For a meal after midnight in Deira, start with Aroos Damascus at Green Palace Hotel on Al Muraqqabat Road. The operator lists that branch until 4 am, and the Deira menu gives you a choice between an oven dish for the table and something to take away. Choose Kabab Erbil at 10 Al Muraqqabat Street if the table wants Iraqi wood-grilled fish or lamb and rice. The branch lists a 3 am close and asks diners to allow about an hour for masgouf. For Lebanese plates on Al Rigga Road, try Al Safadi at Al Dana Building earlier in the evening and call about the kitchen cutoff.

Deira covers several neighborhoods. These stops are in Al Muraqqabat and the Al Rigga area. Green Palace Hotel and Kabab Erbil have separate entrances in Al Muraqqabat. Al Dana Building is on Al Rigga Road. If your evening ends near the waterfront or City Centre Deira, use the restaurant’s exact pin to work out the trip. All three restaurants have branches elsewhere, so include the building name when you send the address to friends.
Aroos Damascus for a Syrian table after midnight
The operator lists Al Muraqqabat on the ground floor of Green Palace Hotel and gives hours of 7 am to 4 am. Its Al Manara branch has a different schedule and closes at 2 am. Some outside listings also show earlier closing for Deira. Use the operator’s branch directory as your starting point, then call 600 500 022 if you’re arriving late. Ask for Al Muraqqabat by name. A published closing time gives you a window for planning. The branch can tell you whether there’s still time to take a table or prepare food for collection. Aroos Damascus locations and contact
Ask about the oven if you still have time to sit down
The Deira ordering menu lists meat slices with potatoes at AED 51 under oven platters. The potatoes are cooked with the meat, so you can add a cold dish instead of ordering a second starch. Moutabbal at AED 25 brings roasted eggplant and tahini. Muhammara at AED 26 gives you roasted pepper and walnuts. The meat and potatoes with the moutabbal come to AED 76 at the listed delivery prices, before fees. If you want a little more for the table, an AED 30 fattoush takes the subtotal to AED 106. Use the dine-in menu at the restaurant. Aroos Damascus Deira oven platters and mezze
The same oven section lists kaftah tahina at AED 51, with meat under tahini sauce and Arabic bread on the side. Choose it if you want a dish you can scoop up with bread. If the table also wants a cold dip with a different flavour, the muhammara brings pepper and walnuts alongside the sesame sauce. At 2:45 am, the published schedule leaves 75 minutes. Give the branch the time the last person will get there and ask whether it can still put the oven dish on. If two people arrive well ahead of the others, check whether you can order a cold starter while the rest are on their way. Aroos Damascus Deira oven platters · Al Muraqqabat branch hours
Choose a pickup order you can carry
For a short stop, the Deira menu lists a falafel sandwich at AED 6, falafel with potatoes at AED 7 and a foul and falafel sandwich at AED 8. The last adds fava beans, so it suits someone who wants more than falafel on its own. For two people, one foul and falafel sandwich and a chicken saj sandwich with pickles at AED 17 come to AED 25 at the listed delivery prices. Tell the branch which sandwiches you want. Near closing, ask what it can have ready at the time you can get to the hotel entrance. Aroos Damascus Deira sandwiches
If you’re eating at home or at a hotel and want something to put in the middle, the AED 35 maqali combines fried cauliflower, aubergine, potatoes, onion and tomato. The menu also lists mousabaha at AED 26, with chickpeas, lemon and garlic, plus bread, pickles and vegetables. That gives two people separate textures to share for AED 61 before fees. Ask for the fried vegetables packed separately so you can serve them alongside the chickpeas. The restaurant lists delivery services, but the branch’s 4 am closing time gives you no order deadline for a particular address. If delivery is still available, compare the checkout estimate with the time the branch offers for collection. Aroos Damascus Deira special dishes · Aroos Damascus delivery information
The restaurant’s Instagram reel shows large rice and meat platters garnished with peppers and nuts. Its caption is about catering and occasion orders. Use the regular branch menu to choose dinner tonight, and ask ahead if you want an occasion-sized spread. Aroos Damascus on Instagram
Al Safadi for Lebanese plates on Al Rigga Road
Look for Al Safadi Restaurant Rigga, Al Dana Building. The operator’s branch directory lists the location as Rigga and gives +971 4 227 9922. The same directory also lists a Sheikh Zayed Road branch, and its Rigga entry includes a separate directions button. If you call about a table or give someone a pickup address, specify Al Rigga Road and the building. Published third-party hours disagree, so confirm the time the Rigga kitchen can take your order. Al Safadi locations · Rigga branch map
Choose the hot mezze when the group has already eaten a little
The operator's menu PDF lists fried makanek at AED 40. The small sausages come with lemon, so you can balance them with something milder. The AED 26 cheese rolls come fried or grilled. Put one order of each dish in the middle and the published subtotal is AED 66 including VAT. That can suit two diners who want a warm snack after an event. If one person wants a more substantial plate, the AED 34 yoghurt fatteh gives them chickpeas and crisp bread under yoghurt. Check which hot starters the Rigga kitchen can prepare when you arrive. Al Safadi hot starters menu
For three or four friends ordering several small dishes, the PDF lists four small kafta beajine at AED 28. The individual pastries give four people one each. Add the AED 38 halloumi salad with olives and zaatar, and hummus balila at AED 29 with cumin and garlic, for AED 95 at the published menu prices. The hot appetiser section includes the balila. Ask the branch to confirm the menu if you're calling close to the end of service. If only some of the group want supper, agree on the order before sitting down so you can check the hot dishes together. Al Safadi hot starters and salads
