Restaurant
Bait El Khetyar -Najdah is a popular Lebanese restaurant located in Najda and Hamdan Street, Abu Dhabi. The shawarmas are highly recommended for their simplicity, cleanliness, and flavorful taste. In addition to regular shawarmas, the menu offers variants such as shawrma alkhtyar, shawrma mexicy, and shawrma arabi.
El Bait El Khetyar is a pretty good spot for Lebanese food. The staff were really nice – they even brought out some extra stuff for us to try, which was cool. The food's tasty and the prices are decent. We noticed they didn't have any chicken when we went, but it wasn't a big deal. It's a small place, not a ton of seats, but we didn't have to wait. Overall, I'd recommend it.

Pretty good spot for some middle-eastern and Lebanese flavours. The fattoush salad was fresh and refreshing. The khubuz was soft and pillowy like always. It's just perfect with some hummus and garlic paste. The chicken items are good too. The watermelon juice is so fresh because it's 100% pure watermelon juice. 🍉
We always have a good experience here. ❤️
I visited this place after a long time, accompanied by two friends visiting from abroad who are big fans of Shawarma. We ordered Beef Shawarma, Falafel, and Hummus, which was served with their freshly baked hot Khubus (bread). The hummus was rich and creamy, and we really enjoyed it with the hot bread and crispy falafel.
However, to be honest, I found the beef shawarma to be dry and not juicy, with the meat appearing slightly darker. In my opinion, juiciness and tenderness are key elements of a good shawarma, and unfortunately, this has been my previous experience here as well, which is why I hadn’t returned for shawarma until now.
the other items were excellent, and the service was top-notch. The ambiance and seating are great, and the staff was very attentive. Our order was served quickly and efficiently.
One downside is the parking being in a commercial area, it's often full, even at night. Finding a spot is more a matter of luck.
I would recommend the management to focus on improving the beef shawarma by making it juicier and more flavorful, which would really elevate the overall experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Visited Bait El Khetyar – Najdah, Abu Dhabi on Thursday evening, 7th July 2025 for a shawarma craving, and it did not disappoint!
We ordered:
2x Chicken Shawarma (AED 8 each)
Saj Shawarma (+AED 13)
Mexican Shawarma (AED 11)
Total bill was around AED 40, and every bite was worth it. The chicken shawarma was flavorful, juicy, and perfectly spiced. The Saj shawarma had a nice soft wrap and a generous filling, while the Mexican shawarma brought a tasty twist with its slight kick of spice.
The place was crowded, which shows how popular it is. We opted for takeaway, and despite the rush, the service was quick and efficient.
If you’re in Abu Dhabi and looking for one of the best spots to enjoy shawarma at a great price, this place is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
To the wonderful team behind the shawarma magic,
Thank you for the delicious meal and the kindness that came with it.
Your warm smiles and thoughtful service turned a simple visit into a moment of comfort.
The dine-in space felt like a gentle embrace welcoming, calm, and full of care.
I left not just full, but genuinely uplifted.
Wishing you continued joy in all you serve and share.
With appreciation,
Shakira
Extremely good. Very busy, very popular. Everything ordered was just perfect. Shawarma was like 20 years ago in Damascus, best memory ✨🫶🏻
Great food, really delicious! The staff is very nice and welcoming.
Recommend also for breakfast 👌🏻
We’ll come back
Bayt Al Khetyar is perfect for quick Arabic snacks, flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. It’s almost always packed, which says everything about how popular and in demand it is. Great spot for a casual bite whenever you’re craving something local.

We ordered some sandwiches, and in general, they were good. For me, the beef and truffle one was a bit too oily.
The service was very good and pleasant.

