UAE’s best Drip Burgers now at Media City

DUBAI: Drip Burgers has invited food enthusiasts to come and try the burger voted best in the UAE at its new outlet in Dubai Media City.

Now, more people can try the trending burgers, which are available via Lounge Café Italiano, at Arenco Tower, opposite the American University in Dubai.

The disruptive burger brand, which combines top quality meat with Khaleeji flair, celebrated winning Virgin Radio’s Best Burger in the UAE accolade after DJ and TV personality Kris Fade was wowed by its premium Wagyu burgers.

The community-driven brand, launched by an Emirati couple who share a mission to provide great food, great vibes and banging flavours, serves up tasty burgers with a local twist.

Drip Burgers leapt onto the Dubai burger scene in the summer of 2021. Starting out as a side project and cloud kitchen in Al Barsha South, the brand’s Emirati-inspired burger menu has quickly gained popularity and recognition as one of Dubai’s best burgers in a very crowded market.

Ayushman Shukla, GM, Drip Burgers, says: “At Drip Burgers, we’re doing something quirky and unique with our brand. We’re popping up inside restaurants all over the UAE. And we’re inviting everyone to experience the best burgers in the country.”

“We love local culture, music and sport, and back our brand with community events and a deep support for sustainability in everything we do,” added the GM.

That invitation to try a Drip burger now extends to all the office workers in Media City, everyone who lives in the area, alongside AUD students – and if you’re super keen but not in the area, it’s a short walk from the Metro station, too.

Drip Burgers’ menu is the result of the owner Nadia’s collab with chef Khaled Al Saadi, one of the most celebrated and highly regarded young Emirati chefs – who delivered local flair through his deep understanding of the UAE food culture.

Drip Burgers delivers the taste of Dubai in a bun. This means lip-smacking flavour combinations influenced by Dubai’s mix of cultures, premium wagyu beef patties that ooze juiciness, crispy brined chicken and a homemade menu and sauces that drip with culture.

The homemade menu caters to a large spectrum of tastes inspired by the melting pot of cultures that is Dubai, ranging from Arab and Asian influences to American, British and more. Choose from a spicy Haar Chicken Burger marinated overnight in Asian spices, drizzled in a coriander and jalapeño sauce, topped with chopped jalapeños, red onion and fries, or a Levant-style OG Burger flaunting a tender beef patty smothered in Kashkaval cheese, pomegranate glaze, pickled turnip, sumac onion, garlic aioli, pomegranate seeds, romaine lettuce and tomato.

Of course, there’s the classics too, from cheeseburgers to crispy chicken burgers and tenders, as well as milkshakes and desserts.

Toppings and sauces are all important for that signature ‘drip’ – and guests can choose from caramelised bacon and onion jam or crispy fried onion toppings combined with either buffalo, honey sriracha, honey mustard or house drip sauce.

And for that Dubai flair, you can expect pistachio creams and nuts in the milkshakes and desserts. For the ultimate social media boast, why not grab a chicken Drip burger loaded with Chips Oman or Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? Maybe both? And there’s more – every order, whether via an outlet, from your car or via any of the main delivery platforms — comes with a free karak chai.

Drip Burgers newest opening in Media City is its second physical location in Dubai, with the first Drip Burgers venue in Arjan.

As well as taking the Best Burger In The UAE accolade on Virgin Radio, Drip Burgers was nominated as Best Casual Eats by female-forward social networking site That Dubai Girl. It was also a Zomato Best Burger nominee in the restaurant aggregator and food delivery company’s annual awards.
