Not every TikTok food trend holds up, but this one is getting people talking for the right reasons. At Lush Burger, located inside JW Marriott Marquis Dubai, there’s a summer-only off-menu item that’s giving soft serve a salty twist.
Ask for it and you’ll get a cup of vanilla (or chocolate) ice cream, topped with golden fries and finished with a light drizzle of olive oil. It’s not listed anywhere, but staff will know what you’re talking about.

The combination brings together a sweet-salty flavour profile that’s familiar to anyone who’s ever dipped fries in a milkshake. But here, it’s done with more intention. The salt from the fries cuts through the sweetness of the ice cream, and the olive oil adds a savoury layer that rounds things out.
Lush Burger is known for going off-script with its menu. Whether it’s a Cheeto fried chicken burger or a black Angus smash patty, the spot has earned a reputation for playful, satisfying dishes.

This fries-and-ice cream combo is available at Lush Burger all summer long, but only if you ask for it.
Want to try more unexpected summer bites? Pickl is also getting creative with the heat — their fried chicken and ice cream sandwich is on the menu until the end of August.
