Branches and counting
Al Baik built its name in Saudi Arabia over five decades before crossing into the UAE, and demand followed it here long queues and all. Below is a branch-by-branch breakdown by emirate. Malls do occasionally rotate tenants and adjust hours, so treat timings as a strong starting point and confirm locally before a special trip.
Which UAE Branch Should You Visit?
If you’re short on time, here’s the quick version: heading to the mall anyway? The Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates branches are the easiest, no detour required. Driving and don’t want to park? Al Rashidiya is the only true drive-through in the UAE right now. Staying up late in Dubai? Al Diyafa Street and Al Nahda run into the early hours, later than most mall food courts. Based in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain? Al Wahda Mall gets consistently faster service than Dalma Mall during peak evening hours, according to visitor reports.

Can You Order Al Baik for Delivery in the UAE?
Most UAE branches are listed on the major delivery apps Talabat, Deliveroo, and Careem NOW — though availability varies by branch and delivery zone. Mall-based locations (Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Al Wahda Mall) tend to have the most consistent delivery coverage, while standalone branches like Al Rashidiya are better suited for drive-through or pickup. Always check current delivery-app availability for your specific area, since coverage zones shift.
