  I am staying at the Radisson Blu at Deira but decided to order some hummus and Shawarma. The best place (and coincidentally the closest) was Aroos Damascus. They gave hot and fresh pita bread (4) for 1 plate of Hummus Beiruti which was a garlicky’er and spicier version of the classic hummus and 2x chicken shawarma. The shawarmas were fresh but I’m used to Mayo and garlic sauce on my shawarmas in India. The meat was cooked well and despite a 10 minute delivery time, the crust was crunchy! The salad was fresh and had the crunch in every bite. I am glad I chose to order in, than calling for room service. Delivery guy called me on my India number to let me know he was at the reception with my stuff. Fantastic experience.

  Aroos Damascus is a nostalgic place for me and my husband, having grown up in Dubai in the 90’s. This was always the restaurant of choice when heading out for Syrian/Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant is always packed, especially on the weekends. Seating is available both indoors and out, which is great these days, considering the weather is so pleasant outdoors. The staff is friendly and the service is prompt. We visited on a very busy Friday evening, and were amazed at how we were done with dinner in an hour. Parking might be a challenge as limited parking is available around the area. They do offer valet parking at AED10 per hour.We ordered the following:*Chicken Shawarma – nothing extra ordinary, just right. We like ours with extra Tahina sauce, practically dripping and I suggest you try it next time.*Hot Potatoes – they make the best hot potatoes in town. Basically baked potato wedges tossed in spices and olive oil.*Fattah with Meat Shawarma – Served in a clay pot, it is a gooey mix of stale pita bread, yogurt, chick peas and topped with shawarma meat. Not the best I’ve had, but good for these winter evenings. *Arayes – these were grilled and crisp to perfection. The minced meat filling was good. They tasted delicious with hummus and garlic sauce. *Mix Grill – consisted of pieces of chicken, meat, kababs and wings – Depending on the number of people on your table, you can customize the platter size. The meat was well marinated and juicy. The kababs were soft and flavorful. They serve unlimited refills of hot out-of-the-oven arabic bread. Hummus and other accompaniments have to be ordered on the side and are not served with the grills. The prices are fairly reasonable, the servings are large and the food is great. Highly recommend that you try out this place. alldatglittersaintgold.wordpress.com

  Quick service, ample seating, good food and value for money. Complimentary freshly baked Arabic breads refilled continuously, the salad ingredients were served as a whole making it tasty difficult to eat, the olives and pickles bowl were a nice touch. Ordered:1. Garlic Paste: tasted nice, can be shared between 3-4 people. 2. Hummus: creamy, tasted OK too, can be shared between 3-4 people3. Falafel: excellent! Good quantity to share with a large group, donut shaped, crispy outer with tender inside, served along with a yoghurt dip. 4. Chicken Shawarma: good portion size for 1, tasted good 5. Lamb Chops: each piece was tad too small for a chop, not enough meat, not worth it 6. Charcoal Chicken (half): served with fries, tasted good. Can be shared easily between 2 people. Overall, you get what you paid for, consistent taste.
