Shopping at The Galleria on Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi is an experience into itself – a destination worthy of the UAE’s capital city and a testament to this vibrant urban center.

And if that weren’t enough… it has expanded!

Besides the high fashion brand-names and astounding architecture, there’s something that is never missing on an adventurous shopping expedition: a quick place to grab a bite to eat!

Got to re-fuel, so’s that the search for the perfect [insert favorite outfit / handbag / jewelry / perfume / make-up / suit / shoes / mustache wax…] can continue.

Tucked away deep into The Galleria Expansion, but eagerly hunted down for its juicy burgers and creamy shakes, is the trendy Shake Shack.

Yeah, it’s a fast-food joint – so what?

In fact, it fits in perfectly…

And it was born in Madison Square Park, in Manhattan, New York, so this is home for Shake Shack, and exactly where it belongs – because you may shop brand-names for clothes, and then go for a brand-name burger, too!

In fact, Shake Shack is famous not only for its burgers – and here is what caught my fancy the most:

A superb hot dog!

This is the Gucci of hot dogs!

This dog is 100% all-natural Vienna beef with no hormones and no antibiotics ever, served on a non-GMO Martin’s Potato Roll, and fancied up with delicious crisps of halal bacon, then smothered in the creamiest cheese ever – it was truly a delight!

Just look at those crispy bits!

I will not hesitate to say this is the most delicious hot dog I have tried in 20 years of visiting Abu Dhabi.

The menu plays a similar tune.

The burger patties are freshly ground and 100% all-natural Angus beef – no hormones or antibiotics ever – and the chicken all-natural cage free.