I've tried the breakfast only, it's pricey comparing to opponents.
The food was delicious but can be better, the hash brown was full of spices -I think ginger- which twisted the taste, also the avocado slices were covered with zaatar (thyme) which gave it a nice taste but again there was a strong taste of spices which twisted the taste agian, eggs were perfectly cooked.
The portion is big enough.
The place was clean , tidy and well decorated, I liked that the kitchen is opened to the dining space.
There were a lot of grocers, specially cheeses, pickles, processed meats and more items.
The cakes look delicious, I will try it next time.
I want to send a special thanks to Mark, he was our servant, he's very polite and kind.
I had the most amazing Sunday roast here, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Jam Gin Fizz was spot on and paired beautifully with the meal. What truly made the experience special was the service. A huge shoutout to Marie, Ron, and Jane, they went above and beyond to make the afternoon unforgettable. Friendly, attentive, and full of good vibes. Can’t wait to come back!
We had our first dine-in experience at Jones the Grocer Khalidya branch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Special mention to Michael, Ron and Dims for making it even better. We will definitely be coming back!
My friend and I went to Jones the grocer in Abu Dhabi, and the food was absolutely delicious especially their steak with Chimichurri sauce. After lunch, we enjoyed some cocktails. Big thanks to Michael and Ariel for being so awesome and accommodating!
My husband and I had brunch at Jones the Grocer. I had a delicious roast beef meal with side dishes of parsnips, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, and broccoli, paired with a glass of Shiraz. The staff were very nice and accommodating, so I’d like to say thank you to Mark, Ron, and Jellie for a job well done, as well as to the chef who prepared such a fantastic meal. THANK YOU!
First I want to say thank you for all the staffs specially Jellie, Mark, Dimson, Ryan & Michael they are so accommodating, they always ask if we are good and they are also asking if we need something else and recommending the best seller..Im so happy and satisfied the foods its really worth it..keep up the good services guys..very satisfied the food is amazing😋

Lebanese restaurant
Restaurant
Lebanese Mill Restaurant is a popular dining spot known for its delicious traditional Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with their specialty being the perfectly grilled kabab and kofte, particularly the chicken dish. While the interior may not be extravagant, the focus here is on the exceptional food quality. Guests rave about the well-roasted half chicken served with generous sides and dips like hummus and garlic sauce.
My husband and I recently visited Abu Dhabi and along with friends had the luck of trying the some amazing dishes at the Mill restaurant.
The food was Incredible and had an authentic home made taste in every bite. The service was lovely and the cozy home like ambiance made us feel so welcome.
I highly recommend this restaurant and is a must try when you visit Abu Dhabi :)
Sharon G — Google review
best lebanese food we’ve had. they had sold out of lentil soup and our server made some great recommendations which were all amazing. the charcoal chicken was top tier and some of the best we‘ve all had. we got the vine leaves, kibbeh, meat shawarma, charcoal chicken and mint lemon drink. Girgis was the best server and was extremely sweet and attentive. Thank you so much!!
A sudden decision of where to eat until we came up to check the restaurant in the corner of our street. And it was the best decision we had for a food. Half chicken machine is the best for me, among all the grilled chicken we had in Abu dhabi Lebanese Mill offers the simplest but the best tasting chicken and generous servings of appetizer. Saj Shawarma is also highly recommended. Now it's our go to restaurant.
My favorite Arabic restaurant in Abu Dhabi. The chicken is so flavorful and tender. I also love their fatoush! Service is excellent too!
It was one of the best places I have eaten in Abu Dhabi.
Excellent and tasty food.
Chicken charcoal was amazing.
The waiters were very nice with us.
Thanks to the staff.
Had dinner with friends on several occasions and always had a great experience. The mixed grill platter, especially the Kilogram, Arris, and fresh salads, was outstanding. The mutton was exceptionally fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommended for authentic Lebanese cuisine and consistent quality.
In town for 30 hours and I wanted authentic food. I just wanted some Baba Ganoush, tabouli salad, tahini, and boy these guys didn’t disappoint. I don’t eat meat but they had plenty of delicious bits to choose from. I couldn’t finish it all and it was super priced. I definitely ordered too much.
One of the best spots in Abu Dhabi for real Lebanese food. The portions are huge, prices are very reasonable, and everything tastes fresh and authentic. Their shawarma, hummus, and garlic dip are a must-try, and the mixed grill is excellent. Service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere feels simple and welcoming. If you want proper Lebanese flavors without the fuss, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Great spot for breakfast any time of the day. We tried the Lumberjack Slam, Waffle Slam, and the kids' breakfast. All were fresh, tasty, and very filling. The pancakes were a favorite! Big portions, good prices, and fast service. A nice place to enjoy a relaxed meal at the mall. Highly recommend!

