Some places
feed people.

Some places become
part of the city.

Welcome to Al Ijaza · Since 1990

Al Ijaza is
one of those places.

— On Jumeirah Beach Road

A humble roadside cafeteria
that became a Dubai landmark.

A place people return to, again and again — since 1990.

Al Ijaza on Jumeirah Beach Road

— Jumeirah Beach Road

Thirty years on the
same beach road.

A quick sandwich
after a beach drive.

A fresh juice on a
warm Dubai evening.

A midnight stop when
the city won't sleep.

For many, a visit to Dubai feels incomplete without stopping at Al Ijaza.

Today Al Ijaza is not just a cafeteria.
It is part of the rhythm of the city.

And the story continues, one sandwich at a time.

1990— Our Story

1990 · It started with a dream

Dubai is a city of big dreams. Al Ijaza began with a very simple one.

A small cafeteria on Jumeirah Beach Road — serve good food, serve it fast, and treat every customer with respect.

The early days

People kept coming back.

Students after school Families after evening drives Workers on long shifts Visitors from across the world

Word spread

From locals to tourists. From social media to the whole world.

2019

A second home, by Kite Beach.

Same recipes, same welcome — now just steps from the sand.

2024

A third Al Ijaza opens in Al Mizhar.

Growing with the city that grew up around us.

Present day

Al Ijaza became a Dubai tradition.

Three addresses across Dubai — and still the same beach-road soul.

— Collabs / Events

When culture meets
the cafeteria.

A meeting point where people, ideas and cultures come together. Watch collaborations with Nissan, Land Cruiser, Michelin, Sephora and more.

— Media Centre

Al Ijaza in the spotlight.

Travellers film it, journalists write about it, and Dubai keeps coming back — three decades on the beach road, still making headlines.
