What to Eat at Vegan Burger - The Dubai Mall 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 Vegan Burger - The Dubai Mall, 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 Vegan Burger - The Dubai Mall, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

“• The Truffle Cheeseburger tasted good The Not-So-Good: • Size & Appearance: This was the biggest disappointment. The display and menu show big, juicy burgers, but the reality is a tiny burger about 4cm tall. It’s very misleading compared to the advertising. 🍔🤏”February 2026

Aloo tikki burger Net +1
“Can't complain, amazing taste - we tried as a family at the Dubai Mall, ordered for Aloo Tikki Burgers and Falafal Wrap along with fries for an indulgent lunch after a tired morning, as usual a big walking session at the Dubai Mall post visiting the Burj. Its located in the Food court at the lower levels. Every item is made to order and takes time, but comes with great taste, crispiness and freshness.”

Peri peri fries Net −1
“Ended up being 3 AED more which wasn't an issue if they actually were peri peri fries, never have I had anything peri peri flavoured which is SWEET!! So for just spicy and sweet (not even any salt) fries I paid extra. You can't just throw together paprika, chilli powder and sugar and call it peri peri lol.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow Time. Avoid peak hunger if possible: one review records a 40-minute counter wait after a quoted 10–15 minutes.
Check Upgrades. Ask about the price before upgrading fries; one customer paid 3 AED extra for peri peri fries they disliked.
Set Expectations. The burgers may be smaller than the promotional images, so check the portion before ordering a full meal.
Delivery Buffer. If ordering through the restaurant website, allow extra delivery time rather than relying on the quoted preparation time.

The Bottom Line
Vegan Burger is a fully plant-based fast-food counter in The Dubai Mall’s Lower Ground Food Court, making it an easy Downtown Dubai stop when you want a meat-free burger without leaving the shopping circuit. The menu is more varied than the name suggests: reviews mention the Truffle Cheeseburger, Smokey Bacon Burger, Aloo Tikki Burger and Falafal Wrap, alongside fries and drinks. The Truffle burger is the safest starting point in the reviews.
Diners describe its truffle sauce as rich but balanced, with a juicy, well-textured patty. The Smokey Bacon Burger also has loyal fans, though it is more divisive. Fries are often praised for their crispness, and mojitos are a popular refreshing match for a heavier meal.
First-time vegan diners regularly say the flavour surprised them. There are practical caveats. This is a busy mall food court rather than a destination restaurant, and wait times can vary sharply: one customer waited 40 minutes after being quoted 10–15.
Another found the burger only about 4cm tall and unlike the menu photos. Website delivery also ran late in one case. Check upgrade prices and portion expectations before ordering, especially if you are hungry and short on time.
