We compared 17 food trucks in Dubai on Google Maps · 3 listed · How we rank

Dubai doesn't do food trucks quietly. The names on this page have logged more than 15,900 Google reviews combined, and one destination alone accounts for nearly all of it: 15,704 reviews at 4.4 stars. That kind of gap changes what you're actually choosing between: a place to eat, or a truck to hire for your own event.

Short answer: Last Exit DXB Bound by Dubai Retail dominates food trucks in Dubai with 15,704 reviews at 4.4 stars, a highway-stop food court built around Americana-themed trucks. For a sit-down Algerian street food experience, Bab Eloued rates 3.9 across 197 reviews. If you need a truck for your own event rather than a place to eat, The Foodies DXB rents them out, rated a perfect 5.0 across 24 reviews.

Our take: At 3.9 stars across 197 reviews, it has the smallest track record of the businesses with a real storefront presence here. Worth trying for the specific cuisine, but read the most recent reviews before ordering a large group order.

Our take: It carries a perfect 5.0 rating, but across only 24 reviews, giving it the lowest confidence score on the page. If you need to hire a truck rather than visit one, it's the only dedicated rental business here.

How we score these

Rating is each business’s live Google average, and review volume shows how many customers have actually left a rating, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, so a perfect score built on 24 reviews carries less weight than a 4.4 built on 15,000. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a food truck meal or rental cost in Dubai? (2026)

Review highlights on Last Exit mention per-person spending anywhere from under AED 50 to over AED 150 depending on which stall you order from and whether it’s a quick bite or a full sit-down meal. Rental pricing for a private event varies by truck type and event length, so get a direct quote before booking.

Serving all of Dubai

These spots span Sheikh Zayed Road, Zaa’beel, and event bookings that travel across the wider Emirates. If you’re searching for food trucks near me in Dubai, Last Exit sits right on the highway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, making it a natural stop on a longer drive as well as a standalone destination.

What to ask before you go or book

  • Which trucks or stalls are open today, since lineups can rotate?
  • What’s the average price per person at the stall you want?
  • For a rental, what’s included: drop-off, pickup, staffing, equipment?
  • How far in advance do you need to book for a private event?
  • Is there parking on site, and is it free?

Frequently asked questions

Is Last Exit just one food truck?

No. It’s a destination housing multiple food trucks and stalls under one roof, which is why its review count is so much higher than a single independent truck.

Can I rent a food truck for my own event in Dubai?

The Foodies DXB - The Foodies Urban Cafe LLC is listed on Google as a truck rental agency. One reviewer rented a truck for Quoz Arts Fest 2026, with drop-off, pick-up, a freezer and chillers included. Another got two food trucks and a coffee cart, and reviewers praise a staff member named Tarek.

Which of these Dubai food spots are open late at night?

Per listed hours, Last Exit DXB Bound by Dubai Retail is open from 6:00 AM to 3:00 AM daily, and one reviewer calls it a great stop during night drives. Bab Eloued Street Food Restaurant lists 12:00 PM to 3:00 AM every day.

The bottom line

For a meal, Last Exit is the safe default, its scale and review count dwarf everything else on this page. If you’re planning an event and need to hire a truck rather than visit one, go to The Foodies DXB and get a quote early, since good trucks book out.
