Dubai just gave us a reason to eat out every day this August — without torching our wallets. The Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) 2025 is launching its first-ever summer edition of the “10 Dirham Dish” campaign. From 1 to 31 August, you can tuck into a variety of curated AED 10 dishes across more than 700 outlets in 190+ restaurants dotted around malls and foodie hotspots. No booking, no vouchers, just rock up and ask for the AED 10 dish.
10 Dirhams Gets You More Than Just Shawarma
