Al Baik, the name synonymous with lip-smacking chicken in Dubai, needs no introduction. But let’s give it one anyway. This Saudi Arabian export has taken the UAE by storm, and for good reason. Known for its crunchy, flavorful fried chicken, Al Baik has become a staple for both residents and visitors alike.
But which location is best? Let’s find out:
Al Baik Al Nahda, Dubai
Nestled in the Union Coop Hypermarket, the Al Nadha branch is a hidden gem. As I bit into the “ALBAIK 8 Piece Chicken Meal,” it was like a symphony of flavors. The crispy exterior and juicy inside… sheer poetry!
10/10 – “So good, I might just move in next door!”
Al Baik Al Rashidiya, Dubai
The drive-through experience here is unparalleled. Sitting in my car, munching on the “Chicken Fillet Sandwich,” I realized convenience could indeed taste this good. Each bite was a delightful crunch that echoed within the hum of engines around me.
10/10 – “This sandwich deserves its own theme song!”
Al Baik Al Satwa, Dubai
Strolling down 2nd December Street, I found myself at Al Baik Al Satwa. The “Big Baik with Cheese” here was not just a burger; it was an experience. The cheese melted perfectly into the succulent chicken patty, creating a harmony of flavors.
10/10 – “It’s like a cheesy hug for your stomach!”
Al Baik Expo City Dubai, Dubai
The “12 Piece Jumbo Shrimp Meal” at Expo City’s Al Baik was a revelation. Each shrimp was perfectly breaded, and the cocktail sauce was the ideal tangy companion. It was like tasting the ocean’s bounty in the heart of Dubai.
10/10 – “I’ll join the shrimp fan club, first member!”
Al Baik Mall of the Emirates, Dubai
After hours of shopping, the “ALBAIK Shawarma with Garlic Sauce” here was a godsend. The tender chicken wrapped in a soft bread with just the right amount of garlic sauce was a comforting embrace for my weary taste buds.
10/10 – “I’d walk the mall ten times for another bite of this shawarma!”
Al Baik The Dubai Mall, Dubai
The original and, some say, the best. The “Double Baik Burger” at The Dubai Mall’s Al Baik was a testament to why this chain reigns supreme. The double layers of chicken were cooked to crispy perfection, making every bite a delightful crunch.
10/10 – “If happiness were a burger, this would be it!”
