Aroos Damascus is our practical pick for a late Syrian meal when the branch and closing time matter more than a formal occasion. Its three listed locations do not keep identical hours: Deira closes at 4am, Sharjah at 3am and Al Manara at 2am. Pick the branch before choosing the order. A late-night recommendation is only useful if it sends you to the right kitchen.
A Damascus name that has stuck around Dubai for decades
Aroos Damascus dates its UAE history to 1980. Today, its published food categories include grills, shawarma, appetisers and Syrian sweets. Our ordering preference is a grill-led meal with a cold appetiser and salad for sharing, or shawarma for a smaller order. That gives the table more variety than ordering several grilled meats without considering bread, accompaniments or appetite. The menu format is the reason for that recommendation, not an undocumented taste test.
Every branch, where it actually is
The restaurant currently lists three UAE branches: two in Dubai and one in Sharjah. Here is the breakdown.
Al Muraqqabat, Deira (the original)
The Al Muraqqabat location is on the Green Palace Hotel’s ground floor in Deira. It has the latest published closing time, at 4am, making it the first branch we would compare for a meal after the other two close. Call about the last kitchen order before a very late journey. A venue’s closing time is not a guarantee that every dish can still be ordered minutes beforehand.
- Address: Green Palace Hotel, ground floor, Al Muraqqabat Road, Deira, Dubai
- Hours: 7am–4am daily, per the restaurant
- Planning: use the Green Palace Hotel ground-floor location; establish parking and the last kitchen order directly.
Al Manara, Sheikh Zayed Road
The Al Manara branch is on Sheikh Zayed Road and operates until 2am. Choose it when that address fits your route, rather than travelling across Dubai just because Deira is open later. If shisha, drive-through service or parking arrangements determine your choice, establish them with the branch before setting off; the operator’s location page does not confirm those amenities.
- Address: Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Manara, Dubai
- Hours: 8am–2am daily, per the restaurant
- Planning: choose this branch for its Sheikh Zayed Road address; confirm any essential parking or shisha requirement directly.
Al Qasimia, Sharjah
The Sharjah branch is in Al Qasimia, at Bin Rasheed Al Khoory Building on King Abdul Aziz Street. Its 3am closing sits between the two Dubai branches. It is a separate journey, so compare it from your actual starting point instead of assuming Sharjah is a convenient alternative for every Dubai resident.
- Address: Bin Rasheed Al Khoory Building, King Abdul Aziz Street, Al Nad, Al Qasimia, Sharjah
- Hours: 7am–3am daily, per the restaurant
- Planning: use the Al Qasimia address and allow time to reach the correct branch.
What to order
For a sharing meal, start with the grills and cold appetisers. The operator lists kebab, shish tawook, grilled meat and grilled chicken, alongside hummus, mutabal, tabbouleh and fattoush. Ask about the actual platter size before ordering for two; “mixed grill” does not establish the weight or number of pieces. Choose one grill order and build around it rather than assume any single plate feeds the entire table.
- Grills: choose the actual kebab, shish tawook or mixed selection offered by the branch, then establish portions.
- Meat choices: compare the cuts and serving size on the branch’s current menu before building a sharing order.
- Hummus, mutabal and tabbouleh: the appetiser spread most tables start with
- Kebbeh and traditional plates: an alternative to ordering another grill; choose from the current branch selection.
- Shawarma: a more focused order when you want one main item rather than a full sharing spread.
- Knafeh and baklava: the operator lists both; decide on dessert after the mains rather than over-ordering at the start.

Our recommendation: choose Deira for the latest published closing time, Al Manara for a Sheikh Zayed Road visit or Al Qasimia for a Sharjah meal. Order grills with appetisers for sharing, and shawarma for a smaller meal. Confirm the portion and price before treating a platter as a two-person package. This is a branch-specific plan, rather than a claim that every location has identical facilities or prices.
A simple sharing plan
For two diners, compare one grill selection, one cold appetiser and one salad before adding more mains. Ask whether the grill comes with bread or other sides and how much meat the selected plate contains. If both guests want different main dishes, order individually and share the appetisers instead. That is a clearer plan than assuming the largest platter is always the best value.
Facts checked on 9 October 2026. The operator’s menu webpage does not currently display a priced menu. Use the selected branch’s current ordering menu or call +971 600 500022 for the dishes, total and any delivery fee. For delivery, check the actual service area and branch serving your address; a dine-in recommendation does not establish delivery coverage.
Deira delivery menu price example
The Deira listing on Deliveroo shows Mixed Grill Aroos Damascus at AED 54, hummus at AED 24 and fattoush at AED 28. Together that is AED 106 for those three food items before delivery, service charges or other additions. It is a delivery-menu comparison for that branch, not a dine-in price promise or a claim that the order feeds two. Check the selected address and checkout total before ordering.