Nice and comfortable diner with good options. The pancakes were really good and chicken skillet was good too. The pasta could be a bit more creamy as it seemed little bit plain and only tasted of tomato. The ambience of the place is nice and the staff is helpful and supportive.
Nice place for breakfast and brunch!! Liked the breakfast menu and options.
I came for dinner this time but will be sure to visit here again for breakfast sometime soon too!!
Had an amazing brunch experience at Denny’s Abu Mall! The food was absolutely delicious — my favorite was the Crazy Spicy Sizzling dish, bursting with flavor and just the right amount of heat. The BBQ Chicken and BBQ Bacon Burger were both incredible — juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection. And of course, you can’t forget the nachos — crispy, cheesy, and the perfect start to our meal!
A huge thank-you to Ariane and Mr. Ali for their outstanding hospitality. They made us feel so welcome and ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend Denny’s Abu Mall if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a great vibe! 🌟
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a great experience at Denny’s Abu Dhabi Mall today. We came in for the Lumberjack Slam because we absolutely love their buttermilk pancakes — fluffy, soft, and always perfectly cooked. It’s one of our favourite comfort meals, and it did not disappoint.
Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, the service was excellent. Our server, Arianna, handled everything with so much efficiency and calm. She moved between tables with a genuine smile, stayed attentive, and made sure our food arrived on time despite the rush. It’s rare to see someone multitask so gracefully during peak hours. Service that she gave us deserves a reward.
The manager was also very friendly and welcoming. He checked on the tables, made sure everyone was enjoying their meals, and maintained a warm atmosphere even during a full house. It adds such a nice touch to the overall dining experience when the team works together so smoothly.
A great visit, delicious food, and truly wonderful service. Highly recommend stopping by Denny’s at Abu Dhabi Mall if you’re craving a hearty meal and a positive experience. The bonus is that the Big bus stop is across, you can go to the Abu Dhabi mall to do shopping & Cooperative supermarket is next too, plus the hotel is located next door. If you visiting the UAE, need a variety of foods & 24 hours service,Denny's is the perfect place. 👌 We always come back for those breakfast & more!!
I had a wonderful experience at Denny’s Abu Dhabi. The service was very professional, and the hostess kamala was friendly and welcoming. She gave us mouth-watering recommendations that we truly enjoyed.
The food was delicious, especially the fettuccini, which was our favorite. The trio fajita was also very tasty and well presented.
Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service!
You know to go when you went from crazy bars and drunk so Hard - and you wanna lay over and wanna eat your HEARTY MEAL 🥘 - This is the place. Cozy ambience - cool Staffs like Mr Saravan and Sewn Ali … They will serve you 24 hours. I love the Pancakes here
We celebrated birthday of my nephew here and it was awesome..the food was perfect and good..and the staff was nice and kind...We had a such wonderful day ...

It was our first time tasting Ethiopian food and wow! Different flavours and experience. You have to eat with your hand! Nice experience. It’s not a cozy restaurant but you will live a a whole experience.
Fantastic first experience at Bonna Anne Ethiopian restaurant!
The food was absolutely flavorful — every dish was rich, well-spiced, and satisfying. And the portions? Generous to say the least! Great value for the price.
A pleasant surprise during our meal: the staff brought out a pot of freshly roasted coffee beans. The aroma alone was heavenly and added such a unique touch to the dining experience.
Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try something new and delicious!
What a delight of a restaurant. Friends and I went there for lunch and it was incredible. The food was so savory and cooked to perfection. But what also stood out was that the service was lovely; smiles, attentiveness, and professionalism. I can't wait to return for another meal.
I’ve always loved Ethiopian food, and Bonna Anne never disappoints. The dishes are full of rich, authentic flavors that remind you why Ethiopian cuisine is so special. The staff are incredibly welcoming and kind, always greeting guests with genuine warmth and smiles. Every visit feels like a complete experience, delicious food, friendly atmosphere, and wonderful hospitality. Truly one of the best Ethiopian restaurants around!
My first try at Ethiopian food. Impressed with the concept of food platter. Tasty food with genuine service staff. Strongly recommend 🥰. Very reasonable price.
My first Ethiopian food, which was very good. Food was great, will a lot of flavors. Food portion was large, and servers were very kind. Definitely going to revisit this place.
Tonight we had our Dinner Night there with 13 people! This restaurant is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve eaten at here. The food is excellent, but what really makes it stand out is the warmth with which you are welcomed! You become part of Ethiopian culture, experiencing the coffee ceremony, incense, and a wonderful family-like atmosphere. I would highly recommend everyone to visit and let themselves be surprised by the richness of Ethiopian cuisine! My heartfelt thanks go to all the people there who made this such a wonderful evening for us ❤️

