What to Eat at The Sandwich Box 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 The Sandwich Box, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of The Sandwich Box, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try OG. Start with the OG Smash Burger; one reviewer preferred it without tomato and lettuce to focus on the beef.
Choose Takeaway. Takeaway may be easier than dining in if you are visiting with a group, as seating is very limited.
Check Temperature. If ordering delivery or takeaway, check that the burger and fries arrive hot; cold food was a specific complaint.
Allow Waiting. Allow extra time during busy periods: a review linked the limited menu and noticeable wait to strong demand.
Plan Parking. Consider walking or public transport if nearby, since parking can be difficult and valet was reported at over 20 dirhams.
Late Visit. For a late-night craving, one customer described it as a 24-hour spot; confirm hours if timing matters.

Common Concerns
Tight Seating
The restaurant is small, with reviews describing only around six seats or a narrow bar; larger groups may struggle.
Food Temperature
One order had both burgers and fries served cold, while another delivery review found the patty not hot.
Sweet Sauces
Caramelized onions and sauces can make the burgers noticeably sweeter than expected, overpowering the meat for some diners.
Small Portions
Some customers find the burgers or fries small for the price, and one reviewer said a burger was not very filling for an adult.
Parking Difficulty
Parking can be tricky around the restaurant; one reviewer mentioned paying more than 20 dirhams for valet parking.
Customer-reported prices

The Bottom Line
The Sandwich Box is a compact smash-burger stop in Trade Centre, with the OG Smash Burger, TSB Signature Smash Burger, The Chick Flick and seasoned fries among the most-mentioned choices. Beef patties are often described as juicy and flavourful, while the chicken burger can deliver a crisp coating with moist meat. The Signature Smash’s chilli jam gives it a distinctive sweet-spicy angle.
The fries are usually a strong side: customers mention crispness, good seasoning and, in one case, Cajun fries with a gentle kick. Milkshakes also get attention, particularly the Oreo and vanilla versions. Service is commonly described as friendly and fast, and some diners like watching the food being made in front of them.
The trade-off is space. Reviews describe a very small interior, sometimes only six seats or a narrow counter, so takeaway may be more comfortable than bringing a group. Parking around the restaurant can be awkward, and the grill smell may linger on clothes.
Prices are viewed by some as reasonable for the area, but everything may be à la carte and portions can feel small. Check the food is hot, especially for delivery, and consider asking for less onion or removing salad toppings if you prefer the beef to dominate.
