Weekend Dining at THE GRILLL SHACK in Dubai Mall

Of all the amazing places to dine in Dubai Mall, none represent the excitement at the heart of this great city than THE GRILLL SHACK – and it may seem a little far-fetched, but consider that shopping – and I mean SHOPPING! – is the foundation of Dubai.

And there is no shopping like at Dubai Mall!

And it follows that dining at THE GRILLL SHACK – directly overlooking the main shopping concourse, on all levels, and the immensity of the open space above the mall’s ice rink, gives an experience that is exclusively “Dubai style”!

Technically, it’s the Dubai Mall food court – but, THE GRILLL SHACK is nothing like a food court stall, and you can expect a fully swinging restaurant specializing in grilled meats, but also surprising with a variety of fresh offerings.

See for yourself:

But I’m getting ahead of myself…

The ambiance is electrifying, thanks to that prime location overlooking the ice rink – it truly must be experienced to understand.

THE GRILLL SHACK sports an open kitchen at the entrance – closed in by clever glass, so the flames at the grills impress and entertain as you walk in, but it contains the actual cling-clanging and smokey aromas of a kitchen in full swing.

And then you reach the balcony, and I’m sure everyone just gasps in surprise!

However, amazing view that it is, the main theme of THE GRILLL SHACK is really its dedication to freshness – and that is just as impressive.

The ice tea is home-made, sweet and tangy, and already the garnish gives away this dedication to freshness.

The salads carry forward this focus…

And so the setting becomes clear, and THE GRILLL SHACK may be famously dedicated to juicy grills, but the underlying foundation is an entire approach, which sets the scene no matter what your preference is in terms of ordering.

However, the shiny crown jewels on THE GRILLL SHACK menu are indeed the grilled items!

A mastery of perfection of the live flames leads to exceptionally delicious steaks, burgers, fish, chicken, and all sorts – in fact, the menu reads like a condensed encyclopedia of fire-grilling.

The burgers are magnificent – above The Fat Boy smiles his charm, topped with Jack cheddar melted cheese, balanced upon crispy onion rings and jalapenos, and hugged by tasty beef bacon, all enveloping a massive Angus beef patty… a burger that you’ll remember!

Starters and sides and sauces are plentiful and varied.
