Steak under 100 AED in Dubai is no longer the exception. While the city is best known for its high-end dining rooms and Wagyu tasting menus, a growing number of spots are quietly serving serious cuts at prices that stay at or below AED 100. From casual food trucks to proper sit-down restaurants, these five places prove that a great steak in Dubai does not have to wreck your budget.

Smokd Eatery — From AED 56
Smokd Eatery at Boxpark is a meat lover's spot where quality comes first and the beef is outstanding. The steak deal starts from AED 56 — a 220g ribeye served with golden fries and a choice of sauces. The kitchen has a clear American BBQ influence with an Asian twist, and the smoked meats are what guests keep coming back for.
Open Sunday to Thursday noon to 11:30 PM, Friday to Saturday noon to 1:30 AM.
Location: Box Park, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah Contact: 04 529 7842

Steak On Me — AED 95
Steak On Me started as a pop-up in 2022 and is the creation of Emirati restaurateur and Chef Sultan Kayed. It now has a permanent home at Wasl 51 in Jumeirah, and the concept is exactly what it sounds like: well-cooked steaks in a laid-back, upbeat setting. The house steak is AED 95 and comes with a free soft serve at the end. The menu also includes a juicy sirloin at AED 120, beef tartare, truffle mac and cheese, and chicken schnitzel tenders.

La Baguette de L'Entrecôte — From AED 60
This food truck operates in Al Barsha and keeps the menu tight. The concept revolves around authentic Entrecôte sauce in two formats: a steak baguette and a shaker. The Shaker packs tenderloin beef, fries, and sauce into a single cup for AED 60. Give it a proper shake before eating and you get a satisfying mix of steak, crispy fries, and creamy sauce in every bite. It is the most casual option on this list and one of the most fun.
Location: Al Barsha, Dubai Available on Deliveroo and Zomato.

Swiss Butter — From AED 87
Swiss Butter serves a 400g steak with a salad, freshly baked baguette, and a choice of fries or sweet potatoes, starting from AED 87. The menu focuses on just three mains — beef fillet, chicken breast, or salmon — all finished in the restaurant's signature buttery, garlicky sauce. It is a full meal that covers everything without the need to order extras.
Open Monday to Sunday noon to midnight, with two Dubai locations: Sofitel Downtown and Novotel Hotel Al Barsha.
Locations and Contact: Sofitel Downtown (04 358 1213) and Novotel Hotel, Al Barsha (04 370 6314)

Rowley's — From AED 138 (AED 69 After Midnight)
Full transparency is needed on pricing here. The classic steak at Rowley's starts at AED 138, with the signature Australian ribeye at AED 168. Standard pricing puts it above AED 100. However, Rowley's runs an after-midnight deal with 50% off selected steaks, which brings the classic cut down to AED 69.
Even at full price, the value case is strong. The menu has only four items: steak, unlimited frites, salad, and cake — with the frites on constant refill. The restaurant has a 50-year history originating on London's Jermyn Street, and the Dubai branch in DIFC's Central Park Towers comes with terrace views of the Burj Khalifa. Rowley's was also shortlisted for Best Steakhouse at the Time Out Dubai Restaurant Awards 2026.
Location: Level P3, Central Park Towers, DIFC, Dubai
