A chicken mixed rice dish—Machboos or Majboos offers a dining experience that is immediately reminiscent of the famous Indian cuisine dish, Biryani, earning this Arab rice dish the little moniker, The Arab Biryani. Machboos is extremely popular throughout the entire Arabian Peninsula, and almost all the Arab states consider it a national dish. While chicken is used as the most common choice of meat, you can get it with beef, lamb, shrimp, fish or any other meat that makes for a tiptop dining experience for you.
