The Good Stuff
Wagyu flavours
Several diners enjoyed the juicy wagyu burgers, especially the Wagyu & Short Rib and mushroom versions.
Slider sharing
The Family Wheel is designed for sharing and lets diners sample four kinds of sliders.
Street-art decor
Rich Simmons artwork, neon colours and a selfie wall give the compact interior a distinctive look.
Strong shakes
Milkshakes are a recurring highlight, with one reviewer calling them exceptionally good.
Helpful service
Reviews commonly describe the staff as friendly, with servers offering menu recommendations.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check portions. Treat the sliders as small sharing bites and check the serving format before ordering.
Check availability. Ask what is currently available first; one family found croquettes, lobster rolls and wings unavailable.
Confirm deals. If you are ordering several sliders, ask whether the reported all-you-can-eat deal is still running.
Allow time. Build in extra time at busy periods because one visit involved a 35-minute wait for a simple order.
Try chicken. If choosing between beef and chicken, consider a chicken slider; one diner preferred it to the beef.

The Bottom Line
London Slide is an art cafe at Bluewaters Island where the main draw is a casual burger-and-slider meal with Ain Dubai views. The menu includes wagyu burgers, baos and playful drinks; reviewers specifically mention the Wagyu & Short Rib burger, Family Wheel and milkshakes. The colourful interior uses Rich Simmons street art, while outdoor picnic-style tables add a more relaxed setting.
The food record is mixed. Some diners describe juicy beef, excellent sauces and standout combinations such as Wagyu & Short Rib, mushroom wagyu, chicken fries and buffalo maple shrimp. Others found the beef chewy, the chicken poor or the burgers dry.
Portion size is the key practical caution: sliders are served in pairs of the same type, and several customers considered them bite-size or too small for the price. This is not a full-service restaurant: reviews describe self-service, although staff may still help with recommendations. Burger prices were reported between AED 45 and AED 75, with a Wagyu & Short Rib burger at AED 65.
Check availability before ordering, as one family found several menu items unavailable, and allow extra time if visiting when busy.
