This Friday, Dubai’s new dining street will welcome a cult European smash-burger brand to One Central, with Junk Smash Burgers opening its first UAE location on 3 October at 25 Jump Street. The arrival marks the label’s first outlet in the MENA region and follows the group’s rapid roll out across France and the UK.
Junk’s story is simple and punchy: founders Majed Mansour and Wissem Ben Ammar took a pandemic-era idea and refined it into a focused smash-burger concept built on consistent technique and high quality ingredients. The brand’s roots across Paris and London inform the menu, which prioritises straightforward, craveable flavours over gimmicks. That DNA is arriving in Dubai with a tight menu and a service model designed for both dine-in and delivery.
The offering lands where premium comfort food meets street cred. Highlights include:
- Premium wagyu beef varieties, smashed for crisp edges and juicy centres.
- Soft brioche buns that cradle melted cheese and signature sauces.
- A streamlined menu for speed, consistency, and easy scaling across cities.
- Puffy Cookies on site for a Paris-born, New York-style dessert pairing.
These choices signal Junk’s “quality-first” approach, pairing elevated raw materials with a minimalist kitchen workflow that keeps the focus on the burger. Customers looking for a reliable, flavour-forward smash will find the menu honest and immediate, while dessert fans get a sweet counterpoint with Puffy Cookies’ thick, soft cookies.
Placement at 25 Jump Street adds context to the launch. The strip, located beside 25hours Hotel Dubai One Central, is being positioned as a licensed dining and nightlife corridor, housing a curated mix of international and homegrown concepts. Junk will sit among a dozen other food and beverage names, bringing a casual burger option to a lively new hub aimed at both locals and visiting crowds. That location gives Junk access to late-night footfall, events, and a mixed audience of hospitality-goers.
Reserve a taste this weekend. Visit 25 Jump Street at One Central from 3 October to try Junk’s wagyu smash, pair it with a Puffy Cookie, and see how a focused European burger concept translates to Dubai’s fast-moving food scene.
