London’s Original Smash Burger Brand ‘Manna’ Expands to Dubai

October 31, 2025

Manna, the smash burger kitchen brand for its roots in classic American diner culture, is set to launch its first international location in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai, this November 2025.

Serving its iconic smash burgers, indulgent sides and shakes. Manna has been hailed by The Times as “Britain’s Best Burgers”, and is celebrated as London’s original smash burger brand.

Manna is more than just a burger it’s a tribute to the timeless flavours of America’s regional fast-food joints. Every aspect of its menu is built on simplicity executed with precision, from the perfect smokiness of a seared patty to the satisfying crunch of thick-cut pickles. It’s a balance of comforting nostalgia and contemporary finesse that has quickly made Manna a name for burger lovers.

Since its debut at Arcade in 2022, Manna has solidified its reputation as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts, creating a loyal following across London.

The brand now takes its next step with the launch of its first Middle Eastern location in Dubai, a city known for its appreciation of bold flavours

Manna was developed in collaboration with Feroz Gajia, from East London’s renowned Bake Street, and launched through the Arcade Create platform. This expansion to Dubai marks a significant milestone as Arcade’s first international venture.

Feroz Gajia, Co-Founder of Manna, shares his excitement: “The launch of Manna in Dubai is a moment of pride for us. The warmth and enthusiasm we’ve received from our London guests have been humbling, and bringing Manna to Alserkal Avenue feels like an organic extension of our journey. Alserkal Avenue is the perfect location for Manna’s first international expansion, with its vibrant mix of arts, culture, and design. It’s a space that aligns seamlessly with our vision, bringing together creativity and community—values that are at the heart of what we do.”

Guests in London can continue to enjoy Manna at Arcade Tottenham Court Road and Arcade Battersea Power Station, but for Dubai, this is just the beginning.
