Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi

I had such a nice experience here ✨. I tried the Dim Sum Rainbow Collection 🥟with a variety of seafood, meat, and chicken — and honestly, the shrimp dim sum was my favorite, so fresh and flavorful 😋 The Sweet & Sour Chicken Soup 🍲 was amazing — rich, flavorful, and comforting — definitely something I’ll always order when I come back 💯 I also tried the Hakka Hand Pulled Noodles 🍜 — they were okay, not the best I’ve had. The Crispy Chicken with Dry Chilli and Almonds 🌶️🥜 was a little spicy and tasty, but more of a classic dish than something truly unique Overall, a beautiful location, great service, and some standout dishes (especially that soup and shrimp dim sum!) 🌟

We went with our daughter and the service was excellent. Our waitress took time to go through the menu and explain options and make recommendations for us. The food was stunningly presented and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend the peking duck amd caviar, a really nice combination. The dim sum were simply beautiful to look at. The alaskan lobster was also beautifully presented and tasted sublime. This restaurant is going to hit your pocket hard, we were £600 for two adults and a two year old (who didnt get her own dishes, except a boiled rice). We had the duck, a couple of starters plus one main each, a glass of champagne and soft drinks. It is a “special night out” type budget, but would highly recommend!

The food is divine, the restaurant is beautiful, and the service is outstanding. Our waitress, Camila, was attentive, warm, and charming. She made us feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. We had the signature menu, and every dish was exceptional. I also love the layout of the restaurant. It feels like a little maze, which makes each section feel private in a cozy and elevated way. We sat on the patio overlooking the Etihad Towers and it was stunning. We were celebrating my birthday and the staff made the evening feel extra special. Valet parking is available, which is convenient. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back!

I had the pleasure of dining at Hakkasan Abu Dhabi during my stay at Emirates Palace, and what made the evening truly unforgettable was the outstanding service. A special thank you to Alina, Camila, and So — their professionalism, warm attitude, and attention to detail elevated the whole experience. They were attentive without being intrusive, always anticipating what I might need, and added a personal touch that made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. The cuisine was excellent — refined flavors, beautiful presentation, and signature dishes that exceeded expectations. But it was the team’s hospitality that made the dinner feel not just luxurious, but personal and memorable. Hakkasan Abu Dhabi is not only about exquisite food and elegant atmosphere, but also about people who make you feel special. Thank you once again to the wonderful staff for such an exceptional evening.

Celebrating my birthday at Hakkasan last night was an absolute delight! The ambiance was truly enchanting, creating a memorable experience for all of us. Imad's impeccable service and attention to detail were commendable. The delicious food, a symphony of flavors, made the evening even more special. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a wonderful dining experience.

Hakkasan remains a forever favorite — consistently delivering exceptional service and outstanding food. Every visit is a culinary experience, with standout dishes like the smoked wagyu beef, mooli puff, mixed nut lettuce wraps, delicate dim sum, sweet and sour chicken, and the iconic black cod. Each dish is beautifully crafted and full of flavor. It’s also surprisingly kid-friendly — little ones are offered coloring kits, making it a great choice for families. I recommend visiting for lunch or early evening when the atmosphere is more relaxed. For added convenience, Hakkasan offers private valet parking and has its own dedicated entrance, as well as direct access through the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Hotel — making the entire experience seamless from start to finish.

The staff at Hakkasan Abu Dhabi were polite and friendly, and the service was fine. However, the food was extremely disappointing — completely tasteless and far below the standards of a luxury restaurant. We couldn’t even finish our dishes because the flavor was so poor. In addition, the DJ and the music were terrible and didn’t match the restaurant’s atmosphere at all, making the experience unpleasant. Overall, although the staff were nice, the food and ambiance were very disappointing. Definitely not worth the price or the reputation.

I always enjoy dinner at Zuma! The food is consistently delicious, and I’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re after a lively dinner with music or drinks and dancing at the bar, the vibe is spot on. The menu is packed with great options, the staff are attentive, and the DJ keeps the energy up—especially later in the night.

First time visiting Zuma Abu Dhabi and also my first time trying sushi. The vibes are amazing and the atmosphere really stands out. Make sure to book in advance, especially on weekends. We sushi, Wagyu beef, calamari and dessert. Everything tasted great, especially the Wagyu and calamari. Prices are on the higher side ($$$$), but you’re paying for quality, service and a premium dining experience. Worth trying for a special night out.

Good Food Good service Unfortunately we were al there in the after noon , for quick lunch with reservation. . Atmosphere very loud at lunch time . A lot of office people there to get the lunch discount, Sort of a continuous showing off arena . Not calm at all , speak loud :) and about yakht :) etc . I was with my daughter , 2 guys talking about yakht and like show off competition between each other . So we moved & had peace. A lot of like buisness lunch meetings ! With free food from the company bosses . They had to wait to order their food cause the bosss was still talking for an hour . Anyway we enjoyed Service was absolutely good Head chef was at home they said

Visited Zuma twice and I can now tell it is one of my favorite restaurant in Abu dhabi! Love the atmosphere which blend modernity and Japanese touches. The food is excellent, I highly recommend the seared salmon (small portions, can be shared if you order more dishes), the chawan mushi dessert (mousse and crème with bits of fresh exotic fruits) and as a mocktail the bincho gilet (Instagram worthy drink). Also the staff was very welcoming and attentive to our needs. A big thanks to Matias who was our server and was "aux petit soins". Hope to visit again very soon ✨

Zuma Abu Dhabi exudes contemporary elegance, blending a vibrant ambiance with refined Japanese cuisine. Each dish is artfully crafted, offering a perfect harmony of flavor and presentation. The service is polished and attentive, making every visit feel effortlessly sophisticated and memorable

Ok this was hard, the place is beautiful situated next to adgm. The views are lovely at night and booking a a must. Totally the sort of place you would go for a business lunch or night out with your partner. My experience this time could have been better. Bear in mind this is against the price point they have set. The dishes that I felt were worth it was the fried tofu and the lobster maki. Probably the curse of being a Google reviewer I was probably a littke of all the other food presented from the seasoning to depth of flavour. Would probably give them another go. I hear the lunch menu is good

I have been dining at Zuma Abu Dhabi for over 11 years, and I have never experienced something this alarming. Today, I found a strange soft, purplish object in my salad much larger than what was later shown to me and it was breaking apart when touched. The moment I saw it, I felt immediate stomach discomfort and a strong urge to vomit. For a fine dining restaurant of this level, this is extremely unacceptable. The team told me they would “investigate,” but this should not happen in a place known for hosting high-profile guests and operating in a country with strict health and safety standards. I am truly disappointed, and I hope the management takes this matter seriously. This experience was shocking and far from what I expect from Zuma.

I expected an amazing food and impeccable service, as you should from one of the best restaurants of the city. However it was rather a disappointment. Sweet and sour pork was very hard and cold, pork ribs got cold fast (we sat outside) and taste - hard and dry and smoked, was really far from what you’d expect. Dim sums were big, which was good, but taste wise they failed to impress. Beijing duck (whole) was served in a strange way, so you wouldn’t recognize it, and pancakes were strange and folded for some reason A how did they expect them to be unfolded with chopsticks? Crushed cucumbers were in unexpected red sauce, which was not going well with well known dish and garlic, I afraid. But aubergines were very good. Service was good, but time from time we couldn’t see waiters and they should have definitely pay more attention on how to place a lot of plates on the smallish table. But general service level was very well. So not amazing experience at all.

The dim sum is freshly made and full of flavor. The Peking duck was rich and flavorful, with perfectly crispy skin and tender, juicy mea! I loved it. Each bite had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Dai Poi Dong stands out with its warm atmosphere and top-notch service. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel truly welcome. The Honey Rib Pork is a must try perfectly cooked, slightly crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a deliciously balanced flavor. They also offer a great selection of sake, which I highly recommend exploring if you’re a fan. Overall, a place with great food, kind people, and a cozy vibe. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing food, we had the whole duck which comes with soup and a lettuce wrap, more than enough for two! Cooking smell strong inside the restaurant.

Enjoyed the business lunch along with half a duck. Food is amazing here. Andry was attentive to my husband and I, ensuring that the food was served orderly. Very pleasant experience.

One of the best brunch on town, delicious food and nice selection of drinks. Special thanks to Saw and Jennie, such a wonderful service!

Came here for a business lunch with a colleague. The food is really amazing. Waitresses are knowledgable and friendly. Service did get a bit slow after appetizers came out. Our main dish was slow to come out. However, everything was still good. Will most definitely be back.

The food here was amazing, we finished everything and left satisfied and I highly recommend plate sharing since there are so many great menu items. The only con was our food took forever and our server kept forgetting what we ordered and so we had one dish missing which was a bit annoying. Other than that, I like this place a lot and a great option if you’re into sea view dining.

Fantastic location and evening out here. Excellent service all round, and the menu was straightforward and not overly complicated. The food… superb - with perfect, and generous main course portions for sharing too. Worth a visit when staying at the hotel or for a special event if you’re in AD.

Outstanding pan Asian restaurant with very generous portion size with sublime flavours served with a smile at an eclectic setting by the Persian Gulf at St Regis Restaurant!! A special shout out to Adit!!!

A very nice restaurant with terrace for a romantic dinner. The food was tasty, especially the Green Curry and the duck pancakes. The Tom Yum soup was unfortunately of no taste and too watery. The staff was very friendly but not so attentive- for example they cleaned 2 plates out of 4 from our table and for the other 2 we had to ask to be taken away after waiting for 15 minutes.

We had our desserts at Sontaya. We love the atmosphere here. Its cozy and warm. It has a nice interior and the outdoor. It is surrounded with water which makes the place cool.

Such an amazing place for a night out and if you are in the mood for a different experience. The ambience and place just take you to an exotic place, calm and just away from the busy city. We were welcomed with a smile and guided to our table. The staff is very professional and friendly. Adit helped us during our dining experience and he was super helpful. He even recommended the dessert once we asked about his suggestion. We ordered a variety of dishes and all of them were mouthwatering and very well done. The taste is super fresh and presentation is great. We ordered tuna tartar, seafood dumpling, beef satay, duck rolls and for the main we ordered salmon and tenderloin steak It is a must visit place. Add it to your list☺️

Had a beautiful dinner here with my wife — the atmosphere felt magical and the food was full of flavor. The setting by the water made the night feel special. A perfect place for a romantic evening.

Nice and relaxing view overlooking the sea. Okonomiyaki we ordered is nothing near the actual one. It’s more like a flat pancake with toppings. Other food was good, but didn’t wow us.

This one of my favourite spots in Abu Dhabi. Especially winter time. The vibes amazing, make sure to be there on weekend after 5pm they have live jazz DJ. Shout out to Nader for his extraordinary service. Was there for more than 5 hours. Enjoying the beautify sea, weather, food and drinks and for sure the music. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a fantastic experience at Buddha-Bar, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. The atmosphere was truly special – stylish, relaxing, and vibrant at the same time. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the music – the DJ played an amazing selection of modern tracks that perfectly matched the mood. Everything was just on point. Highly recommend!

Buddha-Bar Beach on Saadiyat Island is just stunning, especially as the sun starts to go down. The beachfront location is perfect, and the whole place has such a chic, relaxed vibe. The food was amazing but for me, the real highlight was enjoying that beautiful sunset with the fantastic music. DJ Elena really knows how to set the mood. If you're in Abu Dhabi, you have to experience a sunset here.

Good evening. I love your hotel. This is my fourth stay there. I'm sitting at the Buddha Bar today, and I can't figure out why the Latin American music keeps blasting all evening. Fire the DJ's girlfriend!!!

The ambiance of the Buddha Bar by the beach was very nice, with a great service. The drinks were really good and some quite innovative. The down side was mainly the food, it was very average.

This place has always been an example of great service and my favorite spot. I used to bring all my guests here and recommended it to everyone. But today I am truly shocked by the service. I came as a walk-in guest, alone. No one greeted me at the reception, and I had to wait. After some time, a supervisor or manager rushed out, told me to wait, and then simply gestured for me to follow him. I felt like I was at a bus station. Despite many free tables, I was seated in a corner. When I placed my order, they didn’t even bring napkins. I tried to get the waiter’s attention to repeat my order, but he completely ignored me. I am extremely disappointed by today’s visit.

I had a wonderful experience at Talea . The restaurant is truly elegant, with a luxurious ambiance that’s perfect for couples. The food was delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. Everything from the decor to the presentation of the dishes was top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined dining experience!

I had the pleasure of celebrating a very special birthday at Talea by Antonio in Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was elegant and inviting, perfectly setting the stage for a memorable evening. The food was an absolute masterpiece — each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It’s clear that every ingredient is chosen with care and every plate is crafted with passion. The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration extra special, offering impeccable service that was both attentive and warm. A heartfelt thank you to the team for creating an unforgettable experience. Talea by Antonio is not just a restaurant, it’s a celebration of culinary artistry and genuine hospitality. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to mark a special occasion in Abu Dhabi!

We had the most wonderful experience at TALEA! We visited twice during our 6 night stay, early September. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely incredible. The drinks were just as impressive. A special thank you to Fabienne and the TALEA team for their outstanding service. Attentive, friendly, and professional, they truly made us feel at home and elevated the whole dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional Italian cuisine paired with top-notch service, and a must try Tiramisu.

Walking into Talea was like walking into a Tuscan dream. With regional classics executed to literal perfection, Talea stands out for its authenticity, depth of flavor and the kind of service that makes you feel like you’re back at home. The food, I have no absolute words. Every bite was like a recipe from Nona’s cookbook coming to life. Each bite of this incredible, divine food, didn’t just melt in my mouth, it told me a story of love and then disappeared with grace. We ordered: Tartare Di Spigola, Gnocchi Di Zucca, Fettuccine, Rombo, Burratta and Tiramisu. Every dish was a dance of art and story of a Tuscan paradise and it left me speechless. The sourdough of the Tartufo pizza was lighter than air itself and it made me crave more. It wasn’t cooking but a painting, expect the paint was made from truffle, Italian olive oil and delicious cheese. The gnocchi was so so unique and mouthwatering that it’ll make you crave for more. I am personally a huge fan of tartar and this place, no doubt, makes the best tartar ever that it took me back to the early days of my childhood. The tiramisu is to die for and they even made it right in front of us. No one can do tiramisu better than this beautiful Italian restaurant. I’d fight someone for that last bite of tiramisu and I’d lose with honor. Some meals feed your tummy, this one fed nostalgia. All the flavors fit so well that I felt they were singing in harmony. It was like having a little dance in a plate or a piece of home. Don’t even get me started on how amazing the atmosphere was. The place is beautiful and there was even a live singer. Our lovely servers, Roshan and Davide , made us feel like we were being welcomed into a family; warm, familiar and eager to feed you until you surrender! The service and food were served with a soul and not just a smile because they don’t serve guests but memories that made me feel like I was right back home. The staff was so professional that it anticipated needs that I didn’t know I had until they gave them. The whole thing experience was just an edible escape to Italy, no passport required. I do recommend this place and I think this is THE Italy restaurant of the UAE. Want authentic Italian food? This is the right place to go! Thank you to all the lovely people here and my generous compliments to the chef because he definitely has magic hands to create such amazing, tasty, loving food filled with life and soul in each bite. Thank you again ! 🫶🏻

Came here to celebrate birthday , very disappointed from service , very rude and unnecessary comments from waiters, especially how he can ask from birthday person why she is paying and etc.comments about taking pictures like “oh you are making a big shooting “‘ , why would someone from staff interfere in personal stuff?! had problems with flower transportation as no one from staff couldn’t bring it to reception. Big difference from when you come here with girl group and with spouse .

