Food blogger Ayeh Manfre has taken her 2.3 million followers inside Dubai’s McDonald’s in a TikTok – and many were surprised by the impressive quality of cuisine.
The Sydney-based foodie, better known as Cooking With Ayeh, posted a video of her trying the McArabia Chicken, McVeggie Burger, Chicken McTenders, and chips.
‘This is so good,’ she said as she took a bite of her veggie burger. ‘Aussie Macca’s, bring out a veggie burger!’
Ayeh praised the Dubai Macca’s veggie burger and wished Australia followed in their footsteps
Many more were shocked by the interesting shape of the McArabia wrap.
‘The wrap looks so authentic to Middle Eastern cuisine,’ said one woman. ‘Not what I would expect fast food to look like at all!’
‘Planning a trip to Dubai just for their Macca’s,’ wrote another.
But dozens of commenters could not believe Australia did not offer vegetarian options.
‘What do you mean there’s no vegetarian option in Australia…’ said one man.
‘This makes no sense,’ echoed another. ‘Ireland has a veggie deluxe burger which is one of the best.’
‘The UK has had veggie burgers for almost twenty years now – catch up!”

But Ayeh was not the first Australian to venture out to a foreign Macca’s.
Australian TikToker and former Love Island star Jessie Wynter posted a viral TikTok of her Macca’s trip in London which later sparked a heated debate over which is better.
‘I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone while I’m here and try something that isn’t on the Aussie menu,’ she said in her video.
Jessie ordered a classic combination of fries, the Chicken Legend burger, and cheesy garlic bites.

‘I’ve had a lot of Macca’s in my life,’ Jessie said, ‘but the Chicken Legend burger is my favourite ever.’
She added, ‘The chicken and the bun were absolutely amazing – I am so devastated we don’t have these things on the Australian menu.’
Jessie also sang praises of the garlic bites: ‘Whoever thought to put cheesy garlic bites on the McDonald’s menu – you deserve a medal! These were so good.’
Hundreds of people from all around the world left comments on Jessie’s video about Macca’s specials in their countries.
‘You need to try Irn Bru if you get to a McDonald’s in Scotland,’ one man said. ‘Some places in England might sell it, but god it’s so good over here.’
‘The McDonald’s in India has a Maharaja Mac and it’s the best burger I’ve ever tasted,’ shared another.

But some had some tips for the British Chicken Legend as well.
‘If you get the BBQ Chicken Legend and add cheese and bacon to it – I swear it’s unreal,’ said one woman.
‘I agree, adding cheese to the Chicken Legend was the best decision I’ve ever made.’
A third added, ‘Easily one of my favourite dishes.’

But others agreed that UK Macca’s was simply the best.
‘As an Aussie I was convinced we had it the best over here, but looking at that menu … wow.’
‘Okay, but why does that look SO MUCH BETTER?’ asked another.
A third added, ‘I was raised on London McDonald’s and trust me, it does not get better!’
