Dubai’s most wallet-friendly food campaign is back, and this time, it’s already up and running. 10 Dirham Dish returned on 3 August and stays live right through to 30 August, giving residents and visitors a full month to eat their way across the city for next to nothing. Organised by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment as part of Dubai Summer Surprises, this edition spans over 170 restaurants and more than 700 locations, from mall food courts to café corners you’ve probably walked past a hundred times without noticing.
Dubai’s Favourite Deal, The 10 Dirham Dish Returns This August
The best part? There’s zero hassle involved. No booking, no voucher, or app to download. Just walk into any participating outlet, ask for the AED 10 dish, and that’s it.
Asian Flavours Lead The Charge
Quick bites dominate this year’s Asian line-up. The Noodle House is doing Chicken Siew Mai, Sumo Sushi & Bento has crispy Cheese Rolls and Mix Gyoza on rotation, and Shanghai Kitchen is serving Steamed Momos with iced tea, ideal for a shaded pit stop between errands. Seoul Street Café’s Mango and Matcha Bingsoo are the smarter play if the heat’s getting to you, shaved ice does more for AED 10 than most things can. Rounding it out: Shake Shack’s New York Plain Hot Dog, Pret A Manger’s Americano-and-Pastel de Nata combo, and Texas Chicken’s Mega Bites Sandwich Meal.
Regional Favourites Get Their Due
This is where the campaign gets genuinely interesting for anyone who grew up on this food rather than discovering it on a menu. Feka is doing its Iraqi Kebab Arouq Sandwich, a street classic that doesn’t usually show up on AED 10 lists. Both Mumbai Junction and Kailash Parbat are serving up buttery Pav Bhaji, and Dhaba Lane has a Malai Kulfi Stick that’s about as close to a Mumbai summer as Dubai gets.
Sweet Endings And Coffee Runs
Dessert options are stacked this year. Baskin Robbins has Kids Scoop Sundaes in flavours like Beach Sunset and Cinnamon Latte Crunch, Cold Stone Creamery is doing its Birthday Cake Remix, Gelato Divino has a Classico Cup with two toppings, and House of Pops is handing out handcrafted ice pops. For a coffee break, Costa Coffee is pairing a Chocolate Swirl pastry with an Americano, while Caribou Coffee has a coffee-and-croissant combo. Either one turns an afternoon slump into an AED 10 win.

How To Find Participating Restaurants
The full, searchable list of outlets and their AED 10 dishes is available on District by Zomato, the campaign’s official listing partner. Given how spread out this year’s 700+ locations are, that’s worth bookmarking before you head out rather than relying on walking past a sign.
Whether it’s a quick lunch, a coffee catch-up, or dinner plans with the family, 10 Dirham Dish is built for exactly the kind of low-effort food exploration Dubai’s summer calls for. With three and a half weeks still to go, there’s plenty of time to work through the list.
