Smash-burgers that sparked a craze in London are officially coming to Dubai. Manna, the wildly popular UK brand known for its nostalgic flavors and distinctive style, is set to open its first international location on November 6th at Alserkal Avenue. This isn’t just another burger spot opening; it’s a cultural crossover, bringing the dynamic energy of London’s cutting-edge food scene directly into the heart of Dubai’s contemporary culture. By choosing Alserkal, a district dedicated to creativity and community, Manna is signaling that their brand is about more than just great food, it’s about a vibrant lifestyle.
The smash-burger trend has exploded because it offers a high-quality, deeply satisfying take on a familiar classic. Manna perfected this art at its initial London spot and later expanded to iconic locations like Tottenham Court Road. The brand has cultivated a loyal following that loves its commitment to simplicity, flavor, and its bold, unpretentious vibe.
Manna’s expansion into Alserkal Avenue is a thoughtful move. Alserkal Avenue, with its concentration of over 70 creative organizations, is the pulse of Dubai’s design and art world. As Feroz Gajia, Manna Co-Founder, commented, “Expanding into the vibrant Alserkal Avenue feels like a natural extension of my East London home, and truly feels like the perfect fit for Manna.” This synergy means the venue will serve not just food lovers, but also artists, designers, and creatives looking for high-quality, authentic dining.
The Dubai menu is a carefully curated selection that honors the UK classics while introducing a local flair. Fans will be thrilled to find the core items that built Manna’s reputation:
- Classic Smash: The original, featuring smashed patty, American cheese, mustard, and all the essential fixings.
- Double Manna: Twice the smash, twice the American cheese, built for maximum indulgence.
- Hot One: For those who like fire, this patty is spiced up with hot oil, chilli cheese, and pickled jalapeños.
However, the real excitement lies in the exclusive addition tailored just for Dubai: the Wagyu Kimchi Smash. This signature creation features a premium smashed patty, Ssamjang mayo, kimchi, and seaweed, blending classic Wagyu luxury with a trendy Asian twist. To complete the experience, the famous Seasoned Waffle Fries are available both classic and Hot Flame style. This mix of comforting favorites and bold, new flavors ensures Manna appeals to both its existing global fanbase and the diverse, trendy Dubai audience.
Manna’s arrival marks an exciting new chapter for Alserkal Avenue’s dining scene and the brand’s international journey. Go find your favorite smash-burger, whether it’s the timeless Classic or the bold, Dubai-exclusive Wagyu Kimchi, and taste what London has been raving about.
Visit Manna at Alserkal Avenue starting November 6th and taste the international flavor everyone’s talking about!
