If you’re heading to Mall of the Emirates soon, you might want to skip your usual snack stop—because VOX Cinemas has taken its dining game to prehistoric heights. To celebrate Jurassic World Rebirth, the Theatre Café inside the cinema has transformed into Jurassic Café Dubai, a roaring themed experience attracting both film fans and food lovers.
Running for a limited time, this immersive pop-up lets guests enjoy more than just a blockbuster movie. Expect an indoor jungle escape with dino tracks at your feet, dramatic ambient music, photo zones, and an exclusive themed menu that delivers on both concept and flavour.
T-Rex Burgers, Raptor Bites, and Prehistoric Hot Dogs
The curated menu at Jurassic Café doesn’t hold back. Crafted to look and taste like something straight out of a cinematic jungle expedition, the dishes are imaginative and bold—without feeling gimmicky.
The T-Rex Burger leads the pack. Stacked with double Cajun-spiced beef patties, molten cheese, house-made pickles, and a smoky meteor sauce, this towering bite comes served in a charcoal-black bun that’s hard to miss.
Not in the mood for beef? The Raptor Bite Burger swaps meat for crispy spiced chicken, layered with lava mayo, cheese shards, and leafy greens—all packed into the same moody charcoal bun for visual punch.
For those after something handheld but hearty, the Queltz Dog offers a choice of turkey, beef, or vegan sausage, paired with relic relish, mustard mayo, and a crisp finish from golden onions inside an ancient grain roll. Even vegetarians are in for a treat thanks to the Herbivore Stack, a meat-free option filled with fried portobello mushrooms, truffle-garlic aioli, and wild rocket.
These aren’t your standard mall food court picks—they’ve been designed to add a layer of theatre to your meal.
Crack Into A Dino Egg or Sip On Ancient Elixirs
Beyond burgers and hot dogs, Jurassic Café Dubai serves up creative desserts and drinks that double as conversation starters.
The standout on the sweets menu is the Dino Egg Smash. It’s more than just a dessert—it’s a hands-on moment. Guests are invited to crack open a smooth chocolate shell, revealing a surprise inside that looks like it’s been hidden for millennia.
On the drinks side, the Amber DNA Elixir is a citrusy passionfruit mojito fizz with popping boba that adds an extra layer of texture and fun. Meanwhile, the T-Rex Blood is a bold mix of dragon fruit and hibiscus, presented with edible claw-shaped garnishes that bring the drink’s theme full circle.
Each menu item is plated and presented in a way that feels imaginative but never overdone—perfect for those who love a little theatre with their food.
It’s A Dino Adventure
Jurassic Café Dubai offers more than a dining experience; it’s a fully themed activation that draws you into a world of fantasy and film. Step inside and immerse yourself in a jungle-themed setup—lush backdrops, dino footprints, and ambient Jurassic soundtracks create the ultimate prehistoric vibe.
Interactive zones add to the energy of the space:
- Roar-o-Metre: Challenge your friends to see who has the fiercest dino roar and earn some serious bragging rights.
- DNA Station: Kids and adults alike can experiment with mixing dino DNA to create their own prehistoric species—adding a bit of science fun to the experience.
And for fans of the franchise, VOX Cinemas has introduced a special treat. On premiere night and opening weekend, live musicians will perform the iconic Jurassic Park score, creating a powerful moment just before the screening begins.
No reservations are required, and the café is open daily from 9 AM to 12 AM. Dubai’s limited-time concept serves up entertainment with every bite—perfect whether you’re watching the movie or just seeking something new.
A Fresh Way to Experience Film Culture in Dubai
Dubai has no shortage of themed restaurants or cinematic experiences—but this one stands out for blending the two so seamlessly. Jurassic Café Dubai taps into nostalgia, film fandom, and food creativity to offer something that feels genuinely new and exciting.
As summer heats up, indoor attractions like this become all the more valuable, especially for families and groups looking for an activity that’s interactive, photo-friendly, and refreshingly original.
VOX Cinemas continues to innovate in the cinema space, and with Jurassic World Rebirth generating buzz globally, this café acts as the perfect companion experience for anyone wanting more than just a seat in the theatre.
But as with all pop-ups, it won’t be around forever. So if you’re keen to dine in a dino-themed jungle and snap a few wild photos along the way, best head down to Mall of the Emirates before the last roar fades.
