What to Eat at AlBaik Mall of Emirates Dubai 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 AlBaik Mall of Emirates Dubai, 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.

Baik burger Net −1
“Got a big baik burger - did not realise how big it was. It tasted ok but too salty for my taste. It’s CHEAP that’s all I can give it and maybe that’s the selling point for these guys in my view. As definitely not the food atleast for me. AED24 for a meal (£5) Probably the cheapest mainstream burger place in Dubai. KFC but cheaper. I just can’t justify waiting in extremely long lines for fast food - wasted 40 mins for a BELOW average burger - this is what happens when you follow the herd :(”

“I specifically mentioned 1 burger without any mayo/sauces, and 1 normal. What happens? Both come without sauce, the cheese is cold when it's supposed to be melted (did they forget to add it and put it last second?), and 1 was with 3 pickles and the other with no pickles (I didn't mention anything about pickles when ordering).”

Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid Peak Hours. Skip weekend dinner if possible; one review reports waiting an hour or more in line.
Check Your Bag. Check the order before leaving, since one customer found a missing sandwich only after getting home.
Confirm Spice. If you need a non-spicy item, repeat the request at collection and verify the burger before leaving.
Allow Time. Build in roughly 30 minutes rather than treating this as a guaranteed quick stop.
Watch Pickup. Keep an eye on the collection process because the displayed status may not mean the food is ready.

The Bottom Line
AlBaik in the Mall of Emirates food court in Al Barsha is a budget-minded choice for fried chicken and a casual mall meal. Reviews repeatedly mention crispy, juicy chicken and the garlic sauce; spicy chicken nuggets and the Big Baik burger are also popular choices. Value is a major attraction.
Customers describe generous portions and reasonable pricing, with reported examples including a combo around 18 AED and a Chicken Burger for 17 AED. Tables are available in front of the restaurant, making it suitable for a straightforward food-court meal rather than only takeaway. The catch is speed and consistency.
Some visits are smooth even during peak hours, but others involve 25–40 minute waits, with weekend dinner reported at an hour or more. The hand-off can be confusing: one customer waited 35 minutes while staff searched for an order slip, while another said the “now serving” board showed food that was still being prepared. Food quality also varies.
Alongside hot, fresh chicken, reviews mention cold fries, warm or dry chicken, salty brine and soggy batter. Order accuracy has slipped too, including a missing Double Baik sandwich and a spicy burger sent instead of a clearly marked non-spicy one. Avoid peak periods and check the bag before leaving.