The service was excellent, and the decor was fitting for its location in the Emirates Palace hotel. The food, however, was inconsistent—some dishes were excellent, others just okay, and a few had questionable flavors. Would I return? Yes, I would, particularly to try the pizza and steak again.

My husband and I had an amazing experience this weekend at Talea. Ambience is really beautiful, refined and perfect for a good conversation. Service was 7 stars, with everyone at the restaurant making you feel welcomed and special. Best Italian food we’ve tried, from the perfectly cooked pizza, you can feel the best ingredients are used, to the pasta with sea urchin which had the perfect balance and taste and the tiramisu, cooked at the moment to keep the freshness of all ingredients . My husband has Italian roots and loves cooking at home ; going to Talea was taking you back to Italy but with such a special taste and high quality ingredients that is difficult to get at home or at any other “typical” italian restaurant Definitely highly recommended to try the food and experience

Fishmarket brings back so many childhood memories and all the family lunches we used to enjoy there. I hadn’t been in years, but on my recent visit, I was so happy to see that the quality of the food hasn’t changed. I love the whole experience—from selecting your own fresh fish and vegetables to choosing the side dishes, all beautifully laid out. The outdoor seating is stunning, with a lovely view overlooking the sea. Service was excellent and the staff were warm and welcoming. Truly happy to be back!

Absolutely loved this place ! The food was bursting with flavor, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere had just the right vibe—chic, cozy, and welcoming. A perfect spot for a memorable night out. Highly recommend!

Excellent, tasty, and freshly prepared seafood dishes. Professional staff and friendly service

Amazing seafood! 🐟 Everything was fresh and full of flavor 😋. The service was excellent – friendly and attentive. Chef Sawai was fantastic 👨‍🍳 – he personally came to talk to us and made us feel very welcome. The seaside view 🌊 made it even more special. Highly recommended if you’re looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere!

Very fresh Seafood 🦞 Only you have to choose the right sauce and the way of cooking

I was so disappointed because the food wasnt cooked well we had stomachache after eating and the food was below average, its thai restaurant so dont expect that the food will be seasoned like Arabic food, the fish was grilled with no seasoning at all no black pepper no salt :/

We visited for dinner and had an incredible experience! We ordered the tummy yum soup, fried calamari(which was unfortunately not crispy), garlic-infused mussels, and a beautifully grilled sea bass. We also enjoyed shrimp noodles and fried Hamour fish, prepared Thai-style by the chef himself. Every dish was outstanding, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked – one of the rare times I’ve been completely satisfied with a seafood meal. Thank you, Fish Market, for a memorable dining experience!

Butcher & Still is one of the finest restaurants in Abu Dhabi. They serve top-quality food and the best cuts of meat. The staff is very friendly, service is quick, and they pay attention to every detail. This is not my first time here, and I always love choosing this place for my birthday or any special occasion because it never fails to give me a memorable experience. 👌🏼

We ordered soups, shared plate of various steak cuts and finally the famous tower for dessert. To say everything was super tasty is an understatement. Our server, Gaurab, did an amazing job at making us feel welcome. Service was quick and even without reservation we got the best seats available. Surely one of the best places in Abu Dhabi. Bring good mood and empty belly here.

An unforgettable experience at Butcher & Still, Four Seasons Abu Dhabi! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of being invited by the amazing Chef Marshall to enjoy lunch at Butcher & Still, and it was truly an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The food was beyond incredible — every dish was crafted with such skill, flavor, and attention to detail that it turned lunch into a true culinary journey. A special shoutout to Jigger, the bartender, who is nothing short of brilliant! His creativity and passion shine through in every cocktail he makes — each one was perfectly balanced and full of character. Thank you, Chef Marshall and Jigger, for making this experience so special. The hospitality, the atmosphere, and the flavors were all unforgettable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a top level dining experience in Abu Dhabi!

🔹 The Best Dining Experience in the UAE – Butcher & Still From the moment we walked in, we knew this would be a special night. We started with the appetizers: the bone marrow and the crêpe tart, and honestly, they were some of the most delightful appetizers we’ve ever had — especially the crêpe tart, which was absolutely unforgettable. For the main course, we had the Ribeye and the Strip Loin, and both were cooked to perfection. Every bite was pure joy. The ambiance is outstanding. The hostess at the reception instantly made us feel welcome and even happier as she helped us choose our table. The service staff treat you like old friends — warm, genuine, and attentive. The music was just right, and the crowd was classy. And the view of the sea? Simply breathtaking. We’ve visited many top restaurants in the U.S., Europe, and Egypt — but this one truly stole our hearts. Without a doubt, the best spot in the UAE, not just Abu Dhabi.

A nice bar if you want to have a drink or meet friends. The food is great, especially if you’d like to try something new. The service is excellent, and the staff are very attentive. The location is inside the Four Seasons Hotel

This restaurant is located at the Four Seasons. The staff from the hotel highly recommend it and they were not wrong. From the moment that we arrive until the moment that we left, we felt that staff at the restaurant was always trying to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. Our waiter also showed us the entire restaurant as well as the wine cellar. We came here for my wife’s birthday and they made sure that she had the best time of her life. They had a private room with a nAl Capone inspired theme with vibes from Chicago and it was fun to walk around and see it. I am a steak guy and I am sometimes can be too demanding with a steak but the guys here really have something special going on. I had the porterhouse and it was just perfect. The quality of the meat was great. We also tried the Carpaccio and it was ok. For dessert we try the crème brûlée and it was delicious. Our sides were mashed potato and creamed spinach and they were also OK. There are several options for wines and steaks and I highly recommend getting the porterhouse. The service here was fantastic and we really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks to the entire staff of this restaurant for making our dinner memorable.

First time to Butcher & Still. Great service, staffs are attentive and welcoming. Nice ambience except for the slightly loud music. Nevertheless, got used to it after a while. Food is good, huge portions and the steaks are well cooked. I especially liked the Baked Brie Cheese as it goes really well with the fresh berries and honey! What a pleasant surprise! 🥳 Wanted to try the dessert but was too full. Definitely will be back next time to try out the dessert! “Next time, Baby.. Next time!” 🍨 🍰

My friend invited me to try this restaurant for the 1st time and we went there for breakfast. The place is nice, bright and I thanks for the free 2 hour parking. The food was amazing, delicious and well presented. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive staffs. The only downside is that the prices are on the higher side. Overall, a great experience if you don’t mind spending a bit more. ☺️

I loved the food! We ordered the eggs royale which was delicious and the creamy avocado on toast. Out of all the staff, Anna was the best; she was so kind, friendly and helful! Thanks Anna for making our experience at the restaurant lovely.

I had a wonderful experience at Tashas Al Bateen. The gluten free pasta was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the salads were fresh, colorful, and delicious. 😋 Their drinks were refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The overall quality of the food and presentation was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Great place for a chilled dinner. Tashas is a brand from SA and renowned for high quality fresh produce. Abu Dhabi' outlet is no different. We ate paella, halloumi and breads. Fresh taste. Served quickly in a very nice atmosphere with attentive and clearly very hard working staff.

I love the vibes at tashas Al Bateen. Their breakfast is excellent, especially the avocado toast and the French toast, which were really delicious. It’s better to come early in the morning, as the place gets full quickly.

Love the food Love the atmosphere and vibes. The staff are very nice and friendly They listen very carefully to the customers requests One of the best spots in Abu Dhabi. Their chicken prego is absolutely amazing with mashed potatoes. The texas salad is good as well .

Excellent food and service , very nice location by the water , price $$$$ Chance of coming back : yes for sure

I visited LPM bar on a Tuesday night, and the bartender was incredibly genuine and welcoming, Mr Frederick. He offered me drinks that perfectly matched my preferences, and I highly recommend him and the team! On chilly nights, it's a great spot to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the place. The flowers in the center were stunning, adding an artistic touch to the interior. Later, he even offered me a coffee liqueur shot!

Elegant vibes, flawless French-Mediterranean flavors, and service that makes you feel truly taken care of. The yellowtail carpaccio was fresh and delicate, perfectly balanced with citrus notes. The shrimp in olive oil was light yet rich. The rigatoni with truffle and mushrooms was indulgent and comforting — creamy, earthy, and beautifully presented. And the beef carpaccio was a standout, thinly sliced and seasoned just right, a perfect classic done to perfection.

We celebrated our wedding lunch at LPM, and it was overall a lovely experience. The ambiance was beautiful and the food was exceptional. We ordered a three-course meal with champagne, including duck, escargot, salmon ceviche, steak, and salads, all perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only downside was that the service was quite slow, and the dishes for our guests were served one by one rather than together, so we couldn’t all enjoy our meal at the same time. The team kindly offered dessert once they realized the delay, which we appreciated. While the service didn’t fully meet LPM’s usual high standards, we still truly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

I go to LPM when I don’t want to worry about quality of food, service and ambiance. I walked-in with no reservations and was welcomed by the team like a long lost relative. Quickly got seated and presented with the menus. Past experience told me that most anything I order, should be a great choice so I went for their daily lunch specials. How can you go wrong? We had an amazing meal and superb service like you expect from LPM.

It was an unforgettable day and the staff were the best, especially Yahya, he took care of every detail, was always smiling and served us with his full energy that filled the place with positivity. The food was excellent and I left the dessert choice to Yahya and it was the best decision, everything was delicious and 5 stars! I will definitely come again!

Had a really lovely dinner at LPM! Big thanks to Ayman for going out of his way to find us a great table, it really made our night. And shoutout to Pailin for her amazing service and recommendation ! She was super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great vibes, and such a welcoming team. Definitely coming back!

Exceptional service from start to finish. jose was attentive, friendly, and highly professional. He anticipated our needs without being intrusive and made excellent recommendations. His timing, presentation, and hospitality elevated the entire dining experience. Truly one of the best service experiences I’ve had at LPM.

They have a good selection of Lebanese cuisine to choose from. The food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The Mix Grill platter was brilliant - the meats were well seasoned and cooked. Make sure you save room for desserts. Finally, we made to feel welcomed from the time we walked in till the time we left. The owners were constantly ensuring that the service quality was being maintained.

What a magical experience! The food created a welcomed nostalgia with an elevated twist! The flavors were unbelievable! The service was exceptional! Majd, our server guided me through the menu with pride and he made me feel right at home! Thank you Beirut Sur Mer .. I just wish Seattle was a little closer! I would be eating here on a weekly basis;)

Beirut Sur Mer An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was of outstanding quality—beautifully presented, rich in flavor, and skillfully prepared. Service was equally impressive. The staff were professional, attentive, and well-informed about the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our experience. Dishes were served promptly and efficiently, contributing to a seamless and enjoyable evening. The total bill was AED 1,400 for seven guests, averaging AED 200 per person. While on the higher end, the pricing reflects the restaurant’s premium setting, quality ingredients, and elevated service. Highly recommended for those seeking upscale Lebanese cuisine in a refined atmosphere. Thanks Nader and Beirut Sur Mer Team Hussain 🇰🇼

Was amazing experience food was amazing service was great staff (Samer) was so friendly a helpful i highly recommend all to try it and experience the Arabic and Lebanese tast ❤️❤️

We had a splendid experience at Beirut Sur Mer. The food was amazing, and the hospitality of the staff especially Mr. Rami was top-notch. They made my wife's birthday feel truly special with their exceptional service.

This restaurant needs serious management review. This is my fourth visit, and every single time the place is completely empty, yet they refuse to let me sit at certain tables because they’re “reserved.” The strange part? Those same tables remain empty from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave. I even told them in advance exactly what would happen, you’ll tell me it’s reserved, I’ll order, eat, and leave, and it will still be empty. Yet they still refused, in a completely empty restaurant. It’s incredibly poor hospitality and makes absolutely no sense. Whoever is in charge of this policy needs to reconsider how they treat customers, because this kind of experience pushes people away. Their food is good, but with this kind of attitude, it’s hard to even enjoy it.

We recently visited Sur Mer at Saadiyat Beach, and overall we had a wonderful experience. The mezze dishes were absolutely fantastic – we were two adults and two children, and ordered around 7–8 mezze along with two grilled dishes. The service was excellent: attentive, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The atmosphere was lovely as well, with soft background music, outdoor seating, and a beautiful view. The only downside, similar to several other grill restaurants, was the taste of the meat. It had a particular smell and flavor that is difficult to describe, and even friends who recommended the restaurant had warned us about this. We still wanted to try it ourselves, and unfortunately the meat did not meet our expectations. We will definitely return, but next time we’ll stick to the chicken and the delicious mezze, which were truly outstanding.

Food was great however missed the authentic Emirati flavor. Surprised few Emirati food was missing from the menu. Location is awesome to enjoy a coffee and chill out with freinds or colleagues.

We went several of times here, the food is good. We preferred the breakfast over the other meals. The only thing is that whenever we go there, we go in a time if brunch and the staff always get pissed when we order breakfast (not sure why). The other day we went and ordered breakfast, it didn’t seem to be freshly made, the eggs were dry.. and the fave bean were not as good as always.. the bread seemed to be soggy. The staff are polite but not as much friendly and it seems like they like to serve certain people and ignore others. Anyhow it’s a bit expensive.. but the atmosphere is really nice. It is a really really good emirati restaurant but it needs to be taken care of.

Food was nice and staff very friendly. Located within a residential complex and not too far from where we were staying on Yas Island. Our first time trying Emirati cuisine and it was nice. Chicken and lamb was tender and rice was flavourful. Liked the setting of the place with an open concept kitchen and decorated with a retro feel mix with tradition.

Authentic emarati restaurant with beautiful interior design and atmosphere. The service was excellent and food tasty. Prices are reasonable.

