Manna Soon To Unveil First International Smash-Burger Place In Dubai

Manna, a well-known smash-burger brand from London, is preparing to open its doors at Alserkal Avenue on 6 November. This marks the brand's first international venture, expanding beyond its UK origins. Manna is celebrated for its nostalgic flavours and unique style, and the Dubai launch signifies the start of its global journey.

Initially launched at Arcade in London, Manna quickly became a popular attraction. It now boasts locations at Tottenham Court Road and Battersea Power Station. The brand has garnered a loyal customer base and critical praise. The Alserkal opening represents Arcade's first international expansion, bringing Manna's blend of food, culture, and creativity to one of Dubai's most vibrant areas.

Alserkal Avenue is home to over 70 creative organisations, including galleries, design studios, and performance spaces. It serves as the centre of Dubai's contemporary culture. Known for fostering experimentation and collaboration, Alserkal provides an ideal platform for Manna's international debut. The venue aligns with Manna's energy and mission to nurture creativity and community.

Manna Dubai will feature a specially curated menu that includes London favourites alongside a unique offering exclusive to Dubai:

- Wagyu Kimchi Smash: Ssamjang mayo, kimchi, seaweed, slice of cheese

- Classic Smash: Smashed patty, American cheese, mustard, ketchup, mayo, pickles, onions

Feroz Gajia, co-founder of Manna stated: "We're incredibly excited to see Manna launch its first MENA location in the UAE, a place whose locals have shown us such warmth and support at our London locations. Expanding into the vibrant Alserkal Avenue feels like a natural extension of my East London home and truly feels like the perfect fit for Manna."
