Aroos Damascus is my pick for a Syrian grill meal that does not need to end at midnight. Choose Deira for the latest published close, 4am; Al Manara closes at 2am and Sharjah at 3am. I’d order a grill, hummus and fattoush before piling on extra mains. The branch matters to the bill, too: that three-item selection currently lists at AED 111 in Deira and AED 128 in Al Manara on Deliveroo, before fees—not a fixed meal for two.
Choose the branch before the order
The operator’s current locations page lists these three branches. I would use the closing time to rule out the wrong journey, then check the last kitchen order if arriving late.
| Branch | Published hours | My reason to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Al Muraqqabat, Deira | 7am–4am | The latest closing time; use the Green Palace Hotel ground-floor address. |
| Al Manara, Sheikh Zayed Road | 8am–2am | A Sheikh Zayed Road meal without a journey to Deira just for later hours. |
| Al Qasimia, Sharjah | 7am–3am | A Sharjah option at Bin Rasheed Al Khoory Building, King Abdul Aziz Street. |
My recommendation
Editorial recommendation: 4/5. This is a guide-based judgment of the menu, setting, value and booking fit described here, not a scored tasting or a customer-review average.
The verdict: Four out of five on this guide’s recommendation scale: a focused Syrian menu and useful late closing times give it a clear purpose. I’d choose the branch on my route, then ask about the last kitchen order for a very late arrival. The limit is practical, not a claimed taste-test deduction: the three closing times are not interchangeable, and closing time is not a promise that every dish stays available until the final minute.
If the group wants dumplings or hot pot instead of a Syrian grill order, use our Chinese restaurant shortlist in Dubai. That is a different meal, not a like-for-like comparison with Aroos. Here I’d keep the order focused and make the branch do the work.
A Damascus name that has stuck around Dubai for decades
Aroos Damascus describes decades of Syrian cooking in the UAE. Its own account highlights grilled meats, kebbeh and manakish alongside appetisers. I’d build the meal around those rather than treat the long menu as a challenge to order everything. One grill selection, something cool to scoop up with bread and a salad gives a sharing order a clear shape; shawarma makes more sense when you want a smaller meal.
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: my starting shortlist for adding a dip or salad alongside a grill.
- 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.

FAQ
How many Aroos Damascus branches are there in the UAE?
Three on the current restaurant locations page: Al Muraqqabat and Al Manara in Dubai, and Al Qasimia in Sharjah.
Which branch is open latest?

Do I need to book a table?

Which branch fits your evening?
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.
Menu and branch check, 21 October 2026: the operator’s menu page did not display priced dishes. The delivery examples below come from the named branch listings, viewed without a delivery address or a completed checkout. Call +971 600 500022 for a dine-in quote or check the app’s final total for your address; neither route establishes identical prices across branches.
The same three dishes: Deira versus Al Manara
For a concrete starting budget, I compared the same named items on the Deira delivery menu and Al Manara delivery menu on 21 October 2026. These are item subtotals, not restaurant packages.
| Item | Deira | Al Manara |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed Grill Aroos Damascus | AED 57 | AED 65 |
| Hummus | AED 24 | AED 28 |
| Fattoush | AED 30 | AED 35 |
| Three-item subtotal | AED 111 | AED 128 |
The difference is AED 17 before fees. I would compare the delivered totals, not travel across Dubai for that saving: a different delivery fee can change the result. The listings do not establish equal portion weights, so this is a same-name price comparison, not proof that one branch gives more food for the money. Drinks, extras and any service or delivery charges are additional.
My order: start with that grill-and-mezze combination, establish the portion, then add a second main if the table needs it. I would not turn an approximate “cost for two” on a directory into a spending promise. A diner with a food allergy should also ask the selected branch about ingredients and cross-contact; a dish name is not an allergen guarantee.
