Asil, a restaurant with not just great views !! Yes it’s over looking the gorgeous beach, dubai eye, and the hotel’s pool but I would go for the great food & stay for the vibe. Mediterranean fusion, my town confusing and probably like just another restaurant but this one has got great taste and they’re using quality ingredients and I watch for that after having a fabulous meal here now let me tell you what all I had so you can just order the same and have a good time & impress your friends while you’re at it ! The food I wanna start by saying that has generous sharing portions so don’t go alone ! 😅 so here’s what we had, names are a bit confusing but i’ll share the exact names so you get the same stuff or just show them the pictures, staff is very well versed with the menu and were great help. Asil mezze platter( three bowls featured together in the images ) Gavurdagi salad, Cheese briouat, Grilled Octopus, these were the starters or mezze that we tried, the sambosa was extraordinary, and the dips too, the grilled octopus came on the bed of the delicious dip that works so well with the charred octopus and the octopus was soft and juicy, which is a very rare thing unless it’s done right, so yeah, definitely order that ! For mains, beef shashlik & beyti kebap, no I just want to say her that as simple as names are, the dishes themselves were not these were possibly the most juiciest tender meats that i’ve had in a long time. The one wrapped in the pita bread was as spectacular as the one grilled, also the portions are generous. You can see in the images how perfectly the meat has been grilled. love love love ! this is a licensed restaurant and there is live performances so I would advise you to make reservations and check what is happening on which day and going for whenever it is convenient or what you’re in the mood off. Also, I wasn’t very pleased with a dessert, mostly because i was too full, excellent drinks and offcourse end your meal with a turkish coffee, they’ve an outdoor terrace and a huge space indoors as well. enjoy...

This stunning restaurant can be found at Rixos Premium Dubai. A highly urbanized food hotspot presenting a unique dining experience with an in-house DJ and clarinet player alongside a complimentary mehndi artist, making this restaurant lounge, terrace, and bar a spectacular nightlife venue.

The food at this place was spectacular. We ordered the sharing mezza platter which included 5 dishes and each one was delicious. My favourite was the Mouhmara which tasted had the right balance of flavours and delicious with the complimentary bread basket.

ZAALOUK Smoked aubergine, tomato purée, onions, coriander, oriental spices (V)

(They kindly changed what was on the original selection to the above dish at our request)

HOMMOUS Chickpea purée, tahin, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil

TAKTOUKA Grilled peeled peppers, tomato

MOUHAMARA Bread crumbs, walnuts, chilli paste, pistachio, red pepper

VINE LEAVES Vine leaves stuffed with rice, caramelized onions, oriental spices,

We also ordered the Falafel and crushed potatoes (both dishes were again tasty and flavoursome).

The food was absolutely fantastic here and I cannot wait to visit again, but for us what made this experience extra special was the staff and the service. They advised us on what we could order based on our personal food preferences and even though we technically couldn’t use our entertainer voucher, they still gave us a discount on our final bill.

A personal thanks to Alayen, our waiter for the evening who served us and ensured everything went well.

A great place to dine as a couple, family or group of friends.
