“of these I went for the double stack Smokey ( AED 39+) which wasn’t pretty to watch for those next me but it was a good burger to inhale. There was a nice crunch from the tempura onions and the patty’s were moist just like they’re meant to be. The extra cheese did what it was meant to but honestly I could have gone with a single. It was ugly delicious all the same.”

Check Classics. Ask whether High Jamz or Millionaire High is currently available, as menu changes have disappointed returning customers.
Try Regular Fries. If you prefer crisp, less-sauced fries, choose regular fries rather than loaded fries.
Expect Outdoors. Plan for takeaway or outdoor seating; one reviewer described the outlet as mainly designed for takeaways.
Visit Off-Peak. Evenings, especially weekends, can be busy, so an off-peak visit may be easier.
Drive There. The discreet location can be difficult to find, and one review says getting a taxi back may be inconvenient.
Ask Specials. Ask about off-menu options, including the vegetarian special with crispy kale.

Some customers find the burgers smaller than expected, especially given the price.
This is a small takeaway-oriented setup with mostly outdoor seating rather than a conventional dining room.
Recent reviews say some burgers can arrive dry or less saucy than before.
A returning customer was disappointed that the Millionaire High and the former wings were removed or changed.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“There’s four Beef and two Chicken Burgers, of these I went for the double stack Smokey ( AED 39+) which wasn’t pretty to watch for those next me but it was a good burger to inhale”Google review · February 2022
The Bottom Line
High Joint Al Manara is a compact burger spot in Al Wasl that suits a quick, flavour-forward meal more than a long restaurant sitting. Customers come for smash-style beef burgers, particularly High Jamz, and for creative chicken choices such as the Spicy Mango Slaw Chicken Burger. Truffle fries and loaded fries are popular sides, though the loaded version is not universally praised.
The setup is modest and discreet, with takeaway service, car dining and mostly outdoor seating rather than a spacious indoor dining room. Parking has been described as plentiful, but finding the outlet can take some effort, and one reviewer found it difficult to get a taxi back. Weekend evenings may also be busy.
Feedback is strongest when the burgers are juicy, the buns soft and the sauces balanced. There are also useful vegetarian and vegan choices: an off-menu crispy-kale burger was recommended, while one diner called the vegan burger their best ever. That said, portion size and value divide opinion, and recent reviews mention dry burgers, removed wings and the disappearance of the Millionaire High.
Check current availability before ordering if you are visiting for an old favourite.
