What Raqaq is
Very thin crisp bread, eaten with cheese or honey.
Raqaq is listed as a bakery item in the United Arab Emirates guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
