If there’s one thing Dubai residents love as much as the cooler months, it’s a killer dining deal.
Every year, Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) pulls out all the stops to make summer in the city unforgettable. But amid the 90% retail discounts, luxury car raffles, and Modesh World family fun, one event stands above the rest for foodies: The 10 Dirham Dish.
The list of participating restaurants for the AED 10 Dish is vast—featuring nearly 200 venues across more than 600 outlets. Rather than presenting a massive, overwhelming list of every single venue, the best way to tackle it is by breaking it down by Dubai’s popular neighborhoods.
