Also i ordered a 9 PCs chicken bucket "SPICY" BUT I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE OF THE ORIGINAL FLAVOR & SPICY AS I ORDER VERY OFTEN. THEY GAVE ME ORIGINAL INSTEAD! WHICH IS NOT WHAT I ORDERED! Utterly useless! Never ordering from this branch again. I strongly believe they don't give a shit either. Thanks for ruining our meal!”

Choose Dine-in. For the best chance of fresh chicken, consider dining in rather than delivery and ask whether the Chickenjoy is newly cooked.
Check Takeaway. Before leaving, check the bag for gravy, requested chicken parts and the correct spicy flavour; several customers received incomplete or incorrect orders.
Allow Time. Avoid tight schedules during busy periods: a simple burger once took 27 minutes, while another delivery took more than three hours.
Check Late Stock. Late-night visits may have limited chicken choices, so confirm available parts before ordering rather than assuming the full selection remains.
Plan Parties. For a children’s celebration, book ahead; reviews describe smooth booking, preparation and hosting when the party was arranged in advance.
Bring Baby Gear. If visiting with a baby, plan for the reported lack of high chairs and consider takeaway if seating is important.

Chicken can be excellent when freshly cooked but very poor when old, reheated, cold or dry; one review also reported undercooked chicken.
Delivery and takeaway complaints include missing gravy, wrong chicken parts and incorrect spicy-or-original orders.
Preparation times can stretch well beyond expectations, including a 27-minute wait for a simple burger and much longer delivery delays.
A recurring complaint concerns the washroom’s smell, missing tissue and wet floor; another review mentioned tables left with garbage.
One reviewer found the seating unsuitable for families with babies, noting no outside parking and no high chair.

The Bottom Line
Jollibee Al Ghurair Centre is a Filipino fast-food stop in Deira, with Chickenjoy and spaghetti among the familiar comfort-food choices. The spicy Chickenjoy gets especially specific praise for being properly spicy while still tasty, and the mango pie is a long-standing favourite. Reviews also mention the Pistachio Kunafa Sundae, strawberry cheese pie and nuggets, so there is more to try beyond the standard chicken meals.
The branch is also used for children’s birthdays. Families describe organised programs, games, lively hosts and fast food service, making it more practical for a booked celebration than a casual family meal if you need structured entertainment. For ordinary dining, the atmosphere is less consistent: one reviewer found it clean and family-friendly, while others reported unclean tables and a smelly, wet washroom with no tissue.
Food quality and service can change noticeably by visit. Fresh chicken and quick delivery have both been reported, but so have cold or reheated Chickenjoy, missing gravy, wrong chicken parts and very long waits. One simple burger took 27 minutes, while a bucket delivery took over three hours.
If freshness matters, dine in and ask whether the chicken is newly cooked. Check takeaway bags before leaving, especially for gravy and requested parts, and confirm late-night stock because only breast was available for one customer. Seating may be awkward with babies: a reviewer reported no high chair and no outside parking.
