Al Baik in Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah — Full Location Guide

The UAE’s east coast and northern tip don’t get nearly as much Al Baik coverage as Dubai, Sharjah, or Abu Dhabi — but there’s a real, confirmed branch in Ras Al Khaimah, and a more uncertain situation in Fujairah that’s worth understanding before you make a special trip. This guide covers both honestly, including a name mix-up in Fujairah that could send you to the wrong restaurant entirely.

Quick Facts: Al Baik in Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah: A Confirmed, Well-Documented Branch

Al Baik’s Ras Al Khaimah branch opened inside Manar Mall, located at 500 Al Muntasir Street in the Dafan Al Nakheel area — a genuinely well-documented opening, covered by local RAK community sites and confirmed on independent business directories. It’s positioned on the ground floor near the main food court, and opens daily from around 10:00 AM.

Before this branch opened, RAK-based Al Baik fans faced a real trip — driving into Sharjah or Dubai just for a meal. Local coverage of the opening specifically noted this, describing it as finally bringing the brand “closer to home” for residents, students, and workers across the emirate who no longer need to cross into neighbouring emirates for it.

A note on “first” claims: some local coverage describes this as Al Baik’s “first UAE outlet” — that’s not accurate; Dubai Mall was the brand’s first UAE branch back in June 2021. What’s more likely true is that Manar Mall was the first Al Baik location specifically in Ras Al Khaimah, which is still a meaningful milestone for the emirate even if it wasn’t first nationally.

Al Baik Ras Al Khaimah Menu

The RAK branch runs the same core UAE-wide menu found at every other Al Baik location:

Chicken Meals

• Chicken Meal (Regular or Spicy) — broasted pieces with fries, bun, and dipping sauces
• Chicken Fillet Nugget Meal
• Family Meal — built for group sharing

Sandwiches & Burgers

• Big Baik Sandwich (Regular or Spicy) — the brand’s flagship item
• Chicken Fillet Burger
• Baikeez Snack — chicken strips, cheese, and nugget sauce

Seafood

• Fish Fillet Sandwich (Small/Large, Regular/Spicy)
• Value Shrimp and Shrimp Combo
• Shrimp Sandwich

Sides & Extras

• French Fries, Coleslaw Salad, Hommos, Fries with Garlic Sauce
• Falafel and Falafel Sandwich — the vegetarian option
• Extra garlic sauce — the most requested add-on across every UAE branch

Breakfast Menu (limited hours)

• Egg Sandwich, Egg Sandwich with Cheese, Grilled Chicken and Cheese Sandwich

Desserts & Drinks

• Ice cream with chocolate or strawberry sauce, soft drinks, smoothies, bottled water

On price: individual meals typically stay under AED 30, with a meal for two averaging around AED 30–40 based on the branch’s listed average bill — broadly in line with every other UAE Al Baik location. As always, the counter board or the Al Baik app at checkout will be more current than any published figure here.

Fujairah: What We Actually Know (and Don’t)

This is where honesty matters more than a confident-sounding guide. A handful of low-authority listing sites reference an “Al Baik Fujairah City Centre” branch, positioned on the ground floor near the parking area — similar in format to other UAE mall branches. However, this claim doesn’t have the same level of independent confirmation that the Ras Al Khaimah and other UAE branches have: no major food or lifestyle publication coverage, no strong social media opening announcement, and no consistent detail across multiple reliable sources. Take it as plausible but unconfirmed rather than a verified fact — if you’re planning a special trip to Fujairah City Centre specifically for Al Baik, it’s worth calling ahead or checking the mall’s own store directory first.

Important: “Al Bake” in Fujairah Is a Different Restaurant

Here’s the detail that actually matters most for anyone searching this topic: there’s a separately branded restaurant in Fujairah called “Al Bake” (note the different spelling — no “i”) operating at least two locations, in the Al Uwaid and Al Sodah areas. Based on its published menu — which includes Indian dishes, biryani, and soup alongside fried chicken — this is clearly not the same Saudi-founded Al Baik chain known for broasted chicken and garlic sauce. It appears to be an unrelated, independently branded eatery that happens to use a very similar name.

This kind of naming overlap isn’t unusual in the region — smaller local restaurants sometimes adopt names close to well-known brands, whether intentionally or coincidentally. If you’re specifically looking for the genuine Al Baik experience (the 18-spice broasted chicken and garlic sauce the brand is known for across Saudi Arabia and the wider UAE), “Al Bake” in Al Uwaid or Al Sodah is not that restaurant, regardless of how similar the name looks in a search result.

