch after 2 pm, and dinner is usually after 8 pm. *Its not only dubai, but common throughout the entire region
Paneer butter masala usually mixed with biryani or pulav or naan.. White rice doesn't suit that... Wished someone inform you.. anyway that one also good
This is what I needed, I was little down for the past few days, and now I see ur video, this will definitely cheer me up, Dale is back again with another video, I am excited, will watch it now
Happy new year to you Mr.Dale💪. Looking forward to lots of your vlogs in 2022
Dale eating something without making mess is kind of IMPOSSIBLE 😂😂😂 I was literally waiting for him to make mess as the food came and tadaaa he touched it and the rice is all over the table 🤐😂😂😂
Wow amazing food yummy 😋 Happy New Year Dale looking forward to more great food vlogs from you this year ❤😉😘
Come india to enjoy this foods 😁😁
Smiles on faces dining on food is priceless!!! Such a beautiful creation every bite must be unbelievable.
Thanks, for sharing.
Keep up the good work Dale! I love your video’s:)
Hey Dale ..really missed your videos !!
But now you are back , it's time to binge watch all your upcoming videos & especially of Pakistan series.
Lots of love from 🇮🇳 ❤️
I got upset when you don't get the last gulab jamun....you are a nice person..love from India 🙂
An hour with my 2 fav vloggers! Happy New Year indeed!! 🏴
I'm seriously addicted to your videos!! You know it's an amazing vlog when an hour feels like 10min because it flies so fast as you enjoy it - thanks for making such great vlogs. I truly learn alot and it almost feels like I'm travelling travelling you - which truly feels good in this pandemic where travelling is not as easy anymore. Thank you Dale :) ♡
Love Mira from Singapore x
This Guy Deserves Millions Subscribers ❤️❤️
Popularity of India food is increasing every year and this was best food vlog of this year2022 👍
But indians are becoming more narrow minded which is going to strike back..
@@timeisup6844 what do you mean?
@@XanderMarshall wait and see..
New video! Will be a charm to watch through! Thank you so much for these travel vlogs Dale, I have now watched pretty much all of them and loved every single bit!
I think the food in dubai is way better than here in Edinburgh, I had adventure many restaurants here none of them was authentic Indian.
You should always start with appetizer (dry item) like tandoori chicken, followed by Roti and gravy & final Rice. If you have rice first you stomach will get full in the initial stage. White rice is usually eaten in the end with dal toppings plus other curry and veggies.
I was about to comment the same
This dish is perfect for this type of video. We get to see so many types of curries. Never heard of boiled egg curry!
Eating indian pickle just by itself is like eating a spoonful of just marmite 😂
Hi Dale this was a fantastic party, I have never seen such varieties served for two at an Indian restaurant, really fantastic and the dishes looked very delicious. I enjoyed the whole hour of your food performance. Thank you for sharing a fantastic moment and I wish you a happy new year and a bright future with more unique videos. Be safe my friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
its surprising that you know the names of the food dishes so nicely and correctly . looks like you are a fan of indian food ... thats nice .. some of the dishes are really healthy
You have such amazing videos and you look so adorable 😊 Wish I saw this earlier so I could have visited in my last Dubai trip. Will surely visit next time!
Definitely try the parotta with the Paneer curry next time, loved the vid!
If somebody tell you in the comment, make shorter video or you complain to much, please don't listen to them,
keep make long videos and keep complaining, because that are some of the reason why i watch your video 😅😅😅
And he already makes shorter videos on his facebook page. I refrain from watching those and wait until he releases the full long video on youtube
Yeah I agree. His channel is Netflix alternative at this point. Nothing like watching an hour long episode of Dale Philip to end the day.
the people who want shorter videos should get some ADHD meds
😂
Nn
31:55 Oh butter masala! I had that some months ago, really nice and strong flavour. Sort of a red curry, and has that butter taste. I still think about it sometimes.
The knowledge on the items he has on food items is pretty good . Considering he is foreign person to india .
Dale is on the spot where a person stops tasting indian food and more like starts feeling it .
I've been binge watching all your videos, love them! Keep them coming. Happy New Year
U guys r really nice n down to earth,keep ur videos up and have subscribed!!
50:45 Luke really wants to have Gulab Jamun so bad 🤣🤣
We are so honoured that you are liking our Indian food....
yeah spicy i know 😂😂
Thankyou for showing interest and love ❤️👍
Why are you honoured? If a indian does this no foreigner is honoured they don't care!

