Soul food on a budget 💯
If you’re someone like me to whom quality matters more than the quantity with the advantage on the pricing than this place is your go to place.
1.) The all American cheese burger slider is perfectly cooked.
2.) The dynamite shrimps are just as soulful as it sounds.
3.) And the passion fruit mojito is the ideal drink.
Wish this order combo was named after me lol.
Secrets service was always the best: Marie on the phone was very considerate and attentive to what exactly I wanted, giving me a happy meal at home.
This restaurant was indeed a secret for a long time. Amazing food for less price. Dynamite chicken and mojito was the best. Amazing indoors. Totally recommended. Would love to come back.
Zomato Gold failed to mention that the buy 1 get 1 offer is not valid on burgers. Found out at the time of payment. Disappointing service by zomato.
A small place easy to miss but you shouldn’t miss it! They have some authentic American grub - variety of fries, burger sliders and some cool drinks!
What we tried :
Loaded fries - Yummy! Wish they added more jalepenos though ;)
Dynamite Chicken pops - It’s quite different. Heads up Don’t go expecting spicy chicken.
Buffalo Chicken Wings - Right on the taste & flavor
Buffalo & Classic Chicken Sliders - Preferred the Classic more. Plenty of other Chicken & Beef options as well were there. They allow you to choose different sliders variants which is great.
Secret Cold Coffee
Lemon Mint Mojito
Staff is courteous and prompt, place is peaceful for a quiet dinner. Not a huge menu, but Overall experience was good.
Definitely going back to try their coffees with some art/writing on it as I saw on their Instagram page later :)
Was craving for some pancakes, and came across this place. The pancakes were very soft, fluffy and thick. Extremely good value for money along with toppings, compared to other places that ive tried, where the pancakes are more dry, thin, and expensive for comparatively a lot lesser quantity. Would definitely recommend to others.
Swung by Secrets for dinner.
TBH, th experience did not start off well. There were only two other customers in the restaurant and service was abysmally slow. Strike one.
On perusing their menu, we ordered the dynamite shrimp only to be told that they were out of shrimp. Strike two.
We ordered the following -
- Classic All American Cheese Burger - The burger itself was nothing exceptional, but it was cooked well and was tasty without being memorable. 4/5
- The Cheesy Steak Burger - Generous amounts of Cheese and Steak - 5/5
- The Buffalo Chicken Burger - A superb burger with generous amounts of well marinated chicken breast and ranch sauce - 5/5
- The Loaded Curly Fries - The fries came absolutely drenched in cheddar sauce. Very tasty and great value for money- 5/5
The food arrived fast enough and service improved dramatically with the arrival of MC (Mary Chris), who was pleasant and cheerful and looked after us.
For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Lava cake and it was decadent and heavenly. 5/5
Their menu is quite varied, and they serve breakfast and a whole selection of Pasta dishes as well.
As far as ambiance goes, the restaurant has none. We sat through our meal with a movie droning on in the background. Perhaps some music would have been more appropriate.
This little bistro as great potential, and I hope that they do iron out the kinks.
Worth many repeat visits.
Update 23/12/2019: Went to secrets for a repeat visit with Zomato Gold only to be told it is not applicable on Burgers and drinks!!
Food and service was good.
I tried the dynamite shrimps, chicken alfredo pasta, chicken burgers. All of which were too yummy. This one is a place that is not really explored by many but do go visit it if you want to have yummy food that is not too heavy on your pockets as well! Do give this one a try soon!
This SECRET bistro should definitely be told....
We ordered 2 sliders - buffalo Chicken and American cheese slider. Both were amazing and highly recommend their sliders. The Patty's were perfect, the pickles and sauces were perfect. Next time I will order their wraps. This is truly a secret hidden gem for light eats , brunch and breakfast. Secret, you got a loyal customer and we are going to be regulars.
Update - recently ordered their wraps, it was bit of a let down. I am reducing one star for putting room for improvement on their wrap. The wrap bread is not my favorite, it is a bit chewy, they could improve on the wrap bread.
This American bistro has vibrant atmosphere and diverse menu including appetizers, fresh salads, all day breakfast, pastas, wraps, sliders, desserts, juices and milkshake and speciality coffee.
We ordered their Sliders as we found them most attractive in the menu and they didn't disappoint. We had "Classic all american cheese burger" 💸 AED28 and "Buffalo Chicken Burger" 💸 AED28. Hands down to these yummy Sliders! The slider size was handful and were not less than a complete burger. Apart of the freshness of the ingredients and juiciness of patties, there was a unique flavor in their secret sauce which kept us wanting more.
Besides the food, their staff is attentive and courteous.
We wanted to avail zomatogold but unfortunately only Sliders are not included. Staff told us that we can use zomatogold on any dish except Sliders which was disappointing. However, staff offered us a complimentary dessert to make our experience worthwhile.
In dessert, we were served "Saffron Milkcake" which was good. It was light and fluffy. Fully soaked in saffron flavored milk and topped with cream.
We really enjoyed their sliders but since they are not included in zomatogold so we will prefer to have a complete meal in the same price for two.
