The 9 Best Fries in Dubai That Had Us Frying to the Moon
When I was a kid, fries were my favorite food. I’d get excited just seeing them on the table—hot, crispy, and golden. No matter where we ate, I always asked for fries. Even now, as a grown-up, nothing has changed. If fries are on the menu, I’m ordering them.
It doesn’t matter if I’m at a fancy restaurant or a tiny food stall—I still feel happy when a plate of fries lands in front of me. In Dubai, I found so many kinds of fries: some with cheese, some with sauces, and some that were just simple and perfect.
So if you’re like me and never outgrew your love for fries, this list is for you. Here are the 10 best fries in Dubai that made my inner kid (and adult self) very, very happy.

If you love fries (and really, who doesn’t?), you should stop by New York Fries in Dubai Mall. This fast-food spot from Canada is known for doing one thing really well—fresh-cut fries with lots of delicious toppings.
You can go for their classic loaded fries or try the popular truffle fries–they’re crowd favorites!
If you’re feeling extra hungry, try the Perfect Large Meal. It comes with a hot dog, fries, and a drink. You can also try their poutine, a Canadian favorite that’s cheesy, and comforting.
But it’s not just the food that makes this place great. The staff are friendly, fast, and helpful. Even when it gets busy, the service stays quick and cheerful.
Pro Tip:
If you’re not very hungry or just want a snack, go for the regular size. The large is big and good for sharing (unless you have a big appetite, of course).

For great fries in Dubai, head to Bake My Day at The Beach in JBR. This Dutch-Belgian café offers fresh pastries, sandwiches, and light meals, but the Belgian fries are a highlight!
The fries are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and served just right with ketchup and mayo. You can enjoy them as a snack or with sliders, hotdogs, or burgers.
The café is also known for its homemade treats. We recommend trying the apple pie! The pistachio kunafa is another favorite, along with their fresh focaccia sandwiches and fresh juices.
The staff is kind, quick, and always happy to help you pick something from the menu.
For the best experience, come early in the morning to enjoy a peaceful breakfast. The outdoor seating has a great view of the beach and Ain Dubai!

Address: Dubai Mall – 1st Floor – next to Waterfall – Downtown Dubai – Dubai
Contact Details: +971 4 419 0370
Operating Hours: Monday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Tuesday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Wednesday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Thursday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Friday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Saturday – 10 AM to 12 AM; Sunday – 10 AM to 12 AM
Price Range: $$-$$$
If you’re in Dubai and craving really good fries, Shake Shack is a place you should try. While the spot is best known for its burgers, the other items are worth trying too!
The cheese fries are an absolute star. The crinkle-cut fries are crispy, and the cheese is melted just right. If you want something even more flavorful, try the cheese fries with shredded beef bacon. If you prefer something more classic, the plain fries are still worth ordering.
And don’t stop at the fries! We recommend trying the Shake Stack—a double cheeseburger with a soft bun and juicy mushrooms inside. The double cheeseburger is also a great pick if you’re looking for something simple but satisfying.
Prices are a bit higher than regular fast food. Burgers can cost around AED 40, but they’re freshly made, and you can taste the difference. The wait is usually just 5 to 10 minutes.
Pro Tip:
Check out Shake Shack in Al Barsha to satisfy your late-night cravings! The drive-thru on Sheikh Zayed Road is open 24 hours, while the Mall of the Emirates branch stays open until 1 AM.

Price Range: $
Hyperama in Al Quoz is a fun and family-friendly South African diner that brings the taste of home cooking to Dubai, and their fries—called slap chips—are a big hit!
Slap chips aren’t your usual fries. They’re thick, soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and often soaked in vinegar and sprinkled with salt.
You’ll find these fries all over the menu—served on their own, loaded with sauces and toppings in “Chips with the Works,” or on the side of dishes like Fish & Chips, Russian Polony & Chips, and the Toasted Steak Special. Even the breakfast plates, like the Lekker or Mzansi, come with fries.
But it’s not just about fries. The menu is full of bold South African dishes. The diner is also kid-friendly, with a small arcade and play area to keep little ones busy while adults enjoy their meals.
Pro Tip:
Hyperama is a great spot for families, especially those with young kids or elderly guests. The diner is wheelchair accessible, with a step-free entrance and wide aisles for easy movement.

One of the best things at KFC Dubai is the fries. You can choose regular golden fries or go for the spicy ones if you like a bit of heat. We recommend trying the Fried Chicken Strips and Fries or the Zinger Supreme combo—these are favorites for a reason.
Many KFC branches in Dubai, like the one at Dubai Mall, have self-order machines and are easy to visit with kids or someone using a wheelchair.

If you’re looking for proper chips or just a comforting meal, Saylor’s Fish and Chips is worth the visit.
This spot was made to feel like a real British “chippy,” bringing a little piece of London to the streets of Dubai. And yes—the fries (or “chips,” as the Brits say) are the real deal.
What makes this place special is how fresh everything is. The fish is never frozen, and the chips are thick, crispy on the outside, and soft inside—just the way they should be.
You can try classic dishes like haddock and chips with mushy peas, or go for something different like halloumi fries with sweet chili sauce.
There’s more than just fish and chips, too. You’ll find warm meat pies and even deep-fried Mars bars if you want a sweet treat. You can also enjoy extras like curry sauce, malt vinegar, and crispy “scraps”.
Saylor’s is loved by many British expats, but anyone can enjoy the tasty food and cozy atmosphere. It’s great for families, with a kids’ menu and crayons to keep children busy. You’ll find branches in Dubai Hills and Meydan, with free parking nearby!
Pro Tip:
Try British drinks like Vimto Zero, Dandelion & Burdock, or Cloudy Lemonade—they’re hard to find anywhere else. They go perfectly with the meals!

Most meals come with fries and a drink, so it’s easy to enjoy a full meal without spending too much.
The service is also great, and the staff are friendly and helpful! Food comes out fast, usually in under 10 minutes. The place is clean, bright, and good for families too.

People know it for its big, tasty burgers and crazy milkshakes, but the fries are just as good and worth trying.
Here, the fries are not just something extra—they’re a big part of the meal. You can get classic Idaho fries or sweet potato fries. But the real stars are the special fries! We recommend trying the Truffle Fries with garlic sauce and parmesan cheese, or the Cheese Fries topped with beef bacon and sour cream.
If you like bold flavors, the Texas BBQ Fries are packed with beef, BBQ sauce, and spicy toppings. Finally for dessert, try the Crazy Shakes topped with cookies and even cake slices.
