Shake Shack is a modern “roadside” burger restaurant that originated from a hot dog cart in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park in 2004. Known for its high-quality, fresh ingredients and community-focused approach, the restaurant offers a variety of menu items including burgers, hot dogs, frozen custard, and beverages. With multiple locations across Dubai, including spots in Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall, and Dubai International Airport, Shake Shack prides itself on using all-natural ingredients and maintaining a fun, lively atmosphere. The restaurant is part of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group and has expanded globally, with a mission to “Stand for Something Good” in both food quality and community engagement.
Reviews for Shake Shack in Dubai are mixed, with customers praising certain aspects while criticizing others. Positive reviews highlight the delicious crinkle-cut fries, creamy shakes, and red velvet ice cream. Many appreciate the comfortable seating areas and courteous staff. However, some Dubai-based customers have noted a decline in quality compared to international standards, with complaints about soggy patties and inconsistent taste. The restaurant is generally considered a bit expensive for fast food, with an average cost of AED 80 for two people. Despite these criticisms, Shake Shack maintains a loyal customer base and continues to be a popular dining option in Dubai’s malls and airport locations.