08/11/2024 Amazing place, definitely recommend. You finally feel like you are in a more traditional environment. We got there for a very early lunch around 12 pm so it wasn't crowded yet. All the food was delicious, especially the traditional salounat lamb dish. Will be one of my favorite memories of visiting Abu Dhabi.

Went for a family lunch on a weekend; lovely set up with quirky touches of days gone by, adding to the interest. Attentive staff who provide rough and ready service, but do so pleasantly and in a sense, it’s in keeping with the theme. The food was delicious, we had a mixture of seafood, chicken and salads with soup and a couple of side dishes. Portions are generous and well cooked. The restaurant isn’t huge which adds to the ambiance and makes it homely. I didn’t appreciate A/C maintenance going on during the meal for hygiene reasons but perhaps it was an emergency. It also became rather crowded with delivery men so home delivery is obviously popular. All in all, a great meal in a pleasant atmosphere, would definitely return though I’d check if they’re doing maintenance next time!

I went their today, 9th of augest 2025, for lunch. I ordered so many dishes. Most of them matched my taste. Makboos lamb was my fav. Also, i liked rigag with laban. Their green mango salad was also interesting. Price is reasonable(aed 300 for two) and area also nice. What i did not like is that their chairs are not very comfy.

Not impressed really. We had a lunch and a dinner here and both were average at best. Not worthy of michelin by any stretch. The lunch was huge portions of average/low quality food. Calamari was burnt to point it was simply crunch that was being eaten, lamb ragu pasta was over poweringly strong lamb taste and off puttingly large portion. The veal mialness was ok at best, but very greasy. The burrata salad was good, but not fantastic. We accepted that the lunch might not be a strong point so tried again for dinner a couple of nights later. We ordered steaks, the order was read back to us and confirmed. They brought out a the first steak, which was supposed to be med/rare rib eye…it was blue at best. We asked for thisnto be returned and cooked as requested…the second steak still had not come. When it did arrive it was supposed to be a rare fillet, it was well done. The first steak the reappeared ten mins later and was put on table with the waiter saying “i hope this now meets your expectations” in a very condescending manner. Not somewhere i would recommend, lacks atmosphere or ambience; service from certain staff sub par, poorly organised kitchen service and basically not very good food.

Absolutely beautiful venue with great food and outstanding service. We had a few entrées, two mains, and some dessert. Everything was delicious! Thank you so much to Vivian, and to all the staff for being so attentive and welcoming, it truly made the experience much more memorable and enjoyable. The ambiance is quite romantic, making it a perfect place for an intimate dinner with your loved one or a lovely outing with a few friends. There is also complimentary valet parking and a beautiful outdoor area. It’s a bit too hot for the summer days, but I’m sure during the rest of the year it would be lovely to sit outside. Highly recommend!

I dined at Villa Toscana overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance is charming and elegant, giving off authentic Italian vibes. The burrata was a definite highlight—fresh, creamy, and paired beautifully with the accompaniments. It’s a must-try for anyone visiting. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster pasta dish (pictured). While it looked impressive in presentation, the flavors didn’t quite come together as expected. I’d rate this particular dish a 6/10. That being said, the service was attentive, and there are plenty of other authentic dishes on the menu that make Villa Toscana worth visiting.

A Truly Delightful Dining Experience” We were recommended this restaurant during our stay at St. Regis – and it absolutely lived up to the praise! As a family with varied dietary preferences – vegetarians, a vegan, and gluten-free – we were pleasantly surprised by the number of options available. We began with a beautifully refreshing lime drink, perfectly crafted by the bartender. The chef then delighted us with a complimentary Panzanella salad, accompanied by a wonderful selection of freshly baked breads and marinated olives – such a thoughtful gesture. For our mains, we had a cheese-free vegetarian pizza, Spaghetti Pomodoro, gluten-free gnocchi, and a side of grilled vegetables. Every dish was outstanding – bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Not a single note out of place! The service was impeccable – attentive yet never intrusive – adding to the overall charm of the evening. All in all, a truly memorable experience. We will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional food and hospitality.

I was shocking not impressed with this restaurant, their menu, or their food. I had Chilean sea bass and it was on a horrible yellow and orange sauce that ruined the taste of the fish. My husband had a pepper risotto that wasn’t good either. I know they won a lot of awards, this is why we went. I would look at the menu to see if you like the selection and maybe give it a pass and try another Italian restaurant. Honestly, it was average food NOT Michelin star.

One of the finest Italian restaurants in Abu Dhabi, located in the elegant St. Regis Hotel. The decor is stylish, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the food tasty. The staff are professional and friendly. Highly recommended!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant today. When we arrived, we were told it was fully booked and couldn’t get a table. A few minutes later, another couple came without any reservation, and the staff let them in immediately. When we confronted the hostess her name is Glice, she apologized and said she would try to find us a table — clearly realizing the mistake. Then the manager came and tried to justify it by saying those guests had a reservation, which was not true at all. We were standing right next to them and heard everything. This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and honestly unacceptable. It really ruined my mood, and it’s definitely the last time we visit this place. I also wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone I know — I wouldn’t want them to go through the same embarrassing situation. Truly disappointing.

Wow, the seafood here is outstanding! I was genuinely surprised by how much both the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the service surpassed what I was expecting. My sincere thanks to the entire team, especially the chef, for a memorable meal.

Had the most delicious grilled fish made by the Mauritian chef, I believe it’s his grand mother’s recipe and yummy, it was by far one of the best dishes I’ve had. The sushi was equally good. The staff were really impressive and the ambiance was amazing.

The venue, housed in a "Colonial" style pavilion offers great food in elegant surroundings, with refined musical entertainment on Fri night. ... very enthusiastic cheerful staff. There's indoor sitting or one can be outside in a charming green space facing the water. Two things to bear in mind though. It may not be immediately obvious but the restaurant is not located in the actual St Regis hotel. It may be challenging to call Uber to the right location when it's time to go home after the meal.

Absolutely amazing place with incredibly delicious food, a great view, and very polite and professional staff. I strongly recommend the seafood-all of the menu and the tiramisu-like dessert!

It has a wonderful garden at the seafront, a very stylish and charming ambience, a perfectly delicious menu, a friendly and professional team

Go find another place at Corniche, you will thank me later. Service and food was OK, but the restaurant manager was arrogant as hell. Definitely wanted a sunset spot, but instead was given the most outside spot ever. Only here for a layover of a few hours and wanted to enjoy the famous arabian sunsets, but wasnt given the opportunity, what a fail. For a really great sunset and also good food check out the restaurant right nearby to the left, west something.

The food is not only very tasty but also comes with creativities. I can highly recommend. The service is good. It is also a good idea sitting outside to enjoy the view.

The food was okay overall. I had the fish soup — it tasted fine, but the portion was quite small for me, or at least smaller than I expected. If I compare the price and taste, I’d rate it 6 out of 10. I also tried the grilled baby squid. I liked it — nicely cooked, but I can’t say it was perfect. Let’s say 8 out of 10. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Overall, the experience was good, but a bit pricey for what you get. Thank you, Muhammed.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Al Fanar. After our short but memorable Ferrari World trip, we were hungry. Wanted to try some local delicacies. Al Fanar was just infront. We were hesitating at first but the staff were very welcoming. We quickly got seated and our waiter “Angel” greeted us. He was very courteous and suggested some nice dishes that we ordered. His recommendation of the Mutton Biryani and Arabic coffee were amazing. The Arabic coffee is a must try. It has some complex flavors of cardamom, saffron and coffee. The food was delicious and in huge quantities. We did not have space for desserts. They pour rose water in your palm at end of meal. A pure experience is to enjoy. Glad we stopped for dinner and thank you Angel.

We visited Al Fanar for dinner. The vegetable samosas were absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. However, the Seabass Majboos didn’t have a very distinctive taste and wasn’t really to our liking and so many cold. On the bright side, we want to give a special thanks to Gwarish, who was an excellent and very attentive host, making our experience much more enjoyable.

Traditional Emerati food that tasted very delicious! The atmosphere was really nice. Ahmed was very friendly and even brought my friend a blanket.

Had a wonderful dining experience at Al Fanar Restaurant & Café – Yas Mall! The food was delicious and full of authentic flavors. Special thanks to Typhen for his great service and for recommending so many tasty dishes — every suggestion was spot on! The ambiance was relaxing, and overall it was a great experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Yas Mall.

Service c/o Angel and atmosphere were exceptional. For some reason, or probably I had too much high expectation for the food, the food was just ok. The serving was generous though. Highlight for me was the vegetable dish.

Lovely emirati restaurant close to the entrance of Yas Mall. Loved the mixed grill tray for 2. The seekh and beef were to die for, and the chilli sauce was the best I've had in recent memory. Angel took great care of us when we dined here.

The restaurant is truly wonderful and elegant. The food was absolutely delicious, and I would like to thank the chef for the amazing dishes. Special thanks to Mohammed Danish and Bikram for their warm welcome and outstanding hospitality.

The food tasted amazing - kebab from the mixed grill just melted in the mouth, salmon with the spices - just didn't feel like you were eating fish. The main course of Lobster and Lamb were terrific - the fusion of spices and masala blends were heavenly - if I wasn't sitting at the Punjabi Grill in the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi I would have imagined I was sitting in Mumbai. Food is truly authentic Punjabi / Indian food. The Kulfi had a fusion of tastes that savour the palate - must try to understand. Complements to the Chef, Bar man who made the most interesting fusion of cocktails and finally we received amazing service and really cared for by all the staff especially Afroz whose knowlege on the dishes was amazing. Thank you also for playing my music playlist while we ate - that authenticated the restaurant ambiance and we could tell that the staff also enjoyed the mix / change of music. We sat inside the restaurant is beautifully decorated too. Thank you again to Punjabi Grill for a memorable evening ! Truly amazing !

One of the best fine dining Indian restaurants I have been to. Excellent food and service to top it. Afroz, Basant took great care of us. Chef Bishnoy is just exemplary. Don’t miss this if you are in Abu Dhabi.

Had our family dinner at Punjab grill on my birthday and it was a splendid experience. We were satisfied with the ambience and delicacies. The cocktails and mocktail were superb. There were a vast number of dishes to choose from. The starters and the main course were really good. I was also treated with a complimentary slice of cake for my special day. Special mention to Mr Bikram who served us well 😊

Had a wonderful dinner at Punjab Grill Abu Dhabi. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, but what really stood out was the service. Harbir took such great care of us—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The restaurant is elegant and refined, with beautiful décor and excellent service. The food is delicious, especially the biryani, cheese bread, and meat stew. They offer complimentary treats at the start and end of the meal. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it.

This seriously might be one of the best Indian spots I’ve experienced in Abu Dhabi. From refreshing fruit-flavored cocktails to really delicious food, every moment was pure delight. Plus, the ‘Sips of Summer’ stamp card challenge made it even more fun: collect five stamps and enjoy the sixth drink on the house 🍸🥥🍹 Bonus: drop your full card in the draw for a chance to win a dinner at the end of the month. Highly recommend this gem for an unforgettable dining experience and of-course Sips of Summer. Can’t wait to go back! 💫

The signature udon noodles with XO sauce was very flavorful, and the braised beef noodle soup was more plain. The portion was decent size, and service was great. Would recommend for a convenient meal at the hotel.

Mr. Teh and his team were incredibly efficient, careful and attentive during my visit to the prestigious Shang Palace restaurant. The all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch was an excellent deal, featuring many classics. My favorites were the tender stir-fried beef with fermented beans, mango juice with sago, and the egg tarts. I recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Abu Dhabi and craving some Cantonese food.

Wow!!! Just Wow!!! Love everything about Shang Palace!!! We didn’t expect our experience to be so great!!! Nice and quiet ambiance. We love the food. Staff are so friendly. Natasha the Tea Master is so graceful. We didn’t get the name of the other staff but all of them are very attentive and courteous!!! Overall, we chose the best place to celebrate my birthday lunch! We have tried all of the food in the Yum Cha Menu plus few dim-sum and dessert refills. Great Value for your bucks!!! Recommendations: Siomai, hargaw, steamed bun, shrimp tempura, Sichuan fish, spicy eggplant, all desserts!!! Special shoutout for the birthday cake!!! Thank you so much!!!

Sumptuous experience in Shang Palace. One highlight is being greated personaly by Chef making sure our experience is unforgetable thank you Chef Su, Chef Evans and team. The dimsum selection, chocolate bun and mango was perfect. Likewise to Peasly, Jelyn and Sai. We have great dinning experience.

Our Shang Palace Yum Cha Lunch won’t be as memorable without the excellent and efficient service of the staff and crew. Especially to Ms. Jelyn who was very attentive to all our request. She even went out of her way to make our friends impromptu bridal shower a special one. Kudos to everyone at Shang Palace!

The atmosphere is calm and elegant, creating a world of tranquility. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. A special thanks to Jelyn, who was an excellent host—very professional and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I would visit again and highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine in a refined setting. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really enjoyed our meal at Shang Palace! The food was absolutely delicious, the setting was beautiful, and the customer service was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout. Would definitely come again!

I had the pleasure of dining at Li Beirut, a Michelin-rated Lebanese restaurant that is proudly featured in the Michelin 2025 Guide for Abu Dhabi. Located in the luxurious Hilton Conrad at the Etihad Towers, this gem combines world-class dining with an unforgettable atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting ambiance. The soft lighting, the decor, and the soft music created a perfect backdrop for an authentic dining experience. A special shout-out to Ibrahim, who took care of us throughout the evening. His service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He made great recommendations from the menu, ensuring we got the best of what the restaurant had to offer. His attention to detail and commitment to making our experience enjoyable did not go unnoticed. The food itself was outstanding. From the creamy hummus to the perfectly grilled kebabs and fresh tabbouleh, every dish was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and the flavors transported me straight to Lebanon. Overall, I highly recommend this Michelin-rated restaurant for anyone craving delicious Lebanese cuisine and exceptional service. Ibrahim's hospitality truly made the evening memorable, and the overall atmosphere was just the cherry on top. With its stunning location and Michelin distinction, it’s a place you won’t want to miss. I can't wait to return!

From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond, demonstrating exceptional care and attention. They thoughtfully prepared a delicious meal tailored precisely to my special dietary requirements. Throughout the entire dinner service, they were attentive and proactive, ensuring every need was met with genuine warmth. The food itself was truly outstanding. Each dish was expertly crafted and bursting with flavour, a testament to the remarkable talent and skill of the chefs. They deserve immense praise for such a memorable culinary experience. Best kunafa I have ever had.

