Me so hungry Net 0

Only neutral feedback

“Located inside Dubai Mall, it was my visit visit for a quick business lunch, ordered a beef burger and a dish called ‘me so hungry’ the experience was good, the presentation was also very nice, we sat outside as the weather was nice, though there wasn’t many seats in shades. You get a glimpse of the fountain but it’s particularly blocked by other buildings. Back to the food although it was nicely presented and tasty, but it was a little cold, especially the beef burger with melted cheese shouldn’t be cold in my opinion, hence the reason for 4*.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Choose winter. Visit in cooler weather if you want the terrace and fountain view; several reviewers specifically preferred outdoor seating in winter.

Allow time. Build in extra time at busy periods: one review records a 40-minute food wait, and another mentions waiting for a breakfast table.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Small portions

The Atlantic salmon was described as good but small, with no side included; Eggs Benedict was also not filling for one reviewer.

The Bottom Line

Jones the Grocer is a market-café in Downtown Dubai and a useful Dubai Mall stop for breakfast, coffee, casual meals or a terrace table by the Dubai Fountain. The traditional English breakfast is repeatedly described as filling, while the Ultimate Mr. Jones Wagyu burger is a standout for burger fans and may be large enough to share.

Breakfast choices also include Smokey Florentine, French toast and vegan mushroom toast. For something smaller, reviewers praise the coffee, croissants, tiramisu and honey cake. The menu includes vegetarian and healthy options, plus lunch and dinner dishes such as sliders, bao buns, salmon and fish and chips.

The indoor setting is comfortable, while the terrace is the draw when Dubai’s weather is cooler. Outdoor tables can offer fountain and occasional Burj Khalifa views, though shade is limited and one reviewer found the fountain partly blocked. Free Dubai Mall parking was mentioned by a customer, and Entertainer vouchers were reportedly accepted, including BOGO offers on mains and breakfast items.

Service is the main variable. Some visits were fast and friendly, but others involved delayed ordering, long waits or drinks arriving after food. If timing matters, avoid peak periods and check your order promptly; also consider adding a side to the salmon, which one reviewer found small without one.
