What to Eat at Aggressive How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Aggressive, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Aggressive, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

The ox boneless oxtail Net +1
“His passion was quite evident and on his recommendation, we opted for The Ox (boneless oxtail) and Honey Jerky Chicken burgers. Is it possible for you to drool while you’re eating?? Oh yes it is! I usually don’t eat a full burger but I devoured the oxtail burger in under ten minutes! The honey jerk chicken burger with their homemade honey jerk sauce was just as phenomenal, hitting all the flavour notes that you wouldn’t find in any other ordinary burger. Ain’t no basic burgers here! The oxtail was cooked to succulent perfection and the jerk chicken was oh so juicy and packed just the right amount of a fiery punch.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Control Sauce. Ask the waiter to adjust the burger sauce if you prefer a less messy or less heavily sauced bite.
Go Evenings. For a quieter visit, aim for the evening; one reviewer found it calm and not too busy then.
Use Parking. The restaurant suits takeaway or car dining if the small indoor area is full; reviews mention carhop service and plenty of parking.
Eat Fries Hot. Order loaded fries when you can eat them promptly, as one review found them best while hot.

The Bottom Line
Aggressive is a compact burger spot in Al Safa built around beef and chicken burgers, wings and loaded fries. The Jammed Burger is the clearest recurring favourite: reviewers describe it as juicy and flavourful, with one version pairing tender beef and crispy bacon. The Ox Burger, Brisket Burger and Buffalo Chicken Burger also receive strong individual praise.
Sides are not an afterthought. Reloaded Fries are saucy and generous, while other reviews highlight crisp seasoning and truffle sauce. Buffalo wings have a particularly loyal following, although one diner found the buffalo flavour underwhelming.
The Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce is worth considering if you enjoy a bold, spicy addition. Expect a small indoor dining area, sometimes described as only two tables, with outdoor seating and a spacious parking area for takeaway or car dining. Evenings are generally described as quiet.
The café has been reported as hot, and outdoor seating is less appealing during the UAE summer. Ask for sauce control if you prefer a lighter burger, and arrive earlier if you want the full menu available. Prices are not uniformly viewed as low: one review specifically questioned paying over 50 Dirhams for a small brisket burger.
