5 Best Sandwich Shops in Dubai (2026)

Jones the Grocer sits inside the Dusit Thani Hotel and runs as a gourmet grocery and cafe hybrid, serving breakfast plates, roasts, and coffee alongside grab-and-go sandwiches and pastries. It is part of an international cafe group known for combining a deli counter with sit-down dining. Reviewers describe repeat visits during hotel stays, coming back daily for specific dishes like the Crispy Mozzarella or Avo Toast.

Chef Eyad is a restaurant on Sheikh Zayed Road known for wood-fired steaks and grilled meats, with a shisha area attached. It runs more as a full-service Middle Eastern grill than a sandwich shop, though its menu covers lighter lunch options too. Reviewers frequently mention ordering through delivery apps like Talabat before visiting in person.

Flaky Pastry Croissant Co. at City Walk bakes its pastries on site and builds its menu around croissants, both sweet and savory, alongside coffee and cold drinks. It is a counter-service bakery rather than a sit-down restaurant, though outdoor seating is available. Its own reviewers highlight the layered, buttery texture as the signature draw.

Texas Chicken on Sheikh Zayed Road is a fried chicken chain location serving sandwiches, tenders, and combo meals in a simple, functional setup built for speed. It runs late into the early morning hours, making it a common stop for quick meals outside normal dining times. Reviews are split sharply between very positive service experiences and complaints about food freshness on off days.

Bonbird Chicken Shop at City Walk specialises in fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, and wraps, built around a rotating list of flavour options from mild to extra hot. Its own site describes a brined, hand-breaded process cooked to order rather than held under a heat lamp. It also operates locations in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