Middle Eastern restaurant
Meylas Emirati Restaurant - AlMuneera is a popular dining spot located at the promenade of Al Raha Beach, just a short drive from the city center. The restaurant's owner, Shaikha Al Kaabi, has a deep passion for local cuisine and named her eatery "Meylas," which means gathering place in the local language.
I searched and this restaurant came up a lot as a great place for local Emirati food. And they were not wrong!
There was a great selection of local foods including fresh fish and things I’ve never seen on other menus.
And….its a fast casual type place so not stuffy. We went in September in the middle of a Saturday and it wasn’t busy except for tons of deliveries.
I had shrimp and rice dish and my friend had a whole fish. We also had dates with cumin which was really good.
Michael F — Google review
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.

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.

West to West is located in Al Danah - Zone 1 - Abu Dhabi. West to West serves authentic Caribbean cuisine with a twist of different flavours and spices that tantalise the tastebuds. We ate at a tiny restaurant in the heart of the city where fresh dishes are made and served to perfection. We enjoyed eating the jerk chicken that came with tiny dishes of sauces and salads. We thoroughly enjoyed the delectable plantain, chickpeas, jerk chicken and wings, bread and rice mixed with brown beans. These dishes had flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, ginger etc which gave a unique taste to the Caribbean food we ordered. The cherry on top is that the prices are so reasonable. We experienced many different food influences stemming from the indigenous population of the islands. A wonderful experience!
Good food, worth the money; would definitely come here for the patties and
jerk chicken
Food was good and the chicken was very tender but that’s about iti. The restaurant was hot and the AC was only set for the receptionist. No diet soda options. The customer service was very poor and I would not be coming back.
And how can a main dish be served without any sides? No presentation, no effort, nothing was gone into the food.
A shame because the food was actually good.
Authentic Carribean food in all it’s sense! Delicious food - the wraps, jollof rice, gronnut chicken as they call it - we all fantastic! The jerk chicken wrap is full of surprises in every bite - rice in a wrap with a fusion of Arabic touch - just amazing! The west wrap with its sauce made it my most fav among the wraps for sure!
Quite a cozy cute cafe with vibrancy speaking out from the walls, with info about the West African countries (- loved it), friendly and fantastic cheerful staff - we had a wonderful experience!🥳
Visiting West to West it doesn't mean just eating good food, it means a complete and amazing experience!
The ambience is very nice, calming, inviting. The music in the background giving it a lovely vibe, while still allowing conversation. Not to mention the gentleman working there was incredibly kind and helpful, when we asked for recommendations, he was happy to explain the dishes to us, chatted with us and just made sure the experience at West to West was even better.
We were a party of 2, we ordered plantains (AMAZING), Trini Doubles (outstanding, comes with some out of this world sauce and chutneys that they make at West to West!), Caribbean Callaloo (fresh and tasty) and Awojoh Binch Wrap (nice).
We spoke what we would recommend and to be honest, we would literally recommend all of the dishes we had, they were so good! The sauce was properly spicy sauce, so any of the mentioned dishes could be made as spicy as you want it. And if you've read any our other reviews, you'll know that one of us adores spicy and the other one barely tolerates mildly spicy food - and these dishes made both of us happy. We are definitely coming back!
Having spent some time in the Caribbean, we are always on the hunt for a classic Stew Goat or Oxtail Stew but were never able to find the right taste in Abu Dhabi until West to West Kitchen opened up.
Initially it was a pop-up in the Urban Retreat area where we met the owner and enjoyed his traditional Caribbean style food, and life was never the same in Abu Dhabi after.
Our visits to get takeaway seem to just need a no reason actually given we lived so close to the Mall and when we learned they would be leaving the mall and going independent we couldn’t have been happier.
Fast-forward to last week, we finally manage to go to the new West to West Kitchen location on Salaam Street and loved the look and feel of the little place, there is limited dine in and as usual their delivery system was working non stop.
We were told they had just introduced a range of trini style roti options so we just had to try, went with the chicken and the shrimp option with some of the spicy sauce and loved it. The roti is stuffed full of chicken or shrimp with roasted veggies and is a full meal in itself, the taste s absolutely divine.
We also got our usual, the Oxtail Stew, the Goat Curry along with their signature jerk sauce and were happy to confirm the taste is still spot on, the oxtail has a nice bit of heat to it and the flavour is intense.
If you are a foodie who likes to try the cuisines form around the world, then a visit to West to West Kitchen for the finest West Indian food in Abu Dhabi is a must.
The food is great, the service friendly and the pricing is perfect, they also have meal options worth trying as well.
As a Sierra Leonean, I can vouch for the authenticity of the food. It is absolutely delicious! Tastes just like my parents cooking and reminds me of home!
Yesterday I ordered the Sunday roast for delivery. I chose the roast lamb, jollof rice and all the trimmings 🤤 I was going to give a 4 star review because despite me pre-ordering a day before (as requested by the restaurant), it unfortunately arrived 1 and a half hours late! But I could not deny the amazing taste and the generous portion size (which was enough to for 2 people) so this more than made up for the lateness!
The roast lamb was seasoned incredibly well and again, the jollof rice resembled my parent's cooking. The roast veg, gravy and Yorkshire pudding were also on point!
I'm very impressed West to West. I'll be ordering again 😎

