Djiboutian cuisine is a mixture of Somali, Afar, Yemeni, and French cuisine, with some additional South Asian (especially Indian) culinary influences. Local dishes are commonly prepared using a lot of Middle Eastern spices, ranging from saffron to cinnamon.

After meals, homes are traditionally perfumed using incense () or frankincense (), which is prepared inside an incense burner referred to as a ''dabqaad''.
