Dubai’s food scene is heating up for August as Dubai Summer Surprises launches the Dhs10 dining initiative citywide. More than 700 outlets under 188 restaurant brands are offering one signature dish for just Dhs10. Whether craving street food, desserts or gourmet bites, this campaign offers unbeatable value across Dubai’s malls and food destinations.
A trend toward budget meals with big flavors is clearly resonating with diners. This initiative connects with author Pete Hackett’s assertion that diners now seek curated small bites with maximum variety at low cost.

There’s no need to book or collect vouchers. Visitors simply walk into a participating outlet between August 1 and 31, place their order and enjoy the dish. With everything from Deira’s Gold Souq to City Walk, each meal offers a chance to taste global flavors locally.
This reflects growing appetite for culinary exploration without overspending. It suits students, families, work lunches or weekend wandering. Participating hotspots include Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Festival City and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
Last year, families posted social media snapshots of their metro-themed Dhs1 snacks. This year, locals are tagging food buddies in group stories about curry rolls and frozen treats at Dhs10 each. The campaign feels less like a sale and more like a shared citywide celebration of flavor and affordability.
For the thousands of casual diners who typically avoid fine dining, this initiative makes tasting trends accessible. It supports smaller food ventures while encouraging footfall across multiple neighborhoods. It’s purpose-driven value and discovery rolled into one.
Treat yourself this August at participating restaurants across Dubai with Dhs10 dishes that pack real flavor. No tickets needed, just appetite. Visit outlets in your neighborhood or check the full list online to plan your foodie route!
