At a glance
Aseel Restaurant (رستوران اصیل) is a Persian and Middle Eastern restaurant and café on the ground floor of Falcon Tower in Riggat Al Buteen, Deira. The kitchen focuses on traditional Iranian food, with cooking carried out from scratch and an emphasis on ingredient quality. For diners travelling from Abu Dhabi, the venue provides a Dubai setting for a meal based on Persian culinary traditions.
The menu is built around the familiar foundations of Persian cuisine: rice, meat and salad. Dishes are complemented by fresh herbs, cheese and yogurt, creating a style of dining that brings several textures and flavours to the table without moving away from traditional ingredients. The restaurant’s approach is rooted in the simplicity of regional cooking rather than elaborate presentation or modern fusion.
Aseel also functions as a café, with shisha available as part of the venue’s offering. This gives the restaurant a flexible character for different types of visits, from a seated meal to a more relaxed café stop. The setting is suited to diners looking for Persian food in Deira, as well as those arranging food for a larger occasion through the catering service.
Dining options include eating at the restaurant, takeaway and delivery. Catering extends the menu beyond the Falcon Tower location, while the dine-in service keeps the focus on freshly prepared Persian and Middle Eastern cooking. The combination of restaurant, café and takeaway formats makes Aseel practical for both planned meals and food collected for home or elsewhere.
The restaurant is located along 4th Street in Riggat Al Buteen, an area of Deira with straightforward access to the Falcon Tower address. The ground-floor location is useful for visitors heading directly to the venue. Aseel suits diners interested in Iranian cuisine, traditional rice-based meals, Middle Eastern flavours, café-style visits and shisha, with a menu structure that includes meat, salad, herbs, cheese and yogurt.
