Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Unreliable shows

Brunch entertainment did not always match the advertised programme: one guest reported no belly dance, clarinet, henna, percussionist or DJ.

Loud music

The music can make conversation difficult, particularly during a business dinner.

The Bottom Line

Asil is a Turkish, Lebanese and Moroccan restaurant in Jumeirah Beach Residence, set up for dinners, brunches and celebratory group meals. The menu is built around sharing: reviewers particularly mention the Mixed Grill, Asil mezze platter, grilled octopus, beef shashlik and beyti kebap. Hummus, muhammara and Turkish Kunefe also receive specific praise.

The setting is a major part of the appeal. The terrace looks towards Ain Dubai, the pool and the sea, while indoor dining has a darker, lounge-like feel. Selected evenings and brunches may include a DJ, belly dancing, clarinet or other live acts, and shisha is available.

The atmosphere can be excellent for a night out, but loud music may not suit a business dinner. Book ahead if you want outdoor seating or a place near the stage, and confirm the entertainment directly rather than relying on the website: multiple brunch reviews say advertised acts were missing. Portions can be generous, so pace the starters.

Brunch experiences vary sharply, from lively and well received to nearly empty; one reviewer also found an AED 450-per-person brunch poor value when the promised entertainment was absent. Vegetarian diners may find the choices narrower than the meat selection.
