Pickl

Pickl is widely regarded as one of the UAE’s most successful homegrown fast food concepts, founded in Dubai in 2019 and rapidly expanding to become a household name across the Emirates and beyond. The brand was born with a clear and uncompromising philosophy: to serve the freshest possible burgers using only premium ingredients that are entirely free from hormones, preservatives, and antibiotics. That commitment to clean, real food has earned Pickl an almost cult-like following among Dubai’s food-obsessed community, winning multiple awards and earning a permanent spot in Time Out Market Dubai. The menu is deliberately concise and confident — cheeseburgers, chicken sandos, plant-based options, and signature loaded fries — each executed with a precision that belies the fast food format. Every patty is made fresh, every bun is baked to order, and even the pickles are made in-house. The interiors are energetic, pop-culture inspired, and regularly refreshed with seasonal menu drops that keep the experience feeling alive and relevant. Starting from its original JLT location, Pickl now operates across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Ain, Bahrain, Qatar, and Egypt — a remarkable trajectory for a brand that only opened its doors in 2019. For anyone seeking the definitive Dubai burger experience from a brand that grew here, Pickl is the essential starting point.
