AED 10 Dishes DSS 2026: Where to Find Them
Where to find AED 10 dishes during DSS 2026 — the Dhs10 dishes offer dates, how it works, participating restaurants and how it differs from Summer Restaurant Week.
During Dubai Summer Surprises 2026, more than 170 restaurants and cafés each sell one signature dish for a flat AED 10. The deal runs from 3 to 30 August 2026. The confirmed 2026 list is now live — browse it in the District app or on mydss.ae, then walk in and ask for the AED 10 dish. No voucher needed.
Picture two chocolate-covered strawberries, a New York hot dog, or a Pret sandwich with a coffee — all for the price of a bottle of water. That is the promise of the AED 10 dishes at Dubai Summer Surprises, where real food lands at real bargains.
Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) is the city’s big summer festival of shopping, dining and family fun. It is run by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) — the government body behind Dubai’s events calendar.
This guide explains how the AED 10 dishes work, where diners found the best ones last year, and how to grab yours in 2026. We keep the confirmed 2026 facts and last year’s examples clearly apart.

AED 10 Dishes at DSS 2026
The AED 10 dishes promotion is officially called the 10 Dirham Dish, because the dirham is the UAE currency (its code is AED). It runs from 3 August to 30 August 2026 and sits inside DSS, which runs from 2 July to 30 August 2026.
What are the AED 10 dishes? They are a city-wide food deal run during DSS. Each participating restaurant nominates one of its signature dishes and sells it for a flat AED 10 for the whole promotion.
How do you get one? The rules are refreshingly simple, with no booking, no voucher and no app coupon to load.
- Walk in to a participating outlet during the promotion dates.
- Ask for the AED 10 dish — each venue nominates one.
- Dine in — the offer is for walk-in guests eating at the venue.
Where is the list? The confirmed 2026 list of outlets and dishes is now live on Visit Dubai’s 10 Dirham Dish page and mydss.ae. It runs on District by Zomato, the campaign’s official listing partner, so browse there and then walk in and ask.

Best AED 10 Dishes in Dubai Last Year
Here is the most extensive list of AED 10 dishes from last year — the venues and dishes that Dubai diners and food writers rated during the 2025 promotion. Treat it as last year's line-up and a strong guide to 2026, not a confirmed menu.
We have grouped the venues by area so you can spot the ones near you. Many of these kitchens return each summer, so pair this with the confirmed 2026 list above and on mydss.ae.
The Chokoberry deal was the standout of 2025. The strawberries normally sell for about AED 12 each, so two for AED 10 was a genuine bargain — around 500 sold a day with a ten-minute queue.
Pret A Manger offered a full sandwich and an Americano coffee for AED 10, which many diners rated the best value. Villa Beirut's shish tawouk sandwich also drew regular queues.
Best Areas to Hunt for AED 10 Dishes
Some neighbourhoods packed in far more AED 10 dishes than others in 2025. Focus your day around one of these clusters and you taste several without long drives.
- Karama — dense with casual, affordable kitchens like Bombay Street.
- Oud Metha — home to Golden Dragon and Moshi.
- International City — a wide spread of low-cost eateries.
- JBR / The Beach — beachfront spots such as Bla Bla Beach Café.
- Dubai Hills Mall — Revelry and other food-court favourites.
- Mirdif City Centre — family-friendly with many chains.
- The Market Island food hall — a food hall is one big indoor space where many small independent kitchens share the seating; Bo and Keytown sit under its roof.
Big chains join the fun too, which makes the AED 10 dishes easy to find near you. Look for these names on the mydss.ae list.
How the AED 10 Dishes Fit the DSS Dining Calendar
The AED 10 dishes are the grand finale of the DSS dining season. A promotion called Summer Restaurant Week comes first, then the AED 10 dishes take over in August.
What is Summer Restaurant Week? It is a separate DSS food promotion that runs from 13 July to 2 August 2026. Taking-part restaurants offer fixed set menus — a set list of dishes at one price — at AED 80 for a two-course lunch or AED 120 for a three-course dinner.
If you love a food deal, plan across both windows. Restaurant Week rewards a sit-down meal at smarter venues, while the AED 10 dishes reward quick, casual grazing.
For the wider festival, our main Dubai Summer Surprises 2026 guide covers everything. You can also check the DSS 2026 dates and the Restaurant Week venues.
For official festival updates, see the Visit Dubai DSS page. It links through to mydss.ae and the District app, where the live AED 10 dishes list sits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the AED 10 dishes at DSS 2026?
The AED 10 dishes are a city-wide food deal during Dubai Summer Surprises 2026. Each participating restaurant nominates one of its signature dishes and sells it for a flat AED 10. The promotion runs from 3 to 30 August 2026 across more than 170 restaurants and cafés. There is no booking and no voucher. You browse the confirmed list in the District app or on mydss.ae, then walk in and ask for the AED 10 dish.
When do the AED 10 dishes run at DSS 2026?
The AED 10 dishes promotion runs from 3 August to 30 August 2026. It sits inside Dubai Summer Surprises, the wider festival that runs from 2 July to 30 August 2026. The promotion is organised by Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, the government body behind the city's events. The 2026 dates are confirmed, so mark August in your calendar.
How do I get an AED 10 dish?
Walk into a participating outlet during the promotion and ask for the AED 10 dish. There is no booking, no voucher and no coupon code. Each venue nominates one signature dish at AED 10. The confirmed 2026 list of outlets and their dishes is live in the District app and on mydss.ae, the official DSS website, so check it before you head out. The deal is for dine-in guests.
How many restaurants offer AED 10 dishes?
More than 170 restaurants and cafés across Dubai join the promotion in 2026, spread over hundreds of outlets. They range from big chains such as Shake Shack and Dunkin' to independent kitchens in Karama and Oud Metha. Each outlet picks one dish to sell at AED 10. That scale means you find the offer close to wherever you are dining in the city.
What is mydss.ae?
mydss.ae is the official website for Dubai Summer Surprises. It publishes the live list of outlets and the exact dish each one sells for AED 10. The confirmed 2026 list is now live there and in the District app, which Visit Dubai links from its 10 Dirham Dish page. Check it on the day you go, since venues can change through the month.
What were the best AED 10 dishes last year?
In 2025, diners loved Chokoberry's two chocolate-covered strawberries, Pret's sandwich-plus-coffee deal and Shake Shack's New York hot dog. Golden Dragon's chicken dumplings and Villa Beirut's shish tawouk sandwich also stood out. Treat these as last year's line-up rather than a confirmed 2026 menu, since venues change from summer to summer. The official 2026 list appears on mydss.ae.
How is Restaurant Week different from the AED 10 dishes?
Summer Restaurant Week is a separate DSS promotion that runs from 13 July to 2 August 2026. It offers fixed set menus at AED 80 for a two-course lunch or AED 120 for a three-course dinner, usually at smarter venues. The AED 10 dishes come later, from 3 to 30 August, and reward quick, casual grazing at ten dirhams per dish. Plan across both windows for the best value.
Which areas have the most AED 10 dishes?
In 2025 the densest clusters were Karama, Oud Metha, International City, JBR and The Beach, Dubai Hills Mall, Mirdif City Centre and The Market Island food hall. Picking one area lets you taste several dishes without long drives. The 2026 spread should look similar, but confirm venues on mydss.ae before you go.
