Magic Corn Restaurant — Restaurant in Dubai

I rarely leave reviews, but the situation at Magic Corn has become impossible to ignore. The smell coming from this place is overwhelming — and it’s not just inside. You can smell it from the road, even with your car windows closed. I live nearby, and there are days when the odour reaches my garden and balcony, which says a lot about how strong it is.

Before the fire, the place wasn’t perfect, but it was manageable. Since they burned down and reopened, however, the smell has become significantly worse. It’s hard to understand how a complete rebuild could result in an environment that smells this bad. Whether it’s poor ventilation, burnt oil, or something wrong with their exhaust system, it clearly needs urgent attention.

Inside, the air feels heavy and unpleasant, and the scent clings to your clothes long after you leave. It’s not just off-putting — it’s unbearable.

I genuinely wanted to support this business after their reopening, especially considering what they went through, but this has gone beyond a minor issue. A restaurant should never make an entire street — or neighbourhood — smell like burnt corn and grease.

Until they fix the source of the odour and improve their ventilation, I honestly can’t recommend visiting. Magic Corn has potential, but unless this problem is taken seriously, it’s going to keep driving people away instead of bringing them in. You would be much better off at the zaatar w zeit...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Experience at Magic Corn Restaurant!

I had a wonderful time at Magic Corn Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — especially the signature corn dishes, which were absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, polite, and quick to serve, making the whole experience enjoyable. The restaurant was clean and had a nice, cozy atmosphere.

Highly recommend Magic Corn to anyone looking for tasty food and great service! I’ll definitely be coming back...
