Experience Drip Burgers and Join in Solidarity for Gaza at Etisalat Beach Canteen April 25 – May 12, 2024

  • 18-day beachside food festival pop-up with live food stations, entertainment and fun activities
  • Emiratis’ favourite burger brand drops burger masterclasses and Drip Baqala grocery store, donating a portion of proceeds to Red Crescent Gaza

Drip Burgers – the burger joint with a local spin that’s loved by Emiratis and ex-pats alike – is proud to announce its participation at the forthcoming Etisalat Beach Canteen, marking the launch of its new Drip Baqala concept and an array of exciting activities and workshops as it continues to take burger making to the next level.

Meet the Drip Burgers team at the region’s biggest food event’s theatre or at one of two kiosks (Drip Burgers and Drip Baqala), where you can experience some exciting new menu items created with the brand’s local flair amidst the vibrant seaside ambiance.

At the heart of the disruptive brand’s presence at Etisalat Beach Canteen lies the unveiling of a brand-new concept, Drip Baqala. This unique venture brings forth a fresh perspective on convenience and community, redefining the traditional baqala experience.  Baqala is an ancient Arabic term used for grocery stores which sold fruits, vegetables, and seeds – directly translating as “what comes from the ground.”

As an ode to Gaza and conscious choices, guests can expect an array of local, Palestinian and homegrown convenience products as well as fresh fruit juices and snack items. The concept focuses on bringing a community of homegrown brands together under one roof, offering customers a fun and exciting yet meaningful experience — while supporting both local brands and Gaza.

Drip Burgers also invites attendees to partake in one of its engaging workshops, where the art of burger making becomes a hands-on experience. This opportunity provides the chance to enhance customers’ culinary skills and learn how to create mouthwatering masterpieces firsthand.

Head to the NessNass (Jumeirah) Beach event on April 27, and you can enjoy a cooking demo, showcasing Drip Burgers’ award-winning burger, and sharing cooking tips and techniques with the audience.

On May 4, the team is hosting a Burger Making Workshop, sure to be a sell-out – offering a hands-on cooking class where participants can learn how to make gourmet burgers.

And on May 11, a fun Burger Eating Competition will witness participants race to see who can finish a giant burger the fastest.

Nadia Shah, Drip Burgers owner, says: “We are thrilled to be taking our award-winning super tasty burgers to the Etisalat Beach Canteen this year, and at a time when all our minds are occupied with the situation in Gaza, we wanted to ensure we helped do something towards alleviating the suffering, through our new Drip Baqala concept.

“We are introducing refreshing watermelon drinks and watermelon fruit trays, and more, crafted in solidarity with Gaza. Additionally, we’ve created customized t-shirts that we’ll wear throughout the festival to showcase our support. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Red Cresent Gaza, our chosen partner for all activities, fostering positive change while savouring the taste of compassion.”

Last year, the disruptive burger brand, which combines top quality meat with Khaleeji flair, celebrated winning Virgin Radio’s Best Burger in the UAE accolade after DJ and TV personality Kris Fade was wowed by its premium Wagyu burgers.

The community-driven brand, launched by entrepreneur and hotelier Nadia Shah and local basketball star Mohamed Abdullateef, known as Lateef, who are on a mission to provide great food, great vibes and banging flavours, serves up tasty burgers with a local twist.

From its outset, the brand has always had a strong commitment to sustainability through sourcing local ingredients and implementing eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce environmental footprint.

Drip Burgers leapt onto the Dubai burger scene in summer 2021. Starting out as a side project and cloud kitchen in Al Barsha South, the brand’s Emirati-inspired burger menu has quickly gained popularity and recognition as one of Dubai’s best burgers in a very crowded market.
