A Deira institution since 1980 serving generous, authentic Syrian food to a crowd of locals and long-time residents who skip the fancier options. Load up on the cold and hot mezze, charcoal-grilled meats, kibbeh and manakish, and eat on the patio for the full old-Dubai atmosphere. It's cash-friendly and unpretentious; parking around Al Muraqqabat Road can be a headache at busy hours.