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.

A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The Mosaic Spicy Hummus was a flavourful standout, and the Egg Shakshouka was so good it's inspired me to cook it at home. The Yellow Rice with Meat Shawarma was fragrant and juicy.
The atmosphere is warm, the staff are very friendly, and the free welcome starters were a lovely touch. It was a funny and perfect coincidence that both my husband and I had this place highly recommended to us separately – and it completely lived up to the hype!
🌟: Amazing Food, Friendly Staff, Great Atmosphere, Good Value.
Recommended Dishes: Mosaic Spicy Hummus, Egg Shakshouka, Yellow Rice with Meat Shawarma.
Just had lunch at Mosaic Restaurant in Abu Dhabi. The food was generally okay—nothing exceptional, but solid. The mixed grill platter came with tender lamb and chicken, though the beef was slightly overdone. The muhammara on pita was a highlight: smoky, nutty, and generously topped with herbs. Rice with nuts was fragrant and well-seasoned, and the tabbouleh was fresh and zesty. Sides like garlic potatoes and pickles added nice variety.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is modern and clean. Bread basket was warm and fluffy—perfect for dipping in the creamy hummus and mutabbal. Portions are generous, great for sharing.
A reliable spot for casual Middle Eastern fare, especially if you’re craving familiar flavors. Would return for the dips and rice dishes.
The staff manages to leave the stress out with all the stress and bring tranquillity into the dining area. The food is almost incredibly good. Speed, cleanliness, award-winning, multi lingual. I myself am Lebanese and they are so good they come damn close to my mom's kitchen. When I wanted to wait outside, an employee offered me his car to wait because I came with the chauffeur
had an excellent experience at Mosaic on Al Najda Road. The food was fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic — especially the mezze and grills. The atmosphere is warm and beautifully designed, making it a great place for both casual meals and gatherings.
A special thanks to Abdulkarem for the amazing service. He was welcoming, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. His professionalism really added to the experience.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy quality Lebanese cuisine in Abu Dhabi!
Second time in Abu Dhabi and second time here. High quality ingredients, amazing tastes dishes, kindness and nice location. This is a place that absolutely deserve a visit (and more) if you are in Abu Dhabi and love this cousine.
Hummus with hot pine nuts was creamy and tasty, served with tipycal bread. The mosaic rice was great! Scented with sweet notes it is a tasty mix with spices and dry fruit.
The dessert, umm ali, was amazing too. Nothing more to say.
I really recommend this restaurant. One of my favourite ever!
Be careful to order too many dishes because they serve you big portions, so ask advices before and for sure they can make you do the right choice to have a great meal! Can't wait to come back!
I really loved this place! The ambiance is great, it’s very clean, and the staff are polite and fast. The food is delicious with unique flavors. Portions are big, prices are fair, and the whole experience was memorable. Highly recommend!
one of the best meal I had in days for my Middle East trip, look no further, this is it (there are total of two branches, chosen this one cause it is closer to where we are going next)
nice bread, ordered garlic paste wow just wow, grilled cheese damn it is good, lamb rack with fries, beautiful, and shrimp with rice. Carrot juice was great, no sugar added
dinning area has in door (smoke free) or out door (smoking allowed)
we finished the meal in door with air con, then go sit out door to complete the meal with drinks and a few puff

