Dubai’s A Dish for 10 Dirhams campaign is back, running from August 3 to 30 as part of Dubai Summer Surprises 2026.
The promotion gives residents and visitors access to a curated selection of dishes at 170-plus participating restaurants spanning more than 700 locations across the city, including shopping malls, food courts, and cafes. No bookings or vouchers are needed.
Organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, the campaign is designed to drive footfall to local businesses while giving diners a low-cost reason to explore the city’s food scene during what is typically a quieter summer month.
Asian dishes feature prominently this year. Options include Chicken Siu Mai at The Noodle House, cheese rolls and Mix Gyoza at Sumo Sushi and Bento, steamed momos with iced tea at Shanghai Kitchen, and Mango or Matcha Bingsu at Seoul Street. .
Regional flavours are also well represented: an Iraqi Arouq Kebab sandwich at Vika, Pav Bhaji at Mumbai Junction and Kailash Parbat, and Malay Kulfi Steak at Dhaba Lane.
For those after something more familiar, Shake Shack is offering its New York Plain Hot Dog, Pret A Manger has an Americano and Pastel de Nata deal, and Texas Chicken is serving a Mega Bites Sandwich.
Dessert and coffee options round out the offer. Baskin-Robbins is putting forward its Kids Scoop Sunday in flavours including Beach Sunset and Mango Sticky Rice, Cold Stone has its Birthday Cake Remix, and Gelato Divino is offering a Classico mug with two toppings. Costa Coffee and Caribou Coffee are both running AED 10 pastry-and-coffee pairings.
Zomato’s District is the official partner for the campaign, providing a listings tool for diners to find participating restaurants and browse the AED 10 menu options.
Dubai Summer Surprises 2026 is sponsored by Commercial Bank of Dubai, with strategic partners including Emirates Airline, Majid Al Futtaim, Al Futtaim Group, Dubai Holding Asset Management, ENOC, and Talabat.