My evening at Li Beirut was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived at the Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers until we reluctantly left, every detail was executed with grace and care. The ambiance is elegant and warm dimmed lighting, tasteful décor, and soft background music set the perfect tone for a sophisticated dinner. The terrace view over the sea added a lovely touch, especially as the sun dipped toward the horizon.  Service was exceptional. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered recommendations without being pushy; the staff were attentive, friendly, and seemed genuinely passionate about the food.  As for cuisine, the Lebanese classics at Li Beirut are elevated to an art form. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented, rich in authentic flavor, and balanced in seasoning. Highlights included the mezzes, the mixed grill deliciously charred and perfectly cooked. We had fruit dish and was fresh and high-quality fresh and decorated in a very nice way. I couldn’t take pictures for all our dishes as I was into the food and forgot to take more pictures, but I just posted what I could take pictures for. For high end restaurant prices lean toward the higher end, the overall experience justifies every dirham. This is a place to go for special occasions, for someone who appreciates fine dining, or simply to treat yourself to something extraordinary. Highly recommended Li Beirut delivers both in taste and experience.

Absolutely outstanding! Ducas at the front desk was very welcoming and had an amazing smile! 😊 The Arabic mixed grill was also outstanding and one of the best I’ve ever had! The ice cream sundae was also very yummy! The service provided by Phinao was spectacular also! Highly recommended!

We visited the restaurant as part of our half-board package at Conrad Abu Dhabi Hotel. Although I can't say, we were surprised with some extraordinary tasting experience, we still quite enjoyed the traditional Lebanese dishes. Everything we tried was delicious. And their presentation was beautiful too.

We had great family dinner in Li Beirut. The food was delicious. Service was great by Ebrahim. Very nice atmosphere with soft music and dimmed lights. Can definitely recommend it.

Fantastic service from Phinao and delicious food! Lovely to sit in the outdoor area and enjoy the view :)

Dinner at Benihana tonight was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we sat down, the service was top-notch, and our chef, Jason, made the experience unforgettable. His skills on the grill were impressive, flipping shrimp tails into his hat, creating fiery onion volcanoes, and cooking everything to perfection. Not only was he entertaining, but his attention to detail with our food was outstanding. The flavors were incredible, the fried rice was perfectly seasoned, and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it a great spot for a celebration or just a night out. Jason’s humor and interaction with our table made the meal even more enjoyable. The entire staff was attentive, ensuring our drinks were always full and we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for delicious food, a show, and an all-around amazing time, Benihana (with Chef Jason!)is the place to go. I will definitely be back!

Had a great stay at Beach Rotana! Mary and Leah were absolutely wonderful—super friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. They really made the whole experience feel special. Big thanks to them for making my trip extra memorable!

Our visit to Benihana Abu Dhabi was an absolute treat! The food was not only delicious but also prepared with incredible skill and flair right in front of us a true dining show. Every ingredient tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was vibrant yet comfortable, making it perfect for both families and couples. The staff were outstanding and friendly, attentive, and full of energy, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a mix of great food, entertainment, and top-class service, Benihana Abu Dhabi is the place to go. Highly recommended — 5 stars!

Benihana is a classic. Great atmosphere and ambiance and amazing food. Our waitress Sasha was very helpful and welcoming. CJ and ED made us the most delicious sushi boat. We always enjoy our time here.

Thanks for making my birthday so special. The fantastic customer service began immediately as we arrived and just kept going!! Michael (our Chef from just outside Tokyo ….. Manila) was amazing! I GM felt guilty eating the fabulous Teppinyaki after the effort he put in to make it!! See you next time!

We had an amazing dining experience with the live cooking it made the evening so unique and memorable! Perfect spot for a special occasion, and the atmosphere was just right. A huge thank you to Chef Ganson for the incredible food and warm hospitality. Highly recommended!

The service and food is amazing. The tepantaki grill by Chef Michael and our hostess Sasha were very friendly. Kids loved the way chef did the tricks. It was fun. Will be coming back again.

One of the best Lebanese restaurants in Abu Dhabi, located in The Galleria Mall. The food was exceptional, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and professional. The atmosphere was charming, with an artist playing live Levantine music A truly enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended!

The staff are amazing. The seating area is vast and comfortable, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal. And speaking of meals, the food is simply amazing. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. However, the smell of the smoke wasn't great at all. لذيذ والخدمة ممتازة. لم يغلقوا منطقة المدخنين بشكل جيد

Almayass Restaurant… Food 👇 The humus and tabouleh were absolutely delicious. We also ordered tikka lamb and shish taouk and they were both cooked perfectly and really yummy. The kebab karaz as well as the batata hara were the best. The arayyis was decent but not as good as the rest. Service is perfect ✔️ Staff are welcoming and well trained ✔️ The restaurant is expensive considering its in side a mall.., we paid 1298 UAE for 9 person which is approximately 144 UAE / 39 USD Highly recommended to visit it. Hussain 🇰🇼

I had the baby boneless chicken and I’m sorry to say it wasn’t great. Very chewy. Lacked any flavour and I really wasn’t a fan of the sauce they put on it (personal preference of course.) Ice cream was nice. Service was good.

Almayass has always been a family favourite! Their dishes are delicious and unique, I just can’t get enough of that amazing cherry flavour. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to add a few new desserts to the menu, as the current selection feels a bit limited. Otherwise, everything is always exceptional and full of flavour!

We had a lovely evening enjoying Lebanese and Armenian food. The service was good and attentive, and the dishes were well-cooked. Definitely worthy of being in the Michelin Guide.

My favorite Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi. I love their cherry kebab, hummus bellahme, batata harra and their fresh bread! I hope they bring back the complementary fruit platter. Anjanette service was exceptional as always!

Memorable birthday celebration. We went to the Oak room to celebrate my birthday. It was truly memorable and nice experience. Food is nice, service remarkable and atmosphere memorable. Team made sure we had warm welcome, tasty dinner with all our preferences and surprise farewell with cake and nice touch: gifting flower and postcard from the restaurant. Separate thank you to Prasa and Mehmet, they took special care of us during dinner . Well done! We will definitely come back!

Last Friday, while visiting Abu Dhabi for an event with my husband, we stumbled upon what I can only describe as an unforgettable fine dining experience. From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was flawless, quiet, calming, and tastefully elegant. The interior design struck the perfect balance between modern sophistication and cozy charm. You instantly feel like you're in for something special. But let’s talk food, because that’s where this place truly shines. Every single dish we tried was bursting with rich, deep flavors, yet never overpowering. The tenderness of the meat, the perfectly seasoned appetizers, and the fresh, vibrant salads all spoke one thing: craftsmanship in the kitchen. It’s rare to find a place where everything, from ambiance to service to food, is so thoughtfully executed. I genuinely wish they had a branch in Dubai because I’m already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for a tasteful, heartwarming dinner with your loved ones in Abu Dhabi… this hidden gem is your go-to. Words don’t do justice to the experience, you simply have to feel it for yourself.

From the moment I walked into The Oak Room, I felt genuinely welcomed. Every member of the team was warm, attentive, and impeccable in their service. A special mention goes to Phyo, whose professionalism and hospitality made the evening truly memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The chef’s recommendation was absolutely spot on — I can honestly say it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. Cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and paired with flawless accompaniments, it was an unforgettable culinary experience. What stood out most was how everyone worked together to create an atmosphere that was both refined and inviting. The level of service, attention to detail, and passion for excellence shone through in every interaction. The Oak Room is a rare gem where outstanding service meets world-class dining. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I will definitely be returning.

Excellent Vibes, Phenomenal Meat, and amazing appetite! For all the steakhouses fans in Abu Dhabi, a Must to Visit The Oak Room. My recommendation would be the River Ribeye and dry aged T-Bone. Highly recommend Guys !

We ate here during our stay at The Edition. Ryan served us and was superb. He helped to make our already wonderful experience even better. The best steak we have ever eaten, paired with a stunning wine. The extras were the icing on the cake. Will never forget this meal ❤️

We had an incredible anniversary at The Oak, the food was amazing, the steaks were delicious! However Phyo & Prasa made our night so special, telling us all the best parts of the hotel and Abu Dhabi keeping us entertained all night. Can’t wait to return, thank you Prada & Phyo for giving us a night to remember!

Cozy steakhouse with wooden interior, dark mood lighting and leather chairs complemented with a subtle old school playlist. Booked a table for my wife's birthday and they made sure to make her feel extra special (creme brulee cake, a special hand written letter and roses). Pa, Ryan and Praveen were very attentive and had great energy and bright smiles while they served the tables. Generous food portions and great drinks. I would definitely recommend!

Stunning food. On a stopover in Abu Dhabi between flights. Friend suggested Coya. Did not disappoint. The set menu was amazing. Had amouse bouche of cucumber and basil. Starters were ceviche and beef tacos. The star of the show was the duck “hot pot” rice. Crispy skin, fall off the bone meat, spectacular risotto-esque rice. Topped off with churros, served with a spoon to scrape up the last bite of chocolate sauce. Just spectacular!

My fiancé said the Peru has the best gastronomy in the world and the closest to that here in Abu Dhabi is Coya and my tummy and taste buds could not agree more. The food, the service, the atmosphere, everything was so magical. Even they made my birthday celebration more special. Definitely worth so much being a Michelin starred restaurant. My fiancé is a Peruvian and he definitely agreed that all the dishes served are curated the Peruvian style.

Excellent service and value for money. Live music brings the energy. Special shout out to Pathum for his perfect pacing on the courses and for the whole team serving with a smile and great energy. Definitely will be back. The Aesop hand soap also a very nice touch!

The place is good, however the view is not great when your only view is a building construction site. The furniture is warm out and the table was rocky. The waiters were very attentive and ensured all items were okay for my wife to eat, as she is carrying a baby. The starters we got the salmon croquettes, wagyu taco, beef gyoza chicken boa buns. The starters were good overall. Furthermore the starters were great however the mains did lack as it did not have anything to compliment, we ordered the wagyu and beef fillet and they only came with the side salad. The dessert was good, however the churros were a bit oily but the chocolate sauce was great. The popsicle was really well made and had the sweetness and the sharpness.

We had an amazing experience at COYA! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. But what truly made our visit special was the outstanding hospitality. Our waiter Eddie was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed throughout the evening. His warm attitude and professionalism really stood out. We’ll definitely be coming back — and it’s safe to say Eddie is a big reason why. Highly recommend!

The best place for raw fish and seafood fans. Excellent set menus with wine pairing, be aware than the sets are overloaded with delicious food and you need to be really prepared to endure this :) tuna, scallop and sea bass crudos are the best. Taco’s I find on the simpler side. For main - definitely take the fish on the rice cooked in a pot -> it is incredible!

We came here to celebrate our wedding dinner and the overall experience was outstanding. From the food, ambiance to the great service provided by Mr Bonny, the best of the best. He truly is the souls of the restaurant.

Had a beautiful dining experience at Alba Terrace. The ambiance was calm and elegant ,perfect for a special evening. Kaan went above and beyond to make the night memorable. I was surprised with a complimentary birthday cake, a refreshing mocktail, and a heartfelt card wishing me a happy birthday ,such a warm and thoughtful gesture! From the service to the flavors, everything was spot on. Highly recommend for celebrations or just a relaxed night out.

We stopped by Alba Terrace at The Edition Hotel Abu Dhabi for a cocktail and were blown away by the hospitality. After mentioning our recent wedding, Pa and Savita surprised us with a beautiful dessert tray and a heartfelt handwritten letter. It was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that made our evening incredibly special. Truly outstanding service that we’ll always remember.

The atmosphere at Alba Terrace was calm and elegant, and all the staff were very kind I highly recommend the pizza and ravioli! both were delicious I visited to celebrate birthday, and the whole team made it such a happy and memorable day celebrating together. The tiramisu and handwritten note made the evening even more perfect Special thanks to Lindo and Eva who took care of our table :) they were so friendly, explaining the wines and recommending dishes, and even sang the birthday song! Thank you for making birthday truly special!!

Had dinner there today and honestly, everything was amazing, the food, the service, the staff, everything! The dishes came out super fast and were so tasty. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Mark the South African guy ❤️❤️ he was super polite and attentive, and his recommendations for dishes and drinks were spot on. He didn’t disappoint at all! I’d trust him with my life 🤣❤️ Can’t wait to come back and bring my family and friends❤️

We went there me and my sister, all the staff were very friendly & really welcoming. The place gave chill and romantic vibes for those who are looking for a quiet and a very fancy place to dine in i would highly recommend also for friends and family definitely. I would like to also thank the waiter his name was Mark I believe! He is a very nice guy. Everything he recommended on the menu for us we tried we loved so much!! He was smiley all the time very friendly and made our experience extra memorable! Thank you Mark we appreciate you! I will definitely go back with my family soon in winter they had a nice outdoor area but we couldnt sit out because the weather isn't the best yet. The food was 10/10 i would highly recommend!

We had an excellent and tasty dinner at Alba Terrace. The staff were very nice and very helpful.

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I specifically like how Eva explained the menu well. Based on how she presented the menu, it was expected that all her suggestions were great. We totally loved all of it. We recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and excellent service! 🌟🍽️

I usually love coming to this place and every visit has always been wonderful with great service. Unfortunately, this time was different. The food and coffee are still delicious, no doubt about that, but the staff seemed upset, didn’t smile, and held the plates uncomfortably close while talking over the food. They looked unhappy and unwelcoming, which really affected the experience. On top of that, the water glass unfortunately smelled like fish, and I couldn’t even drink from it. Sadly, this visit didn’t match my previous great experiences here

Had a wonderful afternoon at Etihad Tower Lounge! The coffee, desserts, and afternoon tea were amazing. Special thanks to Patrick for his exceptional service and kindness he truly made the experience perfect.

I'd like to thank the excellent staff of the lobby lounge for making the Afternoon Tea an exceptional experience. My mother-in-law visited Abu Dhabi in April and we attended the Hepburn Afternoon Tea. I had indicated on my booking that it was a special occasion as it was her first time visiting in Abu Dhabi. The team when above and beyond to ensure the afternoon was a special experience. The "Welcome to Abu Dhabi" chocolate, placed in her tea box, and a "Welcome to Abu Dhabi" cappuccino, hand-delivered by the ENTIRE team who came to welcome her, made the experience absolutely superb! Highly recommend this absolutely stunning high tea experience! ps. My recommendation is to have the tea in the lobby and then head up to the Observation Deck afterwards. I have done tea in the OD before and while it was an amazing view, I found the tourists disruptive to having afternoon tea. The lobby is just exceptional, and the views in the OD can be admired afterwards.

Tried the afternoon tea here. It was quite okay overall. The price is 230 AED per person which feels a bit pricey, and to be honest, the coffee was pretty average.

Great place for a coffee catch up with a nice backdrop. Valet with stamping. The staff member Sangita was attentive and very personable which made the experience lovely. Thank you Sangita

Top-notch service, classy spot, and awesome staff, ‘specially Patrick

The coffee and food were cold ! We asked to heat it two times but still cold. The service is not like before.

We came to this restaurant with high expectations with the pressure of having a Michelin star. Boy did it deliver! The food was fantastic. The various sushi dishes were up to par with any other restaurant Ive been to. Forget the numerous Japanese Peruvian fusion nonsense around the UAE. This place is uniquely fantastic. We were a group of 8 and tried many dishes, from cooked to raw. Service was outstanding, despite how unorganized and chaotic our table was. Highly recommended. The only criticism would be how quiet the restaurant was. Ambience could use a pickup.

I believe I had the best Japanese food in Abu Dhabi. The view of the Abu Dhabi skyline gave the place a fantastic atmosphere. I loved the food it was very tasty. Well done! We were very well looked after the whole evening. It was a 10/10 experience.

I came all the way from my city just to have lunch here, and overall it was a worthwhile experience. Great service, good food, and a nice ambiance. The view could have been better, as the windows were a bit close with curtains. The only downside for me was the 99 Sando (Katsu Sando), the beef was excellent, but the sauce was overwhelming with strong garlic/onion powder notes, I tried away better than this in AD/Dubai. The lobster salad and the sushi was really good and definitely the highlight of the meal.

An unforgettable experience at Sushi 99 in Galleria Mall, Abu Dhabi! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and professionalism. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for an exceptional dining experience. The service was truly outstanding every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. The food was absolutely incredible. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. You can really taste the freshness in every bite from the perfectly sliced sashimi to the creative sushi rolls that were both delicious and visually stunning. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and everything was prepared with such attention to detail. The manager also went out of his way to check on our table and ensure everything was to our satisfaction, which made the experience feel even more personal and special. It’s rare to find a place where great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere all come together so perfectly. Overall, Sushi 99 exceeded all our expectations. It’s easily one of the best sushi restaurants in Abu Dhabi, and I can’t wait to come back again soon. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Japanese cuisine and exceptional service!

I had an amazing dining experience! The service is top-notch—100%! The leg crab was absolutely delicious, and the Ebi and crab sushi were fantastic. The rice was good too, though I'm not sure about the names. Highly recommend this place!

I have been here to celebrate Birthday and Anniversary both. Their business lunch is a must. Finest quality ingredients. Value for money.

Tried trot business lunch omakase. I mean it isn’t bad, but why did they get a Michelin star? Have the judges been to Japan?

Fouquet's Abu Dhabi is located within the Louvre complex. The venue is stylish and impressive in the extreme. The service is cheerful and attentive. I chose to eat lightly - two starter. They were both delicious - the beef carpaccio portion was very generous. I should separately mention the house champagne - it was particularly yummy. ...a memory to treasure.

Overall, a pleasant lunch experience with my mother at Fouquet’s! The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. We chose to sit outside, the area was nicely shaded with a lovely breeze. The food was exquisite. The fresh mini baguette with butter was a delightful start. We ordered one full-course lunch set and one à la carte meal. The octopus appetizer was fresh and flavorful, and I especially enjoyed the touch of fermented onion. The green salad was generous and packed with ingredients - kale, olives, and baby peppers among them. For mains, we had the Omani shrimps and the lamb. We weren’t asked how we preferred the lamb cooked, and it arrived slightly undercooked for our taste, which was a bit disappointing. The shrimp, however, was outstanding - the coconut curry sauce was rich and captivating. Dessert was the cherry on top: a delicious profiterole with ice cream and chocolate sauce, paired with two long espressos. It would have easily been a 5-star experience if not for the first impression. The hostess who seated us made us feel slightly unwelcome - she suggested we go to the other café when we asked to see the à la carte menu instead of the business lunch menu, though we only wanted to compare options. She also initially seated us at a small table close to the sun, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We later moved ourselves to a more comfortable shaded four-seater. The other waiters were very nice and helpful. Despite the rocky start, the food and overall ambiance made for a lovely lunch.

Beautiful interior, attentive staff, and flawless service. The food was absolutely delicious — we ordered 8 different dishes and every single one was outstanding. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. We had a wonderful time and left completely satisfied. Highly recommend this place and a big thank you to the team for making the evening special — they even surprised me with a card!

The experience was good overall. The food was flavourful and perfectly cooked. Danushka was very attentive and did a great job with the flambé. All the other staff were also very friendly and helpful. The paper stuck up on the window was the only detractor.

The food was good but the restaurant is abit warm considering the summer sun at the time we dine in around 4pm. The security screening was unexpected as we began to take photos thinking it was the enterance but it was the security screening area where the security was very unfriendly to greet us. I think you should put someone at the security or put the sign there to warn the customer that security area no photos or camera.

Exceptional experience. I can see how this is a Michelin rated 3x in a row. French nouvelle cuisine at its finest. We had the burger done medium (server medium rare, but that's ok) and lamb leg confit

Went for the Bastille day brunch and we chose the house package (AED 400 per person). We were served everything on the menu (in pic). It was great food, one after the other. Absolutely no complaints at all! The butter from Maison Bordier was an excellent and pleasant surprise :) The standout dishes *if* I had to choose, were: - entrees - carpaccio de boeuf a la fleur de sel, haricot verts amandine, terrine de foie gras de canard avec chutney de figues; - plats principaux - entrecote grillee and rigatoni a ala truffe. -For desserts, the crepe suzette was of course the best way to end the meal! Of course the other desserts were good too, but the crepe outdid them all. The wines in the house package were great too and we tried all 3 - white, rose, and red. Great food and amazing value for money. Highly recommend!

Martabaan truly impressed with its delicious, authentic Indian cuisine. Every dish was a flavor explosion, showcasing the chef's skill and passion. However, the service was a bit inconsistent, with long delays and lack of attentiveness. Despite this, the food alone makes Martabaan worth a visit. Would definitely return for another flavorful experience, hoping for improved service next time.

Martabaan, located in the iconic Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi, offers an exceptional fine dining experience that beautifully blends traditional Indian cuisine with a modern twist. The moment you arrive, you’re immediately impressed by the stunning location. The restaurant boasts breathtaking views of the sea, making it an ideal setting for a romantic dinner or a memorable meal with friends and family. The ambiance is refined yet warm, with elegant décor that complements the grandeur of the hotel while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are highly professional and attentive, providing perfect service throughout the entire evening. One of the standout touches is the traditional attire worn by the waiters, which adds a lovely cultural charm to the overall experience. The food is absolutely delicious—every dish is prepared with top-quality ingredients and a clear attention to detail. From flavorful curries to beautifully presented starters and perfectly cooked meats, the menu offers a rich variety that will please any palate. Each bite reflects the chef’s creativity and passion for modern Indian gastronomy. Martabaan is a restaurant that truly stands out, not just for its food but also for its unique location, elegant atmosphere, and outstanding service. I will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Abu Dhabi.

Dining at Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we entered, the ambiance was refined and welcoming, perfectly blending luxury with a warm, contemporary Indian atmosphere. The food was truly outstanding — each dish beautifully presented and full of rich, authentic flavors with a modern twist. The tasting menu showcased Chef Hemant Oberoi’s creativity and mastery, with every course thoughtfully balanced and memorable. Service was impeccable,attentive without being intrusive, and the staff took great care to explain each dish and ensure a wonderful dining experience. The view overlooking the Arabian Gulf added an extra touch of magic to the evening. Overall, Martabaan is a must-visit for anyone in Abu Dhabi seeking fine Indian cuisine elevated to a world-class level. We left delighted and look forward to returning soon.

We celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. We reserved a table for the evening at the Emirates Palace location, which offers a stunning setting. Upon arriving at the Emirates Palace Hotel, we made our way to the restaurant, where Reena warmly welcomed us and arranged our seating. Pradeep and Sushanth took excellent care of the menu and food service, ensuring we had a delightful dining experience. We enjoyed a variety of starters, main courses, and desserts, along with refreshing cocktails. The ambiance, views, and elegant corridors added to the charm of the evening. We chose to sit outside in the corridor, which enhanced our experience even further. Reena went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met and even made special arrangements for the occasion. Our guests had a great time, and the hospitality provided by Reena and her team was good. This restaurant is truly a fantastic choice for special occasions in Abu Dhabi, offering delicious Indian cuisine and outstanding service. Overall, it was a memorable evening with great food and impeccable hospitality.

Best Indian fine dining in UAE. The food is light and yummy. The service is immaculate and location is just paradise. Love how all waiters and maître d’hôte are so well versed in the cuisine and can give very proper recommendations.

Incredible place. One of the best food experiences that we have ever had. Indian food taken to another level. I really loved the Papad sampler that was given with a Mango achaar Hummus. My wife ordered an Amouse bouche that came with a pumpkin coconut soup, Basundi served in an orange peel, Chole, Naan, Paneer and fish starter. I ordered for a Lamb chop. All of this was seriously amazing. The waiters explain the dish before they serve it to you. We also really loved our drinks. Overall, a great experience.

Had a chance to visit this place on my birthday and the service and hospitality here is absolutely heartwarming. Everyone from the receptionist to the waiter was extremely kind to us and guided us with great care and attention. The food was delicious, with the curries standing out as exceptionally rich and bursting with flavor. We were happy we chose this place and look forward to being here in the future again. Thank you for your hospitality and a great experience.

The food is definitely unique and has that authentic Lebanese flavor — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can tell they put effort into the quality. However, the prices are quite steep for what you get. Great place to try something special, but be ready to pay a premium for it.

Em Sherif never disappoints! I honestly can’t recommend just one dish every single thing on the menu is worth trying and the service is just on another level . In the photo we ordered the hummus creamy, silky, and just amazing. The ras el asfour in pomegranate molasses is an absolute must the meat is so tender, tangy, and sweet all at once. The grilled chicken with garlic dip and fries was crazy good, and the fattoush was fresh and light it had fresh za’atar that made it incredible. And finally, the musakhan as a Palestinian, I fully approve! The sumac was on point, and the flavor was perfect. I’m just in love with this place!

Em Sherif in Abu Dhabi is truly a gem. The venue is absolutely stunning, combining elegance with authentic Levantine charm. From the moment you step in, you’re met with warm hospitality and a beautifully designed space that sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The food was fantastic — rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and true to its Lebanese roots. Every dish felt like a celebration of tradition with a refined twist. Service was smooth and attentive without being intrusive. The staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. And to top it all off, the sea view is breathtaking. Whether you’re going for lunch or dinner, the setting adds something special to the entire experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy high-end Lebanese cuisine in a beautiful and serene setting.

Best beef shawarma and Burger in United Arab Emirates. Before you die you have to try.

Atmosphere is nice with natural lighting and greenary The food is amazing, best Hummus, tabbula, and special Asafeer Teen , A big thank for Wesam for his five star service Nd the whole team are friendly and welcoming.

Very nice location and service and verity of food options ( not mostly sea food like the other branch) • tabbouli •

Food is amazing so good the taste is 👌 and the service is great and fast .. all staff are friendly and care about their customers. Even service managers are caring and friendly I always come back i really recommend this restaurant .

Great food with good value Lamb kebab is really tender and well cooked. Chose the option with briyani rice and they were happy to accommodate Huge portion, suitable for 2-3 pax Red tea with optional mint comes in a pot Michelin Bib Gourmand worthy

Came here because the Lonely Planet guide recommended it for lunch. As a foreigner that hasn't eaten a restaurant meal in this country until now, I was very impressed with everything. Would come back.

From the first step this restaurant impressed me so much with autentic traditional atmosphere and design. Food was soooo good. We have tried hummus, machboos and biryani and loved them all❣️ Highly recommend this place 😍

I tried the famous meat dish and the fish with shrimp, and both were very delicious — full of flavor and really enjoyable. When the dishes are made like the first time I tried them (fresh and not too fatty), they’re honestly amazing and I could eat them every day. However, the main issue is consistency. Sometimes the food is perfect — light, tasty, and well-balanced — and other times it comes out heavier and not at the same level. So overall, the food is good, but it’s not consistent. When they get it right, it’s truly excellent. I still enjoy coming here and I hope the consistency becomes more stable.

We had dinner here two nights in a row because it was simply that good! The food was absolutely delicious, and the place has such an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. My partner and I truly enjoyed every moment — we highly recommend this restaurant!

An amazing dinner once again. Emirati food is delicious. We had the baby shark samosa, the kebab platter and the shrimp and squid cooked emirati style in a tomato based sauce. The breads were tender and moist. The dessert was these fried balls of bread dipped in a date syrup (kind of like honey). They started us off with some complimentary saffron juice that was incredibly refreshing too. The traditional way of eating is using the hands and fingers and that added a special dimension of tactile sensations. Finally the decor was with old pictures of the area all around the restaurant which lends a local perspective. We did not have space to try it - but they also feature Saudi and Kuwaiti dishes on their menu.

The food is delicious, one portion is enough for two people..😅

We had a fantastic time at Cipriani! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and everything was perfect. The food was excellent, especially the chocolate cake—it was absolutely delicious. The Americano was also really good. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back!

Cipriani Dolci is such a nice spot, great vibes and really friendly staff. The apple pie was the star for me, warm, buttery, delicately spiced, and served with the perfect balance of sweetness. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Cipriani Dolci is well worth a stop, especially for that apple pie!

The service was truly amazing and very attentive. The seabass was good, though it only came with tomato sauce which wasn’t really my preference. On the other hand, the risotto and calamari were excellent and definitely worth trying

I've enjoyed a great coffee n cake experience. Next time I'll go for the full meal. The venue is very smart, as one would expect. The staff are most welcoming and efficient - I'm delighted to add the Abu Dhabi location to my Cipriani experience collection.

🌿This Italian coffee spot is such a refreshing imside the mall.Their Spanish latte is perfectly balanced—creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. And the moist chocolate cake is a must-try: rich, soft, and melts in every bite. Together, they make the perfect pairing for a cozy coffee break. Definitely a place worth coming back☘️😊to.

I had the pleasure of being served by a wonderful staff member, whose name I believe is Shima, possibly Moroccan. She was extremely kind and friendly, and her presence added a special touch to the experience at cipriani dolci marina mall ,I was there with my mother and sisters to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and she was very helpful and supportive throughout the celebration. Many thanks to this lovely lady, and I wish her all the best!

I had an amazing experience. The welcoming from Mohamad was very friendly and warm. The service was great from Arbi, although she's a newbie for only 3 months yet she was very friendly, nice and professional. They even made me taste their pistachio ice cream, which is the best and most delicious as a complimentary. I'll be visiting more often for sure.

Food was tasty and high quality. Combination of lots of different middle eastern dishes, including from Iran, Lebanon, Turkey. We had the lamb with cherry sauce and then the lobster and seafood platter, all very yummy. The only reason that we did not rate a 5 is because they did not give any time for us to finish the mezze before the main courses arrived, and there was a discrepancy in the bill (which I did not realize until we left). I would definitely go back here.

Amazing restaurant with super delicious food and service at Emirates palace hotel. Warm welcoming hostess, arabic atmosphere interior. Personally I love their hummus with freshly baked bread and shish tawuk (teste like my father cooks)

This Middle Eastern restaurant is located in the extravagant Emirates Palace hotel and serves Emirati food. The interior is minimalist design contrasting the Gold and flashy entrance of the hotel. I ordered camel tongue and it was delicious. Must try.

Great place with superb service! Nice and relaxing atmosphere! Scallops and wine recommended by Emad were absolutely amazing!

Very nice very good Roja hi to Asa

Wonderfull traditional place! Very good service!

We were treated so well even when ordering only a few small items.Thanks to Haitham Fayad and his superb staff for showing me how to enjoy delicious hummus with olive oil and fresh bread. Superb Fresh coconut drink. I definitely recommend it!!!

A morning at The Terrace on the Corniche is nothing short of a masterclass in refined breakfast dining, where culinary artistry meets impeccable hospitality in the heart of The St. Regis Abu Dhabi. The breakfast selection is exceptionally curated, offering a vast and diverse array of gourmet options designed to cater to an international clientele with discerning tastes. From freshly baked artisanal breads and expertly prepared egg dishes to locally inspired delicacies and health-conscious alternatives, every palate is thoughtfully considered. The attention to variety ensures that whether one prefers a light continental start or a hearty traditional breakfast, the offerings are both abundant and exquisite. Particularly captivating is the display of decadent sweet treats—from delicate viennoiseries to elegantly crafted pastries, each piece is a testament to the pastry team’s skill and commitment to excellence. Presentation is meticulously refined, with an eye for detail that enhances both the visual and gastronomic experience. What truly elevated our visit, however, was the service excellence exemplified by our waitress, Rossie Thandiwe. Her professionalism, warmth, and intuitive attentiveness added a personal dimension to the experience that is rare even among luxury establishments. She anticipated our preferences with effortless grace and ensured that every moment of our breakfast was seamless and enjoyable. Ms. Thandiwe embodies the very spirit of St. Regis hospitality, and we extend our highest commendation for her exceptional service. In essence, breakfast at The Terrace on the Corniche transcends the ordinary—it is a harmonious blend of culinary diversity, elegant presentation, and heartfelt service, making it a definitive highlight of any stay at The St. Regis Abu Dhabi

The food was really great, I made a reservation to celebrate my mum's birthday. I didnt expect that they will also have seat decoration. They gave us also nice drinks.The food was really great and tasty, my mum really enjoyed it and she is very happy. Thank you for the f&b team to make this all possible. I cannot put the names one by one but all the stafgs there are all friendly and they will serve 5 star class! I will definitely come back for the again. Will try the seafood night! all the best! 👌🏽

Loved the food so tasty! The vibe was super charming, and the staff were all so friendly. And omg, their Bloody Mary varieties… absolutely loved them!

We had an experience unlike any other. We came for the Arabic buffet and it was absolutely fantastic. The selection was incredible, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our server, Rossie, made the evening truly special. She had such a warm and humorous way about her that made us smile constantly. We loved her service so much that we came back two days later for the South American buffet. To our amazement, she even remembered what we had been drinking on our first visit! Rossie, we wish you all the very best and hope to see you again soon! Best wishes from your Swiss guests 😉

There is but one brunch in Abu Dhabi that simply blows you away and that is the Project Lunch at the Terrace, St Regis. Absolute no effort has been spared to make it as extravagant and luxurious as one can get. There is everything in abundance, beautifully decorated and tasting delectable. Service is very friendly and efficient. Plenty cooking stations as well. Make sure to leave room for the impressive desserts and hand crafted chocolates. But do not miss it.

First time dining at The Terrace and definitely not the last. Food is great, my friends said the beef was the best. We tried the South American Indulgence buffet. Amazing service from Chathura and Jay. Staff brought a birthday cake and yummy blueberry mocktails (both FoC) and wished my brother happy birthday. We were even offered complimentary coffee and tea. Real topnotch service. Jay even gave us a quick tour of the St. Regis Bar, which we'll definitely try next time. Overall, a pleasant evening for all. Oh and check the Cravings app, we got a great discount too.

Our first Iftar out this Ramadan. It was lovely. The food was delicious. The staff were so helpful, polite and kind. Linda was just lovely and helped us so much. The buffet had variety and the staff are there to fill your plate with whatever you want. The Ramadan drinks were so good. My son really loved the ouzi lamb and rice and especially the ice cream with toppings. Highly recommend.

It was absolutely amazing brunch at Stills! Very welcoming staff, great music, atmosphere! Specially — food! Oysters, seafood, life station and ice cream! Me and my friend were amazed by the quality and quantity! It’s totally worth it to spend your Saturday at this beautiful place! I would like to thank our waiter Betty — she is a super host, to Leah and bartender Iames! We definitely will come back and will recommend this place!😍

Amazing manager and staff. Extremely friendly service and great food, especially if you want an amazing sunset view or watch a football match on the large outdoor screen.

We had Easter brunch today in Stills restaurant . The food was amazing and so tasty . They have sea food in the brunch the shrimps are amazing and so tasty and looks so fresh . They have all kind of appetizers and salads . I like the smoked salmon and the cold cuts . They have Mexican live station as well pizza and also they have barbecue live station . The service was amazing hats down to the team all of them . I apologize I forgot to mention their names except Braj And Mikee.

Very rude staff. You go to sit at a table they will take your ustensils away Went again hoping to get a better treatment. The qr doesn't work so I was waited and waited, after 20 minutes someone showed with a menu. Same strange treatment is not worth more than one star. The beef is poorly cooked.

Great bar to watch games and sporting events. They have a massive screen outside and plenty of seats outside also. Varied menu but it's really missing some pizzas. Calamari not great, burger very good, club sandwich very good, Philly steak sandwich very good. Mocktails are very nice also. Rigatoni was a bit overcooked. Buffalo wings were very nice. Excellent selection of beers but they don't have coke zero, only diet coke. THEY HAVE HAPPY HOUR, 2 FOR 1 ON BEERS! Very good place to relax if staying at the Crowne Plaza.

Had the opportunity to visit the chic and trendy restaurant and bar in town and try the new menu curated by a new brilliant head chef. We tried the recommended shrimps and scallops for appetizers and the classic ribs with mashed potato, the delicious factor was off the charts. We topped the lunch up with macha moose with white chocolate and a raspberry sorbet. Ms. Yasmin and other staffs hosted us with remarkable friendliness. Stills is one of the hip bars and restaurants you would like to visit on a regular basis.

A pretty big, relaxed and retro themed sports bar and restaurant. If you looking for a spot for a drinks they have a plethora of options and world class gourmet food to go with, this is the place for you. Their baby chicken and flat breads are a must try. Happy to see this place is also kids friendly and special cheers to the friendly staffs especially Ms. Yasmin to make our lunch more special.

The BEST breakfast in UAE! I'm very sure that this is thr best breakfast I've had in UAE! The selection of foods is actually magnificent especially the croissants and the pastries which are out of this world. Everytime there are fresh croissants out of the oven, a bell is rung to announce it. I was impressed with the selection of English, Lebanese, Indian and other foods from all over the world, I can't remember the last time I had chicken liver or lamb dishes at a breakfast. However, I'll save the best part for the last, the breakfast goes on until 1pm so it's perfect for all those people who want to take it easy and lie in and not have to wake up early to have breakfast. Service was absolutely amazing and we are looking forward to having a leisurely breakfast tomm morning. Well done team! We are very impressed and so happy to be celebrating a special occasion at the hotel.

An amazing 5 star hotel We booked for one night as we were celebrating our anniversary. We had dinner at Olea restaurant as part of our half board package (seafood night) and honestly the staff and the food were spectacular. I have been to so many restaurants in so many hotels in Dubai and AD but the quality of food and the staff made Olea one of the best restaurants we have been to. The breakfast buffet was wonderful and I loved that they gave us a menu and we can choose what we want from it. We were served by good luck and he was great. Thank you for the amazing stay and we will definitely come back in the future.

Tons of restaurants nail Ramadan iftars, but Olea’s iftar selection is on another level. They’ve got a bunch of stations loaded with killer dishes from all over the globe. I’m not throwing out ratings as usual as this is simply the best iftar I’ve hit up in Abu Dhabi (not stacking it against Emirates Palace, though). Took a few pics, but they don’t come close to showing off the full spread of their Ramadan buffet.

This must be the best hotel breakfast in the UAE. The quality of food and the selection is outstanding. In particular, egg options and the bakery. All fruit are fresh and tasty. Really really impressed - highly recommended.

🌙✨ Had an amazing Iftar experience at Oléa Mediterranean Restaurant The buffet was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of well-prepared dishes that were both flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere was beautiful, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the meal with family and friends. 🌸🍽️ The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a wonderful Iftar! 🕌💫

The Olea restaurant offers a variety of delectable dishes. and the entire staff, who are all well-organized and accommodating.Salute to Olea Staffs and thank you for being so kind.

Great breakfast buffet ! The coffee could be a bit better but the food is great. Fruits taste like fruits unlike other places in the UAE and their pastries are amazing The best part is that breakfast is serve till 1 pm! Definitely have brunch there :)

I stayed at the W Abu Dhabi hotel for one night with family and was very interested to see the F1 racing track that ran below and around the hotel. The check in was fast and efficient. The staff were friendly, attentive and provided a good overview of all the hotel amenities which were quite inviting and extensive. I wished my stay could have been longer. Upon being shown to my room I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had been upgraded to a suite. The room was exceptionally beautiful with the full marina view and part of the racing track which was exciting to see and hear as the cars sped across. We ate dinner at the hotel’s Brooklyn Chophouse Restaurant. The food was sumptuous. A fabulous hotel indeed that I recommend is a must to experience!

Beautiful 5 star hotel international standards located next to the marina and the Yas F1 race track. Rooms are spacious and amenities are modern and well serviced. Delicious n varied cuisines available in the hotel restaurants which include a Greek food outlet, a steak house, a general cafe for buffets n breakfasts plus a lounge to relax n while away the hours with music. Staff are a delight n English conversant, always helpful n polite. Management staff are always ready to assist should the need arise. The hotel is pet friendly n allows pets within the premises on leash n of course in the rooms with their owners. All in a delightful stay with the hotel accompanied by the occasional noise n roar of supercars racing round the track. The gym n spa facilities are exceptional, clean and well maintained.

From the moment you arrive, the W Hotel sets the standard for exceptional hospitality. The service is truly outstanding — every member of the team goes above and beyond to make sure you feel looked after, often anticipating your needs before you even ask. The attention to detail is second to none, and it’s clear that guest satisfaction is their top priority. Whether it’s a small personal touch in the room, assistance at the front desk, or the seamless dining experience, everything reflects genuine care and professionalism. The atmosphere is both luxurious and welcoming, with a vibrant energy that makes each stay unforgettable. It’s rare to find a place where service, style, and comfort come together so effortlessly — but the W delivers it perfectly every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a five-star experience where the staff truly go the extra mile.

W Abu Dhabi Yas Island used to be one of our favorite hotels whenever we came to Abu Dhabi. We always made a stop here for a few days and truly enjoyed our stays in the past. Unfortunately, this time was completely different. As a Bonvoy Ambassador, I was neither recognized nor greeted accordingly upon arrival. The lady at check in was an intern and clearly overwhelmed. She had to call for assistance several times. I asked for a nice upgrade, as we always received one before. She assured me everything was fine, so we went for lunch. Later, she came by the restaurant smiling and handed us the room key, saying she had given us a great upgrade. In reality, it was exactly the same room category I had booked. Quite disappointing, but fine for one night, as the rooms are still spacious and modern. The next issue came later that night. We had taken a short nap in the afternoon, used the shower and bathroom, and left the Make Up Room light on before heading to Yas Mall. When we returned around 9 PM, nothing had been done, no evening service, no cleaning, nothing at all. At this level of hotel, that is simply unacceptable. I will mention this again during check out tomorrow, but it is unfortunate to see how much the quality has declined compared to previous years. This review is meant as constructive feedback, and I truly hope the management takes it seriously and restores the level of service that once made this property special.

We stayed at W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island on the 7th October to celebrate my son’s 4th birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish! A heartfelt thank you to Grace at the front desk for the warm welcome and smooth check-in, and to Nette, Ashwini, and Bhaven for arranging such a beautiful surprise in our room — complete with a delicious cake, fresh flowers, and lovely birthday decorations that made my son’s day extra special. Dinner at Garage Restaurant was the highlight of our stay! The team surprised my son with a handwritten card, and everyone came singing and dancing with a cake — it was such a fun and emotional moment for all of us. Huge appreciation to JJ, Ann, Shila, Nanth, Baba, Sandeepa, Saiful, Rabindra, Jabid, and Shisla for making the evening so full of joy and warmth. Shout out to all chefs, for the amazing breakfast selections that suits for all. Especially lots of Indian choices. Apart from all these wonderful gestures, the rooms and the hotel itself are absolutely gorgeous — stylish, vibrant, and full of character. Every detail feels thoughtful and luxurious. The entire team, from valet to kitchen to housekeeping, deserves praise for being incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready with a smile. Thank you, W Yas Island, for making our family celebration so magical. My son was beyond happy, and we left with hearts full of gratitude and memories we’ll cherish forever. 💫🎂💐

We stayed at the hotel for two nights in August while accompanying our son, who was leaving for the US. Our stay was truly memorable. The location was perfect for us — close to the airport and Ferrari World, the only attraction we had planned to visit. Our room offered a lovely view of the racetrack and a partial ocean view. It was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Though the lobby tends to get a bit crowded at times, the staff were courteous and efficient. Check-in was quick and smooth, and room service was excellent — prompt delivery, delicious food, and generous portions. We had breakfast at Garage on both days. The spread was extensive and impressive, though it does get quite busy around 9 a.m. On the first day, my son wanted a milkshake, which wasn’t part of the buffet. The staff went out of their way to make one specially for him, knowing he was travelling early the next morning — a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. However, our experience on the second day was rather disappointing. After dropping our son at the airport, we returned for breakfast. While I was serving myself some gravy, the ladle accidentally slipped into the dish. When I asked for a replacement, the staff member simply reached into the gravy with his bare hand to retrieve it — something completely unexpected from a hotel of such repute. Overall, we had a mixed experience at Garage — moments of genuine warmth and hospitality and on the other end of spectrum an incident that left a poor impression. Guests will certainly be wowed by the grandeur of the property, but what truly stays in memory are the gestures — both kind and unkind — of the people who represent it.

