Guy Fieri’s Kitchen restaurant is actually hidden on the first floor of Reel Cinemas, Dubai Mall. Very much close to the theatres. The interior is typical American. Televisions inside can been seen playing Guy Fieri’s famous TV shows.

From left: Mocktail – AED 35(pineapple, mango, mandarin oragnes, oranges, orange juice, lime and lemon juice + cherry juice, COLD Press juice(Tropical fruit Tree- AED 28 – pineapple, lemon, lime, orange, apple + coconut water)
Guy’s shakes – AED 45 – From left(Campfire Smores – vanilla ice cream + chocolate syrup, three homemade smoke(graham cracker, marshmallow, chocolate) blended together then topped with a giant amores, chocolate sauce, fluff & chocolate shavings, Nutella chocolate cake – chocolate ice cream+nutella & piece of 7 layer chocolate cake blended together & topped with another piece of 7 layer cake, Nutellla, chocolate shaving, whipped cream & cherry)

Ordering a milk shake is as good as ordering a dessert, especially the Nutella chocolate cake as they top their milk shakes with a piece of dessert. The milk shakes definitely look attractive but they could taste better and the same is the case with their mocktails. The drinks and the desserts are the two areas I thought they should improve.

Trash can nachos – AED 48 – beef chorizo, beef bacon and cheese stuffed pickled jalapeño poppers, breaded in beef bacon- panic & fried crispy, vegetable cruidite + tangy house made ranch

The Trash Can Nachos is one item that you don’t want to miss ordering from their menu. One of the best experience you are going to have with Nachos. All that cheese and beef on that Nachos is going to mesmerize your taste buds. Perfect for a movie!

Dragons breath chili – AED 38 – low and slow all beef chili, red kidney and pinto beans, sour cream, cheddar cheese, scallions + sweet cornbread
Buffalo chicken wings – AED 38

The chicken wings were really good. The chicken wings at Guy Fieri is available in 3 different sauces(brown sugar bbq, buffalo and siracha). We tried the buffalo and it was outstanding. Loved licking every bit of this chicken wing. The buffalo sauce was really good on it. Dragons breath chili is supposed to be an American favourite. It wasn’ t as spicy as you’d expect from it’s name. I felt it was a bit overloaded with red kidney beans.

Lamb Burger – AED 64 – Grilled feta studded lamb burger, seasoned fries, cucumber, rocket, tomato, onion + tzatziki on a garlic butter toasted whole wheat bun
Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken sandwich- AED 48 – Sweet hawaiian teriyaki-bbq sauce glazed chicken breast, grilled pineapple, Monterey Jack, shredded cabbage, tomato + Maui onion straws on a garlic butter brioche roll

If you are ordering the burger I highly recommend to start by trying their beef burgers first. They make beef very well at Guy Fieri’s kitchen and they taste great. I was surprised to see the chicken sandwich come like a burger. The brioche bun that came along Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken sandwich was soft and buttery.  The fries that came along these burgers were commendable. Infact you get 3 kinds of potato fries and they were really crisp and delightful to eat them. It’s that moment when you really don’t care much about calorie and oil fat, as you are enjoying every bite of it.

New York Strip Steak – AED 138 – 10oz NY Strip,
18 hour BBQ Brisket – AED 88 – low and slow smoked brisket, brown sugar BBQ sauce, Texas toast, six cheese Mac n cheese, + sweet corn bread
18 hour BBQ Brisket – AED 88 – low and slow smoked brisket, brown sugar BBQ sauce, Texas toast, six cheese Mac n cheese, + sweet corn bread

We also tried the best of the beef from their menu. I can tell you one thing for sure, you are going to appreciate the BBQ brisket. You can truly tell it’s been slow cooked for 18 hours. Super tender and juicy. The steak was not bad either but for the price I’d say I’ve eaten better ones. I suggest to try the brisket first, if you were to make a choice between the brisket and steak.

Cheese cake challenge – AED 45 – New York Sytle marble cheesecake topped with salted potato chips, pretzels + hot fudge

We tried their well advertised cheese cake. It’s actually half a cake but this cheese cake hasn’t reached my expectations. Dubai is a real paradise for desserts and I think Guy Fieri’s Kitchen need to step up their level if they want to be competitive in the dessert category. For me the best part at Guy Fieri kitchen has been their appetizers and mains. Perfect companions for a movie. Click below to see the pictures in full screen size:
