A Middle Eastern millionaire says he couldn’t wait to leave ‘miserable’ London – branding the capital ‘Europe’s slum’ and saying British steak even in luxury restaurants tasted like cardboard.
Entrepreneur Ali Hasani embarked on a lavish trip to the Big Smoke this summer, dining in some of the city’s most expensive restaurants and splashing out on designer items.
However, the 22-year-old left the capital feeling disillusioned and says Brits simply ‘don’t know good food or how to cook’ – even comparing one swanky restaurant’s steak dish to cardboard.
The self-proclaimed millionaire said Londoners were ‘miserable’ and wasn’t surprised as he found the city ‘depressing’ and ‘scruffy’.
Ali said the city could never compare to the beauty of Dubai where he lives – joking that he couldn’t wait to return to his home and experience real luxury.

The singleton says he enjoys the finer things in life – claiming he recently forked out an eye-watering $60,000 on an extravagant restaurant date.
Ali, who boasts 11.3 million followers on Instagram, described Londoners as ‘miserable’ and soon jetted away to experience ‘real luxury’ back in the UAE.
Ali said: ‘London is depressing. Everyone who lives there seems so miserable.
‘London has some OK things to see – but it’s just so scruffy and dirty. It doesn’t even compare to Dubai. Dubai is the best city in the world.
‘Dubai is the city of my dreams, whatever you want in the world – you can have it in Dubai.
‘One of the reasons I live in Dubai is if you want to buy a car or you want to buy a house, you can buy it in one hour. It’s safe, secure and respectful.
‘You just don’t feel that in London. It really doesn’t compare to Dubai. It’s like Europe’s slum compared to Dubai. If you want your dream life, it’s in Dubai.
‘A lot of people aren’t happy in London. They’re miserable. If you ask people in Dubai, 99 per cent say yes.’
And Ali failed to be enamoured by London’s ‘lacklustre’ restaurant scene as well – remarking that the city ‘didn’t come close’ to the luxury dining of Dubai.

Ali claims to be a self-made millionaire who runs his own company aiming to help people earn money through the crypto market
Ali said: ‘I went to one restaurant and ordered a very expensive steak and it tasted like cardboard.
‘In Dubai, the quality of food and service you get just doesn’t come close. It’s out of this world.
‘London is very lacklustre compared to it. I struggled to get a good meal – it seems Brits can’t cook and don’t know good food.
‘I just wasn’t impressed by the food or service. Once you’ve eaten in the best restaurants in the world in Dubai, you just know what good quality is and unfortunately not a lot comes close to that.
‘The prices in London and Dubai are the same but in Dubai, the quality is just so much better.’
Ali also likes to splurge on others while dining out – spending a whopping $60,000 on a date recently.
Ali said: ‘Just on one date, I spent $60,000 in one restaurant. It’s just not that much money to me.
‘That’s one of the good things about being single – I can treat other people like women too. I enjoy spending money on others’

The business owner says he grew the company from just 10 employees to 1,200 staff members – and has since expanded into three branches.
Ali said: ‘When I first set up the company, it was to make money, but now it’s about more than that. I want people to have a better life, be successful, and grow my company as much as possible.
‘I bought my first crypto token when I was 12 and lost all my money. Then I started getting more knowledge about crypto when I was 16 and began investing properly.
‘I had many dark spots in my life and I used them as a launch pad. There were days when even my account balance was below $1 and there was a time when my company was facing bankruptcy, but I did not give up and returned to the market even stronger than before.
‘I always try to teach people that they only need themselves to achieve their goals and should use their difficulties as a launchpad.
‘I never give up and always use the darkness and difficult conditions of my life as a launchpad for the progress of my life and learn from them.
‘My goal is to expand as much as possible – and ultimately branch out into Europe and help people all over the world.’