Just came back from an amazing stay here at the W hotel. We were gifted an upgrade to a full track view for our room, the room was clean and amazing. The staff here in the restaurants and the hotel go above and beyond for you at any given chance so the service was 10/10. The food was unbelievable and the portions were great- highly recommend half-board. The facilities such as the pools and the gym/spa were all pristine and well equipped. All in all I would highly recommend staying here and will hopefully be back soon!

I absolutely love this restaurant. Great taste, always fresh, with a wide variety of delicious Lebanese dishes. The ambience is warm and welcoming, and the place is always bustling with foodies and loyal customers, a true sign of its popularity and consistency. Excellent service, great value for money, and an overall wonderful experience every time. Zahrat Lebanon has been around in Abu Dhabi for decades, and it’s always a pleasure to visit or order online. Highly recommended!

I tried the chicken liver, manakish, and chicken shawarma at Zahrat Lebnan on Defence Street, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh, authentic, and really satisfying. I also loved the convenience of scanning the QR code to see the menu and even pay directly through it – super smooth and modern. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff were very attentive, and even those just passing by my table would ask if I was enjoying my meal. It really made me feel welcomed and well taken care of.

Zahrat Lebanon offers a wonderful taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is rich with traditional dishes, from freshly prepared mezze to flavorful grilled meats, all presented beautifully. The hummus and tabbouleh were especially fresh, and the mixed grill was tender and well-seasoned. The service was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience smooth and enjoyable. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between casual and elegant, making it a great spot for both family meals and small gatherings. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the wait time for food was a little longer than expected during peak hours. However, the quality and taste made it worth it. Overall, Zahrat Lebanon is a must-visit for anyone craving genuine Lebanese flavors — highly recommended! And I would personally appreciate Abdelrahem service was amazing !!!

The best place in town. Hosni was a great host full of hospitality and life. Some of the best food this side of the gulf.

Went in for a simple bite, pita and a shawarma wrap, and somehow it turned into a life‑altering experience. No hummus, no mezze apocalypse, just straightforward, perfectly toasted pita hugging a shawarma wrap so delicious it should be illegal. Simple, honest, and addictive enough to make you reconsider every sad sandwich you’ve ever eaten. Pros: straightforward, perfectly executed, satisfying, and pricing is reasonable, your wallet survives while your taste buds rejoice. Cons: eating one wrap might make you question every previous fast food choice. Verdict: if restaurants were people, this one would be that friend who quietly wins every eating contest without bragging.

Just a 10-minute wander from Abu Dhabi’s main bus terminal, and you’ll stumble upon Zahrat Lebnan — a spot filled with high rating among locals and tourists that we basically had to check what all the shawarma-fueled hype was about. First impression? The place greets you like an old friend at a party — Arabic tunes blasting, grill smoke wafting through the air. The vibe was lively, casual, and somewhat chaotic but in the best possible way - they are just busy clearing tables for newcomers. You can choose between al fresco dining under fairy lights or escape the heat in an conditioned indoor zone. Tourists are never a new sight here. Now, onto the real stars of the show: 🌯 Mexican Chicken Shawarma Sandwich – Tender, spiced chicken tucked in a soft wrap with a creamy, tangy sauce that hits all the right notes. Basically, a simple mini flavor fiesta. 🥗 Al Raheb Salad – A smoky (perhaps a little over charred), silky mash of grilled eggplant with onions, peppers, and a surprise pop of pomegranate. It’s earthy, zesty and served as a cold appetiser — I’d prefer its hot baba ganoush cousin but I guess pomegranates dont go exploring too much in heat. 🥙 Shawarma Meat Pita – Juicy sliced meat with veggies stuffed into warm pita bread. A little heavy-handed on the salt, but still managed to disappear mysteriously from the plate. All in all, Zahrat Lebnan Perfect for an impromptu meal after a bus ride, we had it before so we weren’t able to handle the heavier servings. Theres also a lebanon bakery right next door if you dont mind taking away some yummy bakes.

We come here now every weekend, it’s always such a pleasant experience. The staff is super friendly and helpful…. Alaa always greets us a warm welcome. Saleh has been attending us every time and is so polite and sweet and suggestive of the best dishes and always checks for our satisfaction. Aloshka has been so sweet to us with his little surprise gestures and a friendly and familiar attitude towards pir kid. A big shout out to the manager Mr. Abdelrahim for his hospitality and polite attitude. All in all we had great food and excellent hospitality. What we had: Mixed Grill, Lentil Soup, Mixed Makali Platter, Falafel, Umm Ali, Manakish and Shawarma and Fatteh Just blindly go for it… it’s the best in the city

Dino Bistro at Pearl Rotala has a great ambience, relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. We stayed 2 nights at Rotala and had lunch twice at Dino. Their Charcoal pizza was delicious. There are many good Negroni cocktails choices. Negroni Amaro Sour was very refreshing. Chilled Italian draft beer is a great choice for a sunny afternoon. The Antipasti platter for two is highly recommended.

its rare to visit a place where everything is perfect these days. And personally i think Dino's is that place where Farhan is amazing, he looks into your eyes and say ' How are you' and you feel it and Herbert serves your drink and you feel the warmth in the cool drink. sorry i cant get 7 Stars, but i had to give 5 stars, Kindly accept it . I will surely come again and again its home now.

I’ve been to Dino’s Bistro Italiano multiple times and usually enjoy my visits, but this time the food didn’t quite match the standard I’m used to. What really made the evening pleasant was our server, Warren, who was genuinely lovely, attentive and accommodating throughout. We started with the Melanzane al Forno, which was very good and set a nice tone for the meal. The Margherita Classico pizza was also solid simple, fresh and you really can’t go wrong with a classic like that. The highlight of the evening was the Gnocchi al Ragù d’Anatra; it was comforting, flavourful and truly hit the spot. The disappointing part was the Spaghetti Vegan Bolognese. It lacked enough sauce and ended up quite dry, which took away from the whole dish. The Ragù di Manzo also started strong with that initial truffle note, but the flavour faded quickly and the dish felt under-sauced overall. The portion of meat was surprisingly small just a few tiny pieces which made the dish feel incomplete. We ended with the Tiramisu, which leaned too heavily toward cream and didn’t have that soft sponge texture you usually look forward to. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience thanks to the great service, but the food this time didn’t fully deliver. I’ve had much better meals at Dino’s before, so I’m hoping this was just an off night.

Our waiter, Adiesta, was absolutely fantastic! Amazing customer service. Food was fantastic, we had the hand rolled pasta with chicken and mushroom, it was delicious! Definitely recommend it.

Dino's Bistro Italiano🇮🇹 Tried this Italian restaurant for the first time today and it was a great experience ⭐️🇮🇹 The minestrone soup was warm, fresh, and comforting 🍲. The beef lasagna was delicious with generous layers and great flavor 🍝 We also ordered Dino’s signature pizza, which I really liked because it has truffle — rich, aromatic, and perfectly baked 🍕✨ The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly and attentive 🤗. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be coming back! 🙌💕

Incredible food, fantastic service. Special thanks to Warren and Farhan for good food recommendations. So kind staff. It was second time we are here and will come back in future !!

Everything was amazing, authentic and delicious Italian food. Our waiter Herbert was very good and the service was great.

Located near the Great Mosque lies this amazing hotel. The hotel convinced with its well maintained facilities as well as with its exceptional service. The variety and quality of food options were outstanding. The hotel features several pools, one being a beautiful infinity pool with a pool restaurant. Worth mentioning is the very detailed pool service (i.e. water bottles in a small cool box). Last but not least: The hotel even features a small gondola ride through the adjacent properties which is highly recommended during sunset hours. All major Abu Dhabi attractions are well reachable by taxi. All in all one of the best hotel experience ever. Special thanks to Ola and Heeler of the Guest Service Team who made our stay really unique and unforgettable.

I came here with my mother for one night and I must the atmosphere was very refreshing and perfect for a short and sweet vacation. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, there was not a single person that did not greet us with a smile. We were provided with all sorts of amenities, including hair dryers, a weighing scale etc. The room was truly unique, with comfortable and well organized architecture. We explored the whole compound on the first day. I would specifically recommend the boat ride to lovers or romantic partners, as they played such lovely music .There is so much to see here at Shangri-La!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at Shangri-La Abu Dhabi. The ambiance was elegant and relaxing — perfect for a quiet afternoon. Special thanks to Wai, who made the experience even better! She was warm, welcoming, and very attentive to our needs. Truly excellent service that matched the beautiful setting. Definitely a hidden gem in Abu Dhabi — highly recommended! ✨☕💛

Beautiful hotel in Abu Dhabi. Really stylish rooms with a beautiful view to the Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque and sea from the big balcony. Delicious breakfast, live music in lobby in the evening. They have several swimming pools and beach area. Don’t miss a gondola trip as a guest of hotel! We tried it both in the morning and in the evening. I like to walk near it because there is a beautiful promenade there.

We spent part of our honeymoon at Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The atmosphere is peaceful and romantic, with stunning views, world-class service, and thoughtful gestures that made us feel celebrated. Our room was beautifully decorated with Arabic charm, the breakfast buffet was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make every moment perfect. Highly recommend for couples looking for privacy, elegance, and a truly memorable stay in Abu Dhabi.

We stayed at Shangri-La for a week to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday, October 2025. The hotel surprised us with nicely decorated room with Cake, Balloons and flours. Great choice of breakfast and food was excellent. Staff were incredibly hospitable, the overall service was excellent, but what truly made our stay more enjoyable was the breakfast buffet team. Mohammad Shaban and the team looked after us well, Mildred, Ashni, Anne, Mon. We’ll definitely come back! From, Chauhan family.

From arriving at Shangri La to the final day leaving - what can I say. It was brilliant, what an experience. My Son, My Wife and I are so grateful with all the staff as they made our visit such an amazing experience. Our room was lovely, open the doors and the view to the pool side and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque just a sight away, I highly recommend this Hotel. The staff went above and beyond at breakfast, hotel concierge and all other requests (including a few late night milk requests for our toddler). We will be back soon! Lots of love to the staff from our baby Hamza x

The hotel was the most relaxing and welcoming holiday experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the amazing staff made us feel at home. The rooms were spacious, and the bathroom was perfect for a large family. The pool and kids’ area were also fantastic — everything was just right. However, the main reason we truly fell in love with this place was because of two incredible chefs, Lalit and Hasan. They absolutely made our stay unforgettable. Every evening, our dinners were exceptional, and the care they showed — even offering to prepare special dishes for us — was beyond anything we expected. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality made each meal a highlight of our trip. A huge thank you to the entire team, but especially to Lalit and Hasan — you both made our holiday truly special!

A Perfect Destination for a Short Relaxing Getaway🩵 I chose Saadiyat Island for its stunningly clear and clean turquoise sea🩵🩵🤩. The beach was absolutely beautiful and refreshing! soft white sand, crystal-clear water. It was truly breathtaking and perfect for a relaxing swim or a quiet walk along the shore. The hotel exceeded my expectations — it is clean, quiet, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to assist. Wi-Fi connectivity was fast and reliable throughout the property. The breakfast buffet at Olea featured an impressive selection of options. The food was delicious. Fresh bakery items were prepared every hour, ensuring everything was served hot and perfectly fresh. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and luxurious short escape!🩵

Beautiful resort but what made our stay outstanding was the Front Desk Manager, Brandon. From the very outset, Brandon went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. We were travelling with young children and my daughter felt unwell during our stay. Brandon went out of his way to make sure she was comfortable and not inconvenienced so we were able to delay our check out until she felt well enough to travel. Brandon’s outstanding service resonates across the resort. The staff at breakfast, lunch, dinner, poolside were all exemplary and work incredibly hard to ensure guests are comfortable and welcome. We’ve stayed in some of the finest hotels around the world but the team here are amongst the best. Thank you.

My stay at the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort was unfortunately marred by two significant issues that do not align with the reputation or price point of this luxury brand. 1. Unsafe and Unmaintained Beach: The main attraction, the beach, was a major disappointment. It was full of sharp stones and pebbles instead of soft sand. Regrettably, this led to an injury/cut on my foot while walking. A luxury resort beach should be safe and properly maintained for guests. 2. Extreme Delay for Beach Food Order: I placed a food order while relaxing on the beach. I was initially told the expected wait time was 30 minutes. However, the meal only arrived after an astounding one hour and fifteen minutes (75 minutes). This level of delay for a simple order is completely unacceptable and ruined the enjoyment of my time by the sea. The resort needs immediate action regarding beach maintenance and a serious review of the efficiency of their beach service staff. The overall value for money was extremely poor.

It was a perfect place for holiday, the Facilities are great and everything we tried was amazing! Except the room when we checked in found an old Pear from the previous guest which doesn’t seem the cleaning is good as the Very High rate price we paid for. I called them and they say we will send someone to remove it now. And the Butler service was limited!! I liked the breakfast experience. The beach team is great specially Mr Panda and his team!!

The personal service delivered by the butler was second to none. The breakfast was amazing as was the international restaurant buffet. My only complaint is that the air con in the restaurant made the food cold and they weren't able to accommodate a later checkout ; however, the facilities in the gym made up for this. This meant we could relax in the resort.

Review for stay during Dec 2024. Everything was perfect during our stay, the rooms were very comfortable. Service was exceptional and prompt. Lots of quiet areas available to relax by the pool or at the beach. Pool water temperature during this time of the year could be warmer. Wide variety of selection every morning for breakfast was great.

With a 5-star hotel brand, the expectation for food quality and service is naturally high. We had dinner on Friday night, which was advertised as a seafood and steak night. Sadly, the seafood options were very limited—only broiled and cold prawns, and white clams (no fresh oysters). At the grill station, the grilled fish was served cold and tasteless. The grilled freshwater giant prawns ran out around 7:30–8:00 pm, even while customers were still arriving, and were replaced with regular grilled prawns that were not fresh at all (the meat was soft and falling apart). The sushi section had more variety, but the taste was average. Overall, there weren’t many choices, and drinks were not included. The dessert section had more variety. If you have a sweet tooth, you would love it. However, paying 280++ for this quality is not worth it. Service was also lacking—staff did not clear used plates from our table promptly. The atmosphere and toilets were clean, but overall, the experience was below expectations.

