Been there to this place for lunch and it was amazing experience.Very beautiful ambiance and this place serves very tasty food with Shisha also.We tried their chili potato, cheese roll, chicken kebab, dum biryani , daal makhani & sahi tukda in dessert.Every thing was super super tasty specially Kebab and biryani. & Sahi Tukda is one the best.Will love to visit again to try couple of more options.

Ramadan may be different this time around ,but hotels and restaurants are celebrating with all the safety measures in place. Visited @oldcastellojumeirah to try their #iftarbuffet last week.We got to Indulge in the world of the unique flavours and gastronomical amenities at New Castello Restaurant & Caffe. The magnificent environment and the delicious flavours will charm and capture you forever. The buffet spread included Arabic, Lebanese ,Italian , Indian grills and Mediterranean all at a price of 75aed. Also Shisha lovers can enjoy it at a price of 89aed. My Mr. enjoyed watching #iplmatch post iftar.

Shisha and food lover?? This is a place you absolutely want to try. With ample parking outside, access to the place is quiet easy. Their food is quiet good, and Shisha flavors are decent. On the downside, if youre there on Thursday night, expect a loud night with ear destroying sound levels on the music they play. Also to mention, their prices are slightly higher that what I would like to pay for the quality. But just slightly.

Absolutely incredible food. Try the dal makhni, paneer Tikka masala, chicken gulnar and lamb chops. And ask for Kaleem to be your attendant.

Absolutely in love with this traditional Arabic designed restaurant, and I was completely surprised with the food and how good the flavors were of these several Indian, Arabic & Turkish dishes that I tried followed by dessert and sheesha. I was there with a friend and we couldn’t agree on which was the best dish as they were all great but dessert was like a cherry on the top of a great evening! I will be back and recommend it to my other friends! Must visit 😊

A lively beautiful restaurant nestled in Jumeirah with amazing food, sheesha and live entertainment. Been here on last weekend on a saturday night for dinner, the place was full and buzzing with lively crowd. We were greeted by Arjun who was very cheerful and I must say he made our evening better with his suggestions on food and a top notch service . We tried the paan flavored sheesha followed by some yummy bites and mocktails.Amuse Bouche- Cheese Croque with pepper molly, this was a good start for our first bite of delicious. Excellent presentation and it just melted in a bite.Broccoli and Mushroom soup-- Little did i expect that a combination of broccoli and mushroom soup would make me crave for more and more.... It was that good and a must try !! Probably the first time I finished my soup bowl so swiftly.Kale Leaves with Quinoa Salad --This was not just delectable but the way it was made right at our table was a feast to the eyes. It was very yum.Fattoush --This is my favorite and luckily most of the places i get to try the best ones and off course this was in par with my expectation.Cold Mezze - Beetroot mutabel, baba ghanoush and hummus. All these three were simply superb. Again its a chefs special of adding up some Indian flavors on this middle eastern cuisine had given that amazing deliciousness. Beetroot mutabel and Baba ghanoush is a must must have !Hot Mezze- Spiced potato, Grilled cottage cheese and chicken liver. Am not a great fan of chicken liver but my friends thoroughly enjoyed it while i simply relished the Grilled cottage cheese which was incredible.On the Grills- Kebab Halabi, Sheesh Tawook and charcoal grilled chicken. Loved the sheesh tawook and grilled chicken the most. They were tender , juicy and bustling with flavors. I didnt need a dip for it though it was there , i barely had coz you could just have it the way it was !Mocktails - We tried something with peach and watermelon and a cucumber punch. Loved the cucumber punch .And finally it was time for some desserts--we had Umm ali and Bas Bousa with cream . Umm Ali was divine and scooped it through without leaving a trace .Since it was a saturday it was Arabic live music which starts at 10 pm, they are open till 3 pm. They do have bingo nights on wednesday which I would want to experience sometime .A perfect ambience to chill out either outdoors or indoors, very spacious, excellent service , scrumptious food , live entertainment, sheesha and ample parking space ! I think I dont need more reasons to go back here ! Love this place !

