What to Eat at Subway Emirates NBD - Meydan 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 Subway Emirates NBD - Meydan, 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.

Subroll with crunchy chicken Net −1
“Ordered subroll with crunchy chicken. The chicken was cold. Gave it back and they warmed it at a temperature which was extremely hot. The sandwich became moist and when I complained the manager said that it's because it's warmed twice. 🙄 I said it's because you didn't make it properly the first time and he said I will check my toaster.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Order ahead. Consider ordering ahead at busy times: one visitor found at least seven people waiting in the queue.
Check bread. Before paying, check which bread is available and whether it is fresh; availability has varied by visit.
Confirm sauces. If substituting sauces or requesting extras, confirm any added charge before the sandwich is made.
Check closing. If visiting late, confirm the kitchen is still accepting orders rather than relying only on the posted closing time.
Check heating. Ask whether the toaster is working before ordering a toasted sub; one review says microwaving was suggested instead.

The Bottom Line
Subway Emirates NBD is a counter-serve option in Nad Al Sheba for made-to-order sandwiches, wraps and custom fillings. Customers mention fresh subs, a foot-long Mexican-style sandwich, crunchy chicken and quick pickup, so it suits a straightforward snack or takeaway meal when you want to choose what goes into the bread. The strongest pattern in recent reviews is the service when the shift is running well: staff are described as kind, fast and helpful, while the store is often clean, organised and presentable.
Newly installed privacy glass has also made dining in feel a little more comfortable. Advance ordering may save time, since one customer found a queue of at least seven people. Quality and consistency are the main reasons to be cautious.
Reviews mention stale or cold bread, limited bread availability, a toaster that was not working and one report of raw chicken. Service complaints include incorrect orders, rude interactions, refusal to take an order at 6:25pm despite a stated 7pm closing time, and disagreement over ketchup substitutions or extra charges. Check bread, heating and sauce arrangements before the order is finalised, particularly if you are visiting close to closing time.
