What to Eat at Subway 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, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Check hours. Check the outlet's current opening hours before an early visit; one customer found it closed at 7 am.
Allow time. If you are in a hurry, avoid assuming instant service: one review says the order took a long time.
Check parking. Allow extra time for mall parking, which one reviewer found difficult to enter.
Confirm ingredients. Ask about ingredients before ordering if mozzarella matters, as this outlet was reported not to stock it.
Prefer dine-in. For a more consistent sandwich, consider ordering in the restaurant rather than delivery.

The Bottom Line
Subway in Al Wasl is a straightforward counter-serve choice for a build-your-own sandwich or salad, especially when you want something quick and relatively health-conscious. Reviews mention the Subway melt as a reliable filling option, while the tuna fish sandwich also received a positive nod. The City Walk setting is the main extra: customers describe a neat spot outside City Walk with views toward Burj Khalifa.
The experience is not completely consistent. Some visitors report friendly, customer-focused service and fresh, saucy sandwiches, but others describe rude interactions, slow preparation and portions that felt more like samples. The small counter and limited tables also make this more useful for takeaway than for a long meal.
Check current opening hours before an early visit; one customer arrived at 7 am to find it closed. Parking around the mall can be difficult, so allow time if you are driving. Ingredient availability is worth confirming too: reviews specifically mention missing mozzarella, as well as occasions when avocados and mushrooms were unavailable.
Delivery may be less dependable than ordering in person, with one customer reporting a noticeably different bun-to-meat ratio.
