Live music, bold bites, and cultural soul — Saturdays just got a whole lot more Turkish

 

Here’s how to step into Istanbul without leaving JBR.

When the clock strikes 10pm every Saturday, Asil at Rixos Premium Dubai transforms into a vibrant slice of Turkey — a sultry, sensory escape laced with traditional flavours, live music, and the kind of atmosphere that turns dinner into a memory.

Expect a full cultural immersion when Edin and the Band take the stage with live Turkish melodies that fill the air with nostalgia and rhythm, setting the tone for a night of warmth, celebration and connection.

 

What’s on the menu?

The à la carte menu fuses the best of Turkish, Lebanese, and Moroccan cuisines — and yes, it’s as indulgent as it sounds. Expect highlights like:

Lamb Shish Kebab — tender, spiced, and grilled to perfection

Chicken Tagine — fragrant, comforting, and slow-cooked with love

Fattoush Salad — crisp, citrusy, and bursting with freshness

Pair it all with a pour of traditional Raki and raise your glass the Turkish way.

With opulent interiors, moody lighting, and the unmistakable hum of a great night unfolding, Asil’s Turkish Night hits every note — whether you’re out for a romantic escape or a night of catch-ups that last ‘til late.

Asil, Rixos Premium JBR, Dubai. Saturdays 10pm to late. Minimum spend AED 350. For bookings, call 052 160 0333
