The UAE's fast food market is shaped by its extraordinary demographic diversity — a population that is over 80% expatriate, drawn from South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Arab world, and the West. This creates demand for an unusually wide range of international chains, all serving fully halal menus. Dubai in particular has become a launching pad for international fast food brands entering the Middle East.
The main delivery platforms are Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Talabat. Expect 10-25% markup on menu prices plus service and delivery fees.
Tipping is optional 10%. You won't be expected to tip at fast food counters. Prices are in AED (د.إ).
