TL;DR
Dubai malls have official RTA taxi stands with queues — follow the Taxi signs inside. You can also walk to the metro or flag down an RTA taxi on the street without any app.
No internet needed to get a taxi in Dubai. Follow the Taxi signs inside the mall to the designated parking exit — there's a physical queue. The metro is also walkable from most major malls.
You can also step outside and hail an RTA taxi on the street — just raise your hand at the roadside. Only take cars with the official RTA checkered markings; avoid unmarked private cars or luxury vehicles touting rides.
Even if there are internet issues at a particular mall, it's no problem — taxis can be flagged outside the exit, and the metro station is reachable on foot following signs.
