Menus

In this collection you will find menus from many different kinds of restaurants in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The menus vary in structure and layout. In this folder, we have included only menus written in English, or in English (Latin) script languages. Remember that you will also find many names of dishes written in, or transliterated from, other languages. In the file name, you will see the language(s), the level of difficulty of the transcription, and the name of the restaurant. The information we are interested in recording about the food on these menus is fourfold: the categories on the menus (main dishes, starters, add-ons, beverages, etc), the names of dishes on offer, the description of those dishes, and the price of each dish. We organize this information using the table encoding method in FromThePage. At the bottom of the transcription form for each page being transcribed, you will find a summary of our transcription conventions, including how to make the tables. In the footer you will find a link to Detailed Transcription Conventions. In case you do not live in the UAE and you are curious about the prices, 1 USD = 3.67 AED. Have fun and thank you!