A Beautiful Restaurant that enhances the local beauty. Location is easy to access, with professional and welcoming valet services. Lobby with a view. Easy to reach from the lobby, their all-day dining. Pretty ambiance, dimmed lights where the buffet is. It was not that crowded, nice seats by the window. The breakfast buffet itself is very strong with food variety. Local flavors are emphasized as well, and you can find major breakfast items of each major culture. Loved the fact that they had 100% gluten-free items on the buffet. So you do not have to ask and feel awkward. Healthy options are highlighted, but they have ice cream variations too. I eat soups for breakfast and love the fact that they put an effort into making delicious soup, even though it is not a popular choice. A lot of items that you will not see in other places were present, so again, a big variety. Chefs were very approachable and helpful. Food is delicious, each item on the buffet was so tasty, you can see a lot of effort put. The chef passing around and offering some food items was something unique. We had a really nice breakfast. It was a nice choice of a restaurant and time for us, as we are with a toddler, and in some places you do not feel that comfortable, or the atmosphere is too hectic for small kids. Here, even our small one had a great time and enjoyed breakfast. Ahmed and Dixon made our experience even more delightful. Service is great and what you would expect from Shangri-La.

Location of hotel away from city , around the beach with Grand mosque view and hotel it self is beautiful designed and decorated. Their breakfast buffet was amazing . Loads of live cooking stations, freaky squeezed juices , chocolate fountain, vegan options, Asian and Middle Eastern options. And warm and excellent service . They have indoor and outdoor both areas for breakfast.

Our family had a truly enjoyable dining experience here, thanks to Mr. Dickson’s outstanding service. He was very polite, attentive, and efficient, ensuring that all our needs were met promptly. His warm hospitality made us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our dining experience. Our whole family was very happy and satisfied ❤️

We've always loved the food at Sofra at the Shangri-La Qariyat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi and now we can add that's they definitely have gotten even better than before. A business meeting became a lunch and the lunch went on for two hours so you can imagine how good the food, ambiance and most importantly, the company was. Thanks for the hospitality. The biryani was simply out of this world and the Thai Red curry was killer.

My wife and I had a lovely lunch at Sofra and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food selection was excellent — a wide variety of delicious dishes that were both flavorful and well-presented. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing meal together. Special mention to Dickson and Sai for his attentive and friendly service — he made our experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

We have experienced exceptional service! Dickson is very attentive with our needs. I highly recommend!

A laid-back spot where the beers are cold, the vibes are chill, and the screens are always locked on the big game.

A very nice spot if you want a quiet place in the morning to finish your online work and have fresh coffee and yummy food. Excellent service and welcoming staff. Greetings to their chef for the best salad I have ever had 👌😋 Slightly pricey but worthy. Only thing they should pay attention to are the indoor benches that are not cushioned, they are hard to sit on for more than one hour. Overall, I highly recommend Belgian café, must try if you are in Yas Island area. 10/10

A fantastic dining experience. Service was superb with Ritika & Alok being super attractive, friendly & helpful. It’s an absolute gem of a place. The food is outstanding, presented well & what is sets this place apart is the staff. Thank you for another wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

I have visited them many times they have A fantastic food and atmosphere with warm welcome from all the staff members. Very nice terrace with a big sports screen Big Thanks to Pikash, Marwa, Ruma, and Brenda, for always being friendly, helpful and smiling 😊.

Belgian Beer Café is cosy, pleasant outside terrace and fine sports bar! food is great with yummy Belgian specialties such as Frites Speciaal & mussels. Open till late. My go-to place on Yas island !

We love this place. Awesome vibes and music. Great location to be in as well. Great get together place with freinds and families. No restrictions for kids. 29th Aug review: As always love this place to hangout with my partner 🥰

Absolutely terrible customer service. Went as a ground 8, each time we ordered a drink it took min 20 minutes. Couple of starters to share took nearly an hour. Main course came stone cold… steak knives arrived after everyone had finished and to cap it all off staff said they don’t clear plates away until bill is paid … manager is just a yes man, make a complaint and he listens but does nothing.. this place should be shut down

If I can give the service more than 5, I would’ve given them 10 of 5, especially for Joe. Big thanks for Joe for the amazing service. The food is perfect. It is a must visit restaurant at least once a month. First time visiting them was in 2017, and still the quality is the same if not better. It is rare to find a restaurant that can keep the same quality for 8 years and more.

Beautiful venue. The salad bar had a lot of different options and the desserts had the best selection I’ve seen in a buffet. They had a lot of different cuts of meat and you could tell them what your preference for the doneness. Everything was amazing in quality, even the sides and sauces (which is separate from the salad bar but also included), the atmosphere was lively and they had live music and performers. Would definitely go again for a special occasion.

I spent over two weeks in the UAE, and my favorite meal throughout my stay was arguably Chamas. I was expecting to focus primarily on meats at a churrascaria, but to my pleasant surprise, Chamas offered an extraordinary spread of appetizers and salads! There were probably 50 items at the buffet, including at least 10 gourmet salads (check out my video). I’m willing to pay just for the salad buffet itself. Nonetheless, the highlight of the meal was the meat, needless to say. Be sure to pace yourself as you’d want to try the full variety, and it takes time for the servers to rotate everything. My favorite cuts were the picanha, wagyu, and garlic. Make sure you save space for the cheese bread at the start and the garlic bread at the end. The garlic bread was amazing! The only disappointing section was dessert. There was nothing memorable, so I ended up asking for more grilled pineapple, which was incredible! Service is generally good, though one server occasionally gave me a weird look when I declined specific cuts of meat. One thing that I found disturbing was that the bar seems to allow smoking indoors. I could smell the cigarette smoke from downstairs, which really ruined the experience.

An amazing experience! The all-you-can-eat meat was excellent — tender and perfectly cooked. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, even though we arrived late. The price was very affordable, and the cinnamon pineapple was absolutely sublime to finish the meal. I highly recommend this place!

Superb service from Chintani! You made us feel so special with your attentive service. Thanks for getting out of your way by giving my wife a special birthday cake.

Good food and good service as always. Jamila who assisted and serve us is really very cheerful and we are very happy on how she serve us. We will come back for sure.

Chamas never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, perfect and lively (thanks to the lady singer) for a great night out. The staff are incredibly attentive especially Angela, she makes sure your table is always taken care of. I love how different meat cuts keeps coming on the table! 🙂👍✨

The place was absolutely fantastic! Everything was impeccably organized, and everyone was incredibly attentive to our every need. The salad was super fresh, and the beef and shrimp were both delicious. 🤤 Food variety was excellent 👌🏽 We had an amazing time there, especially since it was decided so quickly as my last meal before my planned delivery. 👶🏽 🍼. The place now holds a special place in our hearts. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Thank you for making today so memorable!

The restaurant has this countryside vibe mixed with elegance that caters to all kinds of people. The food was amazing, boasting a number of different meat slices. Aside from the grilled options, there were a few international dishes including sushi, soup, seafood, and dessert. The staff were friendly, approaching each table with a smile and sometimes would initiate small talk regarding the food they're offering. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience worth the price.

The place was very beautiful. We came on a Monday, and it was slow and quiet . The music was a bit low from the side we were seated on which I don’t like but hey, the meat made up for everything! Different kinds of meat kept coming non-stop. The moment you hit the lamp, the servers would start bringing it in. Personally, I loved the crispy, slightly well-done pieces — they were marvelous. Big shoutout to and Marvelous , who managed to adjust the meat exactly to my liking. Now, the pineapple with cinnamon — that caught me off guard. At first, I didn’t want it. But when they brought it around again, I decided to give it a try… and let me tell you, it was the best decision I made that day. Juicy, sweet, and absolutely delicious — it instantly brought back memories of my motherland

The food was delicious, full of different varieties and embraces Brazilian all you can eat barbecue concept. A buffet with diverse options and very good meat cuts, for vegetarian guests there are also options. The staff is very friendly, attentive and also ready to assist. Big thanks to Glaucio who is always smiling and promoting the diversity of meat cuts in the restaurant! Easy location with parking, the restaurant has a very welcoming environment for all kinds of groups and also family friendly, with a nice kids playground!

Ola Brasil Steakhouse is simply outstanding! The meats are perfectly seasoned, juicy, and served nonstop with that authentic Brazilian flair. 🥩🔥 What really makes the experience unforgettable is the service. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and always makes sure you feel taken care of. You can tell they put genuine effort into making every guest’s visit special. If you’re looking for amazing food combined with warm hospitality, Ola Brasil is the place to go. Highly recommended! 🇧🇷✨

We had an amazing experience at Ola Brasil Churrasco. The food was delicious with so many varieties to choose from, and the BBQ was cooked to perfection. The staff was very polite, friendly, and attentive. A great place to enjoy with family and friends – highly recommended

Ola Brasil Churrasco is a feast you won’t forget! 🍴🔥 With 15+ types of unlimited BBQ including Wagyu and Black Angus, plus unli sushi, pasta, pizza, tacos, salad bar, and desserts—it’s a foodie’s paradise. The vibrant ambiance with live music makes it perfect for dinner dates or celebrations. Highly recommend!

Always great service, special mention for Vincent as he's awesome 😎 food and drinks are good quality and reasonably priced. Changing facilities and pool are clean and well looked after, beach is immaculate.

We ended up going to Cabana Beach Bar & Restaurant at the St. Regis Abu Dhabi completely unplanned, right after visiting a nearby tourist attraction — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The restaurant is right on the Corniche and is easy to find. I had read in Google reviews that it’s one of the best spots in Abu Dhabi for sushi, paired with a beautiful ambiance, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered a selection from the appetizers — sushi, avocado truffles, and prawns — and honestly, every dish was a hit. The highlight for me was the sushi, served with freshly grated wasabi, which I tried for the first time. It was such an authentic touch. This is actually a Michelin-starred restaurant as written in the resturant, and you can see the level of detail and quality in everything — from the food presentation to the service. To top it off, we caught the sunset views over the Corniche, which tied the whole experience together and made it truly memorable. If you’re visiting Abu Dhabi and looking for an elegant dining spot with world-class food, amazing views, and a relaxing vibe, Cabana at the St. Regis should definitely be on your list.

An exceptional Lunch at Cabana Bar & Grill! 🌅 The food was absolutely delicious — the brisket sandwich was out of this world, tender and packed with flavor. There were also plenty of great options for kids, making it a perfect spot for families. A special mention goes to Bhaskar, whose outstanding service made our visit even better. He was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, and top-notch service — couldn’t recommend it more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent place, food was great, service by Victor was 10/10. Highly recommend.

Great pool, nice beach and very friendly staff. Relaxing setting as it was not busy while I was there. A bit of an issue is if you want to soak up the sun, the two skyscrapers can cast a shadow over the area. By moving around the pool you can still get a nice amount of sun.

We’ve been regulars at Nation Riviera Beach Club for quite some time now, and it continues to impress every single weekend. One of the standout reasons we keep coming back—aside from the beautiful beachfront and facilities—is the exceptional service. Even in the middle of summer, when it is a million degrees outside, the wait staff never miss a beat. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always seem genuinely happy to help. Whether it's making sure our drinks are ice cold or checking in with a smile, they consistently go above and beyond to make our experience comfortable and enjoyable. Their dedication doesn’t go unnoticed, especially in the extreme heat—it’s nothing short of remarkable. Great atmosphere, a place we can properly relax, and the perfect mix of hidden away from the noise of the city/still being in its heart. Prices are affordable and the food is also delicious (love a bit of calamari by the pool)! Living nearby, we consider Nation Riviera our go-to weekend spot, and the wonderful team is a huge part of why that’s the case. If you’re looking for a beach club with top-notch service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this place is a gem.

We had an incredible evening and the highlight of our experience was the outstanding service from Bhaskar. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that instantly set the tone for the night. Bhaskar was attentive without being intrusive, recommended delicious dishes and drinks, and made sure every detail was perfect throughout our meal. His friendly personality and professionalism truly elevated the whole dining experience. Highly recommended!

I am surprised the average score reaches 4.4 to he honest. The food quality is quite below expectation which I definitely cannot use delicious to describe. The ingredients are not fresh such as the chicken wings. The Caesar salad has too much sauce that you could easily feel greasy after eating a bit. We ordered ribeye it is ok but not worth money based on such quality. I won’t recommend especially the atmosphere is not remarkable either, non-smoking area are just near by the smoking place that you could imagine.

We initially decided to go here to see a soccer match. The Intercontinental Hotel looked lovely and we expected the food to be excellant. We were so wrong! The pork ribs were delicious but my salmon was swimming in an inch of tastless oil. Slices of potatoes were floating in it and it was tasteless. My husband loves lamb but although he asked for medium rare it was well done and dry. He also left his meal. My friend got a chicken dish that had greasy breaded coating and dry chicken which was awful. Her husband ordered a steak which he enjoyed. We asked for salt and pepper and both had salt in them. This was the worst meal I have had. We were given 25% discount and an apology. We paid and left.

Belgian Café Abu Dhabi is an absolute favorite! The warm, inviting ambiance paired with waterfront views creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The food is consistently delicious—perfectly cooked mussels, crispy fries, and juicy steaks are a must-try. Kids menu also available with perfect selections. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always smiling. Whether you’re here for a weekend brunch, or dinner with friends, the experience is always top-notch. A true gem for food lovers and a 5/5 across the board for quality, service, and atmosphere. Special thanks for the professional & friendly staff : Swastika Sunita

I ate at Belgian Cafe twice while staying at the Intercontinental Hotel. The food here was pretty average compared to other restaurants at the hotel and in the area. I was pretty surprised at how busy it often was in the evenings and other high ratings. I reserve my High ratings for really amazing food, service, and value. The signature sauce Mussel Pot was actually pretty heavy, too creamy for mussels, and I wish I had ordered something more simple and traditional. The salmon I had on my second visit was much better prepared. In both instances service was unpredictable, as the servers could be attentive one moment, and then overwhelmed by the volume of patrons the next. After my second meal there, I would say it was good, but I did not see any reason to return. I suppose if you enjoy beer and pub food, this restaurant would be more appealing.

What a gem 💎 The food here is absolutely delicious full of flavor and served in generous portions 🙏 #Head chef 👨‍🍳. The place has such a warm, lively vibe, perfect for relaxing with friends and enjoying drinks. What really made the experience special was the amazing hospitality from Hosh Angie, Gopal, and Sunita. They welcomed every guest with big smiles and took care of everything with such kindness. You can really feel the love they put into the place. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. I'm loving it 💯👌

Authentic vibes, great food, and a fantastic atmosphere! Last week I had a wonderful experience at Belgium Café in Abu Dhabi. The ambiance is warm and inviting perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or colleagues. The food was excellent: freshly prepared, full of flavor, and nicely presented. I especially recommend the mussels and fries a true Belgian classic! The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the visit. There’s also a great selection of drinks, and the outdoor seating area offers a lovely view, especially in the evening. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a cozy spot with quality food, good service, and a chilled-out vibe.