We had once Sunday lunch here and since we are craving for mouthwatering wide range selection with quiet atmosphere we decided to dine here again and it didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed our lunch here! We love cheese, sushi rolls and steak so it’s really up to our expectation. The staffs are all accommodating and pleasing. Cheers to their Chef and kitchen staff as well. Highly recommended
One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. The food was poorly prepared, the service was unprofessional, and the staff clearly lacked basic experience in handling and serving food. The employees also had no real customer-service skills and struggled with basic communication.
I also faced an unprofessional situation with one of the staff members—when I pointed out something she had done, she responded by calling me a liar. This behavior is completely unacceptable.
Even the table setup and overall organization were disappointing. The place needs major improvement.
Last night me and a friend decided to enjoy the dinner buffet at urban kitchen, and as I have been there twice I was confident that the food is good and so is the ambience but last dinner was so dissatisfying the variety of dishes it was all mainly Indian cuisine and the taste was not upto the mark! Very disappointing taste wise! We asked for pasta made at the live station and it tasted so bland, I don’t know what when wrong because been coming there before and the food never disappointed so much like yesterday! The only good thing was the dessert counter they were nice! And the service is good the staff were very well behaved and kind but the food just killed the buzz!
We have been coming to Urban Kitchen regularly and it never disappoints. Food is great, selection might be snaller than the others but definitely is consistently good. Service is also topnotch, thanks to Luxman and Shwe who was attentive to us last night. Definitely one of the top 5 Abu Dhabi buffet spots on our list. I missed the Thai shrimp salad last night but the buffalo mozzarella salad was also yum..Bonus is that Zomato offers 50% off on prebooked visits to Urban Kitchen. However, its best to check with zomato and Urban Kitchen if they still run this promo prior to visit.
I was there for my birthday dinner, thank you team, the food was amazing, the service was fantastic
And overall experience was great, my sister was happy, she liked the place
Families get together, urban kitchen got you covered, just make your booking on time. Birthday day dinner, with friends is the best choice
I was offered a surprise of cake with a song of happy birthday and it was amazing
Alfredo's Wednesday at Urban Kitchen, located in the Dusit Hotel Abu Dhabi, offers an exceptional dining experience that blends authentic Italian flavors with a modern twist. The ambiance is elegant yet cozy, making it a perfect mid-week retreat.

The pasta is cooked to perfection, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. The wood-fired pizzas are a must-try, with a perfect balance of crispy crust and gooey cheese.
The service is impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings. Their recommendations elevate the dining experience, ensuring that every guest feels well taken care of.
The live cooking stations add an interactive element to the evening, allowing guests to watch as their dishes are prepared with skill and precision. This, combined with the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, makes Alfredo's Wednesday at Urban Kitchen a standout choice for Italian cuisine in Abu Dhabi.
Overall, it's an evening of culinary delight that leaves a lasting impression, perfect for both casual diners and those celebrating a special occasion.
Urban Kitchen has an impressive buffet spread that caters to every palate.
The staffs are attentive and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience.
My husband and I spent my birthday here, adding to the highlight of my day were Urban Kitchen staffs singing a birthday song and my birthday cake.
We would definitely be back with friends and families.

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 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.

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.

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!