How to Order: Dine-In, Takeaway & Delivery

• Ras Al Khaimah (Manar Mall): Standard counter service with seating; check Talabat and Noon Food for delivery availability in your area, or use the Al Baik app directly.
• Fujairah: Given the uncertainty noted above, confirming with the mall directory or calling ahead before a dedicated trip is the safer approach, rather than relying solely on third-party listing sites.

Contact Number

Every confirmed UAE Al Baik branch, including Ras Al Khaimah, uses the same toll-free customer service line: 800 244 2245. There’s no separate number specific to RAK or Fujairah.

Why the Chicken Tastes Different: Broasting Explained

For anyone new to Al Baik, the texture is the first thing that stands out compared to typical fast-food fried chicken. Al Baik uses broasting — a technique that pressure-cooks and deep-fries the chicken simultaneously inside a sealed fryer, rather than standard open-fat deep frying. The sealed pressure locks moisture into the meat while the surrounding hot oil crisps the coating, which is why the texture holds up even after a drive home from Manar Mall. Layered on top of the broasting method is the brand’s confidential 18-spice marinade — unchanged for decades — and the equally famous garlic sauce most regulars order extra of every time. This is also the easiest practical way to tell the genuine article apart from a look-alike restaurant: an authentic Al Baik menu centers entirely around broasted chicken, seafood, and the garlic sauce — not biryani, curries, or a broader multi-cuisine spread.

What Customers Say About the RAK Branch

Early coverage of the Manar Mall opening described a strong initial response from RAK residents, consistent with how nearly every new Al Baik branch has been received across the UAE — from the original Dubai Mall queues in 2021 through to more recent openings in Ajman, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi. The appeal cited most often is the same one that built the brand’s reputation in Saudi Arabia decades ago: consistent, affordable, crispy-but-juicy chicken without the wait or price tag of a full-service restaurant.

Al Baik’s Broader Northern Emirates Expansion

RAK’s Manar Mall branch fits a clear pattern in Al Baik’s UAE growth: after establishing itself in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, and Abu Dhabi, the brand has steadily filled in coverage across the country’s smaller, less-covered cities — Al Ain Mall being another recent example. With roughly 35 branches now operating across the UAE, reaching into Ras Al Khaimah was a natural next step for a brand whose growth has consistently followed demonstrated cross-emirate demand rather than guesswork.

Tips for Visiting

1. Confirm before a special trip to Fujairah — call the mall or check its official directory rather than relying only on aggregator sites.
2. Double-check the name if searching in Fujairah — “Al Bake” (different spelling) is not the same restaurant as “Al Baik.”
3. Order extra garlic sauce at the RAK branch — the most repeated tip from regulars across every UAE Al Baik location.
4. Check the Al Baik app for offers before ordering, since deals often appear there before showing up in-store.
5. Go outside peak lunch and dinner hours to avoid queues, based on the pattern seen at every other UAE branch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a confirmed Al Baik branch in Ras Al Khaimah? Yes — Manar Mall in Dafan Al Nakheel, on the ground floor near the food court.

Is Al Baik in Fujairah confirmed? Not with the same certainty as Ras Al Khaimah. Some listings reference a Fujairah City Centre branch, but independent confirmation is limited — worth checking directly before a dedicated visit.

Is “Al Bake” in Fujairah the same as Al Baik? No. “Al Bake” (different spelling) appears to be a separate, unrelated restaurant with a menu that includes Indian dishes and biryani, unlike the genuine Al Baik chain.

What’s the Al Baik contact number for Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah? The same UAE-wide toll-free number applies: 800 244 2245.

Is Al Baik Ras Al Khaimah halal? Yes, consistent with every other Al Baik branch across the UAE.

Can I order Al Baik Ras Al Khaimah for delivery? Yes, through Talabat and Noon Food, subject to your address being within the branch’s delivery coverage, or via the Al Baik app.

Why does one source call Manar Mall Al Baik’s “first UAE outlet”? That claim appears to be an error or a simplification — Dubai Mall was Al Baik’s actual first UAE branch, opening in June 2021. Manar Mall is more accurately described as the first Al Baik location within Ras Al Khaimah specifically.

Should I trust every website claiming an Al Baik branch exists in my city? Not automatically. As this guide shows with Fujairah, some listings are unconfirmed, outdated, or mixed up with unrelated restaurants using similar names. Cross-checking with the mall’s own directory or calling ahead is worth the extra minute before a dedicated visit.