Very good review, thanks for sharing your experience
Very nice vlog Dale, appreciate your efforts. Just came across your channel from couple of days , since then watched all your videos. Just for your information you should also meet indians who r non keralits. Food and ppl both r amazing in India whichever part you go. U should visit indians in other parts of the world. I wish to meet you once and answer all ur queries regarding Indian food to best of my knowledge boz ur sooo much eager to explore. Love your simplicity.
Your buddy is having fun..nice to see you both enjoying the food.
It is cheaper than Italian
The price is $40 bcz it's in the UAE.
In India you get it at around half of the price.
May be for $15-20.
Amazing Indian food 😎🇮🇳
As a vegetarian, I am happy that you loved Paneer Butter Masala over meat stuff!! You should also try Malai Kofta. It's basically fried potato and paneer balls in mild tangy gravy. And it's usually served with a dollop of butter on top.
Just had to google what paneer is, sounds tasty
@@davidgriffiths3713 you should definitely give it a try
@@davidgriffiths3713 Try paneer someday I am sure you will like it, but still meat is way better and is complete protein.
@@nausheensiddiqui8745 well you guys hype meat so much it isn't that great it's okey but paneer is better just sayin
@@divineflu34567 Maybe you reside in India that's why you don't like it. I was born in India and never liked meat there because they just don't know how to make it except spicy chicken tikka masala ,biryanj etc
Try meat here in UAE you will know why paneer is nowhere close to it.
I like paneer too but meat is way better.
I like how you trying to identify the dishes and I'm surprised how you know Gobi, gulab jamun, tanduri chiken, paneer etc. That's awesom 👍
thanks for sharing Dale Philip, Happy New Year To You...
Delicious Indian food presentation 👍I like it 😋👍Good job guys 👏😁🤣🤣Happy New Year 🍾✌🤣🤣
Happy new year
Lol halfway through the 3rd item, the “community spoon” became a thing of the past! That’s awesome!! 😆
😋😋 Vera level dishes are out there in your table dale eat well my brother
Dale : Drops rice on table accidentally ......
Meabwhile (Luke) : It just can't be a Dale Philip's video if something like that doesn't happen 🤣🤣
Just when I think my day is winding down Dale comes in with a corker! Hope you had a great new years day mate!
@@australianoutback shut up his videos are awesome what are you doing with your life? Probably sat on your ass doing nothing
@@australianoutback If you don't enjoy it , dont watch it. I find it very interesting.
@@australianoutback enjoy watching 'people' eat.......no.
Do I enjoy watching Dale's videos, yes. Strange how that concept didn't enter your heed!
@@australianoutback Absolutely
You cant imagine how happy i was when i saw a 1h video from you in Dubai
Cant wait to go home and watch it ! 😇
That colourful crunchy flower like snacks are called FRYUMS in english but locally they are known by differet names in different parts of the country like in my city JAMMU they are called PHOOL VADIYAN. It is an Indian tea time snack 😋
That's a lot of food👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Dale you’re so good at tasting Indian food ❤
Looks delicious, my mouth watering here
Dale mate I'm addicted to your vlogs, I just have it playing in the background when I'm doing my won't thing or I'll watch it while working out, cheers mate
The food looks AMAZING!
👍🏽
Yes that's indian food and I am from India
@@spokenenglishwithsuman8240 calm down
Got about 2 minutes in and had to order a veg thali for myself. And I didn't have to share my gulab jamun! 😂
Stick with your Christian food
@@jusalii 'christian food' 🤣 like that's even a thing. If it was, I bet it'd be bland and judgemental as shite.
@@jusalii What's Christian food mate?
Never heard of it.
So we have entered an era where food is associated with religion.
Love the Happy vibes you two both have.
That's a lot of food and your game plan is good to cover as much as possible, you got a reasonable mastery of the Indian food items, great. I am from Hyderabad, we eat curd rice at the end, may optionally use a pickle or an onion piece or a curry as a side dish.
Brilliant guys, that was a massive meal, and looked amazing, i would have enjoyed that
Happy New Year guys!! 🥳🍻 I'd definitely tackle all that, looks delicious ❤️
Currently my favourite YT vlogger. So down to earth. Keep going
I love watching Dale, Kurt Caz, Mav and Harold on their adventures! Those are my fav TH-camrs
Wow it looks yum 😋 😍
I love this video.. You did a good job with Thaali... Keep it up guys...
Looks delicious 😋 😍 👌
Hey dale I am from Tamil Nadu…while you eating chicken veg fried rice you added one soup right we never do that in Tamil Nadu.basically it’s not soup we call it as rasam which is made from tamarind and good for cold..next time try rasam with plain rice sure you would like it.
A North Indian here and thanks for the tips
Good watching people enjoying Indian food.. flavors of India is what most of them literally love to taste..
Guess u need to workout more after such a huge meal 😁😁
Wow What a Delicious food 😋😍 Yummy food 😋 Very nice Vedio bros Lot's of love from Qatar 🇶🇦♥💖
Instead of guessing by yourself you guys can ask to waiter for information about dishes. 🙏🏻 It's good to see you exploring the world 🌍
Oh my Godness, where have I been all this time, I just watched all your videos at the end of 2021, I really enjoyed all your videos, you are a true traveler, Your trip with Luke was amazing, the last two months I watched all your videos marathon, and it turns out you have visited my country Indonesia, thank you for visiting Indonesia, hopefully you can visit Indonesia again with Luke not only to samosir, there are many beautiful places in Indonesia that you must visit and the variety of food is delicious, The man with strong legs, hopefully always given health and long life to be able to travel the world, we love you from Indonesia 😘

How much food is too much food 😉 Happiness on the plate & absolute joy seeing you guys enjoying the yumminess!!

More hotel videos please Dale!! Although best to avoid any hotel room bathroom tours the morning after this meal. Delicious but enough to give anyone irritable bowels. 😆😆
It won't give you irritable bowels. If you eat anything in excess it would affect 🙂
Wow that looks super yummy Dale ! Please share some haha
Cool ....both u guys r amazing
Loved this video so much much sir Dale. Much love from India 💚:)