With over three decades of presence in the market, it has become a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is known for its delicious Kebab Khashkash and Shish Taouk, attracting an international clientele due to its exceptional fare.
This is my first review in Abu Dhabi and wow, what a great way to kick things off! The food was incredible. I had the best shawarma I’ve had in a long time! Super flavorful and a really generous portion. The place is clean, stylish, and the service was honestly a 10 out of 10.
I also loved the Fattoush, so fresh and beautifully presented. And the mint lemon juice? Just wow. So refreshing and packed with flavor.
Highly recommend - this place is next-level. Like, food-of-the-gods good!

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

Amazing Seafood & Great Service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It was my first visit to Dampa Seafood Grill—and as someone who’s not usually a seafood fan, I was genuinely surprised! The food completely changed my perspective. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The Dump-a-Seafeast was a total delight and didn’t disappoint at all.
A big thank you to Mr. Edward and Mr. Ace for their consistently excellent service—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.
One small suggestion: the waiting time outside in the summer heat can be tough. It would be great if something could be done to make that more comfortable.

Dampa Seafood Grill is amazing! The seafood is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The atmosphere is cozy and lively, and the staff are super friendly. Only suggestion: a few corners of the walls could use a fresh coat of paint to make the space even more stunning and photo-ready. Other than that, it’s a must-visit for seafood lovers in Abu Dhabi!
Very different from any usual restaurant. Staffs are very friendly and cooperative. The way they serve good is very interesting. We initially tried the restaurant seeing that and, really liked the food as well. I went there two times and both the times it was enjoyable.
Definitely would love to try their good, again.
Fantastic Seafood & Amazing Service!
We had an absolutely great dining experience at Dampa Seafood Grill! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions—perfect for sharing. The seafood boil was the highlight of our meal, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection.
What really made our visit memorable, though, was the excellent service from Mike, our server. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Mike’s recommendations were spot on, and he made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving seafood with a kick and great hospitality. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Big shoutout to Mr. Jayson of Dampa Seafood Grill for exceptional service! He was attentive, friendly, and super helpful with our order. Made our dining experience truly enjoyable. Kudos, Mr. Jayson! 👍👌
We had such a great time enjoying the delicious food! All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful truly the best!
Sometimes it can get crowded and there’s a bit of a wait for a table, but it’s worth it. Plus, they offer unlimited rice, which is a great bonus!
Dampa was good, there was a que. Service was fast. Cajun one was really good. Lemonades are delicious. Location is easier to access by taxi as parking areas a bit further. Price range is middle. Ambiance is 10/10
Great seafood boil with different flavors. The seafood was fresh, and the staff is amazing, especially Ryan. He is super friendly and attentive. There is a mix of clientele, which shows the food is suitable for different nationalities

Hankook Restaurant in Abu Dhabi offers affordable and authentic Korean cuisine, catering to both first-time diners and seasoned aficionados. The restaurant is known for its buzzy atmosphere and must-try dishes like the fried chicken wings with the option to add a sticky, sweet, and spicy sauce. Visitors also recommend trying the cheesy Tteokbokki with ramen and the crispy fried Mandu.
This is my 3rd visit. It was good. The male staff is kind and accommodating. The black lady who serves my food, no. She didn’t even say anything after serving my food. Not a good atmosphere for a solo customer.
I didn’t know I could get a discount during my birth month. Will definitely come back and try other dish.🥰