The brand’s official Instagram post shows a seasonal fruit platter with mint and Arabic coffee. It’s an example of how the restaurant serves a lighter finish. If you’re ordering close to closing, ask what the Rigga branch can serve alongside your meal. Al Safadi on Instagram
The operator’s PDF gives you several ways to end the meal. Riz bel hallib at AED 18 is rice pudding for the person who wants a small separate dessert. Cheese kunafah at AED 34 is baked semolina pastry with cheese, while the AED 45 mixed fruit platter is the choice to ask about if several people want fruit for the table. Two people sharing makanek, cheese rolls and the cheese kunafah would spend AED 100 at the published menu prices, before any extras. Confirm the Rigga menu and order the dessert with the mains if you are close to last service. Al Safadi menu PDF
Kabab Erbil for Iraqi fish or a late rice plate
The Deira branch of Kabab Erbil Iraqi Restaurant is at 10 Al Muraqqabat Street. It lists 9 am to 3 am daily and takes calls at +971 4 272 0843. The operator puts it about 500 metres from Al Rigga Metro and 800 metres from Union. Use the Deira branch when making a reservation or placing an order, since Kabab Erbil also operates in Sharjah. If you’re collecting, contact the branch to agree on a time. The operator’s site chat directs pickup orders to the branch. Kabab Erbil’s Deira branch · Pickup and reservation information
Call ahead if the fish is the reason for the trip
Masgouf starts with a freshwater fish split open and seasoned with tamarind and turmeric. The kitchen cooks it upright by a wood fire and finishes it over the coals. The Deira branch lists rice, bread and amba with the fish. That makes it the centre of a shared dinner. Use the operator’s serving ranges when deciding how much to order. The half fish is listed at AED 220 for two to four people, and the whole fish at AED 396 for four to eight. These are the operator’s online menu prices. Its Deira page lists 5% VAT at online checkout and a separate AED 20 delivery charge. Confirm the dine-in price with the branch. Masgouf preparation and portions · Kabab Erbil menu · Deira ordering terms
Both sizes take about an hour. An arrival at 1:30 am leaves 90 minutes before the published close, so a group that orders on arrival could spend most of its remaining time waiting for the fish. At 2:15 am, there are only 45 minutes left on the posted schedule. Call before leaving and ask what time the kitchen needs the order, when the fish can come out and how long you’ll have at the table. Give the branch your group size and expected arrival together. The FAQ says groups of ten or more should arrange their visit in advance. Masgouf timing · Kabab Erbil reservations and groups
Switch to quzi or kebab when the meal is smaller
If you’re deciding on the way there, ask what the kitchen can still make. The Deira page lists quzi lamb at AED 88, with slow-cooked lamb on spiced rice and toasted nuts and raisins. The operator suggests it for one or two people. The AED 88 Iraqi lamb kebab gives a second diner a charcoal-grilled option. Together they come to AED 176 at online menu prices before applicable charges. If four diners want fish and a separate lamb dish, the half fish and quzi come to AED 308 on the same basis. Ask whether the branch can have both ready together, especially for a late collection. Kabab Erbil’s Deira dishes and prices · Full menu
The restaurant has also shown its beef shawarma on Instagram, with sliced meat, fries and pickles in the photo and tahini and sumac onions in the caption. The post names the Deira and Sharjah branches. If you want shawarma as a quick stop, ask the Deira branch what it is serving that night. Kabab Erbil’s shawarma on Instagram
Choose between a table and a pickup
At 3:30 am, Aroos Damascus has half an hour left on its published schedule. If a group wants to sit down, ask whether the kitchen can still put through the oven dish at your estimated arrival. For pickup, ask if the counter is still taking sandwich orders and agree on a collection time at Green Palace Hotel. At Al Safadi, ask for Rigga by name and confirm the kitchen hours if you’re planning a late stop there. Aroos Damascus branch hours · Al Safadi Rigga contact
Meet at the correct landmark
If your group is coming from different parts of Deira, share the Green Palace Hotel pin for Aroos Damascus, the 10 Al Muraqqabat Street pin for Kabab Erbil or the Al Dana Building pin for Al Safadi. RTA lists Al Rigga, R17, and City Centre Deira, R16, as different Red Line stations. Use the restaurant pin to decide where to get off and check the return trip before settling in. The Metro timetable gives regular station hours and separate detailed departure times. If the group plans to eat near 4 am, arrange the ride home before ordering rather than assuming that a station on the map is still running. RTA station map · RTA timetable
Choose before you get in the car
You’re already on Al Rigga Road around 11 pm. Call Al Safadi if the group wants to sit down over a few dishes. Ask about a table and whether the kitchen can still make the hot starters when the last person arrives. If the group is coming from several places, share the Al Dana Building pin.
It’s after 1 am and the group wants a shared meal. If everyone wants masgouf, call Kabab Erbil first to see if there’s still time to prepare it. If the group is undecided or wants to eat later, check what Aroos Damascus can serve.
You want a quick Syrian meal. Start with Aroos Damascus and name Al Muraqqabat when you call. For one or two people, decide whether you want a sandwich or a table. For a group, ask whether there’s still time for the oven dish and a cold starter.
You’re close to the 4 am closing time. Call from where you are. Say when you’ll actually reach Green Palace Hotel and whether you want to sit down or collect. If you’re too late for a table, check whether a sandwich order still works. Aroos Damascus is the branch that publishes a 4 am close. If you expect to arrive after that, confirm another kitchen before setting off.
Updated 9 November 2026. Confirm last orders and branch hours directly when planning a late arrival.
