Old Castello - Pure Veg Restaurant and Cafe in Jumeirah Beach — Restaurant in Dubai

A lively beautiful restaurant nestled in Jumeirah with amazing food, sheesha and live entertainment. Been here on last weekend on a saturday night for dinner, the place was full and buzzing with lively crowd. We were greeted by Arjun who was very cheerful and I must say he made our evening better with his suggestions on food and a top notch service . We tried the paan flavored sheesha followed by some yummy bites and mocktails. Amuse Bouche- Cheese Croque with pepper molly, this was a good start for our first bite of delicious. Excellent presentation and it just melted in a bite. Broccoli and Mushroom soup-- Little did i expect that a combination of broccoli and mushroom soup would make me crave for more and more.... It was that good and a must try !! Probably the first time I finished my soup bowl so swiftly. Kale Leaves with Quinoa Salad --This was not just delectable but the way it was made right at our table was a feast to the eyes. It was very yum. Fattoush --This is my favorite and luckily most of the places i get to try the best ones and off course this was in par with my expectation. Cold Mezze - Beetroot mutabel, baba ghanoush and hummus. All these three were simply superb. Again its a chefs special of adding up some Indian flavors on this middle eastern cuisine had given that amazing deliciousness. Beetroot mutabel and Baba ghanoush is a must must have ! Hot Mezze- Spiced potato, Grilled cottage cheese and chicken liver. Am not a great fan of chicken liver but my friends thoroughly enjoyed it while i simply relished the Grilled cottage cheese which was incredible. On the Grills- Kebab Halabi, Sheesh Tawook and charcoal grilled chicken. Loved the sheesh tawook and grilled chicken the most. They were tender , juicy and bustling with flavors. I didnt need a dip for it though it was there , i barely had coz you could just have it the way it was ! Mocktails - We tried something with peach and watermelon and a cucumber punch. Loved the cucumber punch . And finally it was time for some desserts--we had Umm ali and Bas Bousa with cream . Umm Ali was divine and scooped it through without leaving a trace .

Since it was a saturday it was Arabic live music which starts at 10 pm, they are open till 3 pm. They do have bingo nights on wednesday which I would want to experience sometime .

A perfect ambience to chill out either outdoors or indoors, very spacious, excellent service , scrumptious food , live entertainment, sheesha and ample parking space ! I think I dont need more reasons to go back here ! Love...

Hala guys, It’s @OldCastelloJumeirah here in Dubai 🇦🇪 We visited the authentic Arabian and Indian food heaven that born since almost 12 years in Jumeira 🇦🇪 We tried many cuisines today and it was amazing. The Arabian and Indian starter was served with ala chef cuisines by Chef Dhan Singh Bisht, the professional chef in town. For the starters, we had beet root chaat sunheri panner tikka which was sweet-sour and lovely taste. The Lebanese hummus was nice, it is incomparable to any other hummus place. In addition, the chicken gulnar kabab and also the kabab halabi was so tasty with a soft mouthfeel. The fattoush salad was so fresh and fruity, it’s simply mouthwatering. The prawns lasoon was so good and the after taste; delicious! They served their signature cuisines; such as the lamb biryani. Which was not only juicy but also so soft, it basically melts in my mouth. The biryani was a tasty compliment to the lamb. I requested the mexican fajita to be spicy and it was so delicious. The kind of spicy that was extremely well balanced. Butter chicken with zaatar naan was also fantastic. The combination mixed well for an unforgettable course, making it a highly recommended meal. My asian colada was so fresh and lovely. Not only that, the passion-fruit mojito had an electrifying taste! Definitely a must try!

Chef Dhan Singh Bisht presented his cuisines very well. I’m lucky to have met him and he’s very talented, one of best chef I’ve ever met. Last but not least we’re very thankful for all the talented staffs in there, the chef greeted and accompanied us for most of our duration there; he's very generous chef 🤠
