Restaurants

Situated in the stylish Shangri-La Hotel, Dunes Cafe is a contemporary and elegant restaurant for leisurely lunches and evening meals. The menu offers a wide selection of well presented dishes with an international flavour, including Italian, Middle Eastern and Chinese. Depending on your appetite, you can choose to order a la carte or head straight to the buffet to fill your plate from a choice of live cooking stations.

For authentic Syrian cuisine, head to Aroos Damascus in Deira. This is a large restaurant with seating both inside and outside, and you can expect most of the tables to be filled until the small hours of the morning, giving the place a buzzing ambience. Order a selection of hot and cold starters, before moving on to grilled meats and kebabs.
