Al Shami Restaurant

Another long-standing titan of the Deira food scene. Al Shami is where you go for no-frills, high-speed, high-flavor Syrian mezze. Their garlic sauce (toum) is notoriously strong and addictive. **Baron (بارون)** — A secondary mention for its hyper-modern, chef-led approach to Levantine flavors in Dubai Hills. **Antika (أنتيكا)** — Included for its "dinner-and-a-show" vibe in DIFC, serving high-end mezze with a side of theatrical performance. **Hala Lebanese (هلا)** — Noted for its excellent value and its popular delivery service that brings high-quality mezze to residents across the city.