Hala guys, It’s @OldCastelloJumeirah here in Dubai 🇦🇪 We visited the authentic Arabian and Indian food heaven that born since almost 12 years in Jumeira 🇦🇪 We tried many cuisines today and it was amazing. The Arabian and Indian starter was served with ala chef cuisines by Chef Dhan Singh Bisht, the professional chef in town. For the starters, we had beet root chaat sunheri panner tikka which was sweet-sour and lovely taste. The Lebanese hummus was nice, it is incomparable to any other hummus place. In addition, the chicken gulnar kabab and also the kabab halabi was so tasty with a soft mouthfeel.The fattoush salad was so fresh and fruity, it’s simply mouthwatering. The prawns lasoon was so good and the after taste; delicious! They served their signature cuisines; such as the lamb biryani. Which was not only juicy but also so soft, it basically melts in my mouth. The biryani was a tasty compliment to the lamb. I requested the mexican fajita to be spicy and it was so delicious. The kind of spicy that was extremely well balanced. Butter chicken with zaatar naan was also fantastic. The combination mixed well for an unforgettable course, making it a highly recommended meal. My asian colada was so fresh and lovely. Not only that, the passion-fruit mojito had an electrifying taste! Definitely a must try!Chef Dhan Singh Bisht presented his cuisines very well. I’m lucky to have met him and he’s very talented, one of best chef I’ve ever met. Last but not least we’re very thankful for all the talented staffs in there, the chef greeted and accompanied us for most of our duration there; hes very generous chef 🤠Old Castello is located nearby Jumaira, directly behind Jumaira Plaza Dubai. An easily recommended place to visit if your looking to feel the mystical and delicious Arabian Indian atmosphere. The restaurant was very clean with talented staffs that serves you better than your average restaurants.

Going to Old Castello Restaurant for an Iftar buffet was such a blessing. We definitely have some good time and some good food in an affordable price. We were also treated with some amazing shisha and drinks. Their place is spacious and is adorned with some colorful fancy lamps and lighting fixtures. My favorite food served were their Lamb Ouzi, Pasta, Beff Stragonoff, and their Lovely desserts. They definitely have a lot to offer. Good Job Old Castello Restaurant

We have been going to old Castello since a long time. Since more than a year we could see a lot of changes and we loved the new menu. Be it Indian, Arabic or Italian, it’s all delicious. The service is amazing. The chef always puts in an extra effort by visiting our table every once in a while to make sure everything’s good. It’s a perfect place for good food, Sheesha and a good card or board game with your friends. The outdoor seating is perfect during winter. I totally recommend this place.

Great atmosphere, and nice food, but shisha disappointed me as I went for shisha only. I started smelling shisha burning within 20 mins of order and when complained, the staff was just ignoring. Paying a good amount and yet unprofessionalism is not acceptable at all specially to me!!

Visited the Old Castello restaurant that has a beautiful classic antique interior with Ramadan shenanigans. We tried out the iftar spread yesterday priced at Aed 79 & Aed 99 if you opt for sheesha.The ambiance is quite welcoming and lively and the staff are quite hospitable.The buffet spread is a mix of Middle Eastern and Indian options.  The options were quite limited, however, they were quite focused on the quality and taste of the food, since every dish presented on the table was flavorsome and fresh.Our favorites from the spread were the different salad options, The succulent and tender seekh kebabs and those crispy and cheesy spring rolls.For the main course, the butter chicken was toothsome, aromatic and flavorful. The lamb biryani and ouzi were great too. The grilled chicken and lemon sauce was delicious.For desserts, unfortunately there werent many options but we definitely enjoyed those Arabic doughnuts (balushahi).For drinks, the Ramadan drinks were great. Not too sweet nor too bland. The best option was definitely the Laban.

Arabic for “the castle”, “the palace”, Castello restaurant & Coffee shop is the only place in the city you can really call “your place to meet” with family, friends, and colleagues.Located behind Jumaira Plaza, Old Castello Restaurant & Café has been known to offer authentic Arabic cuisine, to many for over 12 years now! The new menu offers Arabic & Indian Cuisine along with a mix of other delectable servings for guests visiting from different cultures.Old Castello Restaurant & Café is a quaint and a warm place that endures the vibes of a rustic & traditional Arabian setting. With the perfect lighting and musical nights held twice a week, the restaurant takes you on a soulful journey, as the Chef serves the most palatable dishes.From hummus to pasta, from salads to biryani, this place is a melting pot of cuisines, one can try under a roof. As you step into the restaurant, you will be greeted with warmth, and the friendly staff will also recommend dishes that you can try from the vast menu.This restaurant open at 12 noon, and started to get crowded after office hours until 2-3 AM. This is famous place to have Shisha.
