Taking its name from 1,064°C, the approximate temperature at which gold melts, Ten64 draws inspiration from the district it calls home. As an afternoon exploring the nearby Gold Souk gives way to sunset, the rooftop offers a setting to unwind, catch up with friends and enjoy a different side of Deira.

The food menu sets the scene for leisurely afternoons and evenings, with loaded chicken wings in smoky barbecue, peri-peri or spicy honey glaze, crispy calamari with tartar sauce, and mini sliders filled with barbecue beef, cilantro chicken and crispy chicken. Nachos layered with guacamole, cheese sauce, jalapeños and salsa add to the selection of poolside favourites.

For those settling in a little longer, grilled garlic prawns with Beirut hummus, a beef steak sandwich with melted Emmental and caramelised onions, and Indian platters offer plenty to explore. Vegetarian choices include paneer tikka, samosas and pakoras, alongside vegetable quesadillas and a falafel wrap with tahini and Arabic pickles.

Refreshing flavours continue with Ten64 Iced Tea, a hibiscus blend with lemon, and Watermelon Cooler, combining watermelon, mint and lemon. Tropical Glacier brings together passion fruit, mango, coconut and pineapple for a tropical accompaniment to an afternoon by the pool. To finish, chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream, warm apple pie or cheesecake served with melted chocolate provide a sweet final course.

Whether stopping by after a day in the souks or gathering for an after-work catch-up, guests can make Ten64 part of their own Deira experience. With its rooftop pool and relaxed approach to dining, the venue invites visitors and neighbourhood regulars to stay a little longer as the afternoon turns to evening.
