The event was Time Out's first-ever awards that were voted for entirely by the public to celebrate the best places to grab a mid-spree bite or to enjoy a post-retail therapy feast at the world's busiest mall.

Coffee lovers voted Starbucks as the best place to grab a coffee, besides breakfast, salads, sandwiches and much more. Diners loved The Cheesecake Factory for their extensive menu of over 30 signature cheesecakes and desserts, while P.F. Chang's, known for their world-famous 'Dynamite Shrimps', won favour for expressing a perfect balance between Asian tradition and modern American style in their cuisine.

"Amazing locations, lively ambience, warm hospitality, and providing truly memorable experiences to our guests are synonymous with our food brands, wherever we operate," said Mathew Holgate, President of Alshaya's Food Division. "Winning the Time Out Dubai Mall Food Awards is a testament to the passion and dedication of our great teams."
