A Middle Eastern millionaire says he couldn’t wait to leave ‘miserable’ London – calling the capital ‘the slum of Europe’ and saying British steak tasted like cardboard even in luxury restaurants.
Entrepreneur Ali Hasani took a lavish trip to the Big Smoke this summer, where he dined at some of the city’s most expensive restaurants and splurged on designer goods.
However, the 22-year-old left the capital feeling disillusioned and says the British simply ‘don’t eat well and can’t cook’, even comparing a fancy restaurant’s steak platter to cardboard.
The self-styled millionaire said Londoners were ‘miserable’ and was not surprised when he found the city ‘depressing’ and ‘filthy’.
Ali said the city could never compare to the beauty of Dubai, where he lives. He joked that he couldn’t wait to return to his home and experience true luxury.

The self-styled millionaire said Londoners were ‘miserable’ and was not surprised when he found the city ‘depressing’ and ‘filthy’.
The singleton says he enjoys the finer things in life. He claims he recently made a whopping $60,000 on an extravagant restaurant date.
Ali, who has 11.3 million followers on Instagram, described the Londoners as ‘miserable’ and quickly jetted off to experience ‘real luxury’ in the UAE.
Ali said: ‘London is depressing. Everyone who lives there seems so miserable.
‘London has some good things to see, but it’s just so dirty and dirty. It can’t even be compared 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 do it in Dubai.
‘One of the reasons I live in Dubai is that if you want to buy a car or a house, you can buy it in an hour. It is safe, familiar and respectful.
‘You just don’t feel that in London. It really cannot be compared to Dubai. It’s like the slum of Europe compared to Dubai. If you want your dream life, it is in Dubai.
‘A lot of people are not happy in London. They are miserable. If you ask people in Dubai, 99 percent say yes.”
And Ali wasn’t keen on London’s ‘bland’ restaurant scene either – noting that the city ‘didn’t come close’ to Dubai’s luxury restaurants.

Ali said: ‘I went to a restaurant and ordered a very expensive steak and it tasted like cardboard.
‘In Dubai the quality of food and service doesn’t come close. It’s out of this world.
‘London is very bland in comparison. I struggled to get a good meal – it seems Brits can’t cook and don’t know good food.
‘I just wasn’t impressed with 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 much 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 – he recently spent a whopping $60,000 on a date.
Ali said: “On one date I spent $60,000 at one restaurant. It’s just not that much money for me.
‘That’s one of the good things about being single: I can treat other people like women too. I like to spend money on others’

The business owner says he grew the company from just 10 employees to 1,200 employees – and has since expanded to three locations.
Ali said: “When I first started 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 business as much as possible.
“I bought my first crypto token when I was twelve and lost all my money. Then at the age of 16 I started to become more knowledgeable about crypto and started investing properly.
‘I had a lot of dark places in my life and I used them as a launching pad. There were days when even my account balance was less than $1 and there was a time when my business went bankrupt, but I didn’t 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 springboard.
‘I never give up and always use the darkness and difficult circumstances in my life as a springboard to progress my life and learn from it.
“My goal is to expand as much as possible – and eventually expand to Europe and help people all over the world.”
