15 Essential Things to Know Before Visiting Dubai

"A vibrant beach area with a 4.3-mile track for walking, running, and cycling, popular for its lively atmosphere."

Salt Leicester Square Review - Leicester Square - London - The Infatuation

"Salt, a burger spot bang in the middle of Leicester Square, has got a fun beachy aesthetic from the outside, and a sprawling, polished dining room. The menu focuses on sliders, but the quality is pretty average. The patties are nice and crispy-edged, but the burger buns are basic, the lack of sauce makes it dry, and the fact you only get one round pickle slice per burger feels like a crime. It feels a bit like an unfinished job. Inside, small groups are dotted around the seat-yourself space, while one nominee stands around waiting for their order number to be called. And if you’re thinking of coming because you’ve tried the original Dubai food truck, you should know that this is actually a Qatari copy-cat burger chain. You’re better off heading to one of these spots." - Rianne Shlebak

On the Grid : Salt

"Located on Kite Beach, Salt is one of the city’s most sought-after food trucks turned permanent burger joint, serving irresistible sliders and shakes. Just look out for the queues and resort-like vibe, and once you’re there, you’re made to feel at home right away. Order everything on the menu – there are only 3 burger options – wagyu beef, spicy wagyu, and a chicken burger filled with cheetos. Yes, cheetos. There’s no point in trying to hold back. Then finish up with the lotus ice cream, you won’t regret it." - Samia Kallidis

"Join the locals at Kite Beach in the queue for Salt, one of Dubai's oldest and most popular burger chains. The Wagyu beef sliders with jalapeño and the fried-chicken sliders with Cheetos are intensely satisfying. The popular lotus-flavored shake or softy is also a must-try."