My fave korean restaurant in Abu Dhabi since 2016! Their Soondubu Jjigae (Soft Spicy Tofu Soup) is my favorite. Yang Nyeom is also delicious! Def will be back here again for korean cravings!
PS. So glad that after 8 years of being away in AUH, they still recognize me! 🥳♥️ I was asked if my order is still the same - Soondubu Jjigae! 😂✌️Thank you so much for the love!
Lovely Korean food. My favorite is fried baby octopus! Realyy delicious. Do not forget to ask for mayo sauce with it! It is good to note that they are renewing the side dishes!
For private rooms, you can book in advance!
A cozy spot for comforting Korean dishes. The Heamul Jjigae is flavorful and satisfying, while the variety of side dishes adds the perfect touch. It's always a great choice for a warm, hearty meal whenever I'm in Hankok.
The staff is kind and accommodating. Two weeks after my birthday, I was craving some hot soup to boost my mood. A staff member greeted me with a full smile and asked if I had celebrated my birthday recently. When I mentioned it, he offered me 20% off since it was still my birthday month. It was a delightful surprise! Hankok is always a top recommendation for Korean food in Abu Dhabi (located on Defense Road).
I love their food and atmosphere 😍😍 their ramen is so yummy and the meat is very fresh! They also give you a discount if it was your birthday month!
We got 3 dishes, the cheesy Tteokbokki (with ramen) and it was really great. It was my first time trying Ube Tteokbokki and I really enjoyed it. very much comfort food. We also got the fried Mandu which was crispy and delicious. As for the yangnyoem, the flavour was really good but unfortunately the chicken wasn’t crispy at all which was very disappointing. I’d definitely get it again but be sure to ask them to make it *extra* crispy. Overall, great place.
My favorite Korean food place. The place is lovely, the staff are quick and friendly and thr service is really good.
We dine in and order very often, and it’s always excellent! The food is fresh and tasty. The chef is korean, the food is very authentic and it brings very good memories. Highly recommend!

We dined at Famous Dave’s Al Wahda and had a wonderful experience. Dilshan, one of the staff members, was very accommodating and polite. Even though we ordered only a little, he was still attentive and happily fulfilled all our requests. The food was really delicious as well. Highly recommended to everyone!
The brisket is perfect for the price you pay and the quality of it is quite good for an affordable restaurant. The staff is very friendly and generous and provided us with extra sauces when asked for. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to have a bit of a more private dining experience at the busy Al Wahda Mall (which can get quite crowded during the weekends). We also had the side of House Salad which had a great tangy dressing and the sweet potato fries which were perfect to accompany our brisket as well as chicken wings with buffalo sauce! The parking at the mall was quite slow during rush hours. Took us around 15 minutes to enter the mall and park so I would recommend being prepared for that to not be dissapointed.
Loved the vibe here — it really felt like we were in Texas! The food was super tasty. Our first choice wasn’t available, but the one we picked instead turned out really good too. The staff were awesome — so friendly and polite. James was especially nice; he checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even explained our food choices. Great experience overall, can’t wait to come back!
Staffs (Ms. Dana & Mr. Ibrahim) was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out hot and on time, and the server checked in just enough. Atmosphere was casual and welcoming—great for a relaxed meal. And we got lemon juice on the house. Overall we enjoyed our dinner, and we definitely go back again. ☺️
Always walked past Famous Dave's and never entered as it looked so dark and only highlighted smoked meat which I don't like. Took a chance and entered today and it was a pleasant surprise.
The menu is varied so there is something for everyone even a picky eater like me.
The appetizer platter was excellent, well seasoned and piping hot. The burger we ordered was good but the patty could use more season and the bacon was not as crisp as I like.
Service from James was top notch, pleasant, friendly yet professional.
One extra thing, unlike certain places they were willing to exchange one appetizer from the platter for more of another. Food came out very quick.
The chocolate brownie dessert was amazing and the prices today was only 25 dirhams.
If you are in Al Wahda, don't be like the old me., go give it a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
We decided to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary at Famous Dave.
Each bite had perfect seasoning and tasted fresh. I will definitely return to try more
The service at famous dave is excellent!" The staff is polite and attentive, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience.
Thank you Mr. James & Mr Dilshan
Loved it. Ambience amazing. Great food. Huge portions. Mr Dilshan was very helpful in explaining everything . Will definitely be coming back again.

Evergreen Restaurant Veg. is a delightful gem located in the bustling heart of Abu Dhabi, perfect for those who appreciate authentic vegetarian cuisine. This charming eatery specializes in Gujarati thali, offering an array of flavorful curries served alongside hot, fried bread on silver platters. The dining experience here is unique; rather than perusing a menu, guests simply indicate how many people are dining and are treated to unlimited servings—ideal for gathering with friends after a lively night out.
We ordered Normal Thali, Shev puri, Pav Bhaji,Dosa and Gulab Jamun. The food was lip smacking and yummy. We couldn’t stop eating and at till our neck. Service was prompt and soft spoken. It is crowded but because it’s budget eatery this is expected.

We had chaat cravings late evening and as always Google maps had a great recommendation 🥰.
We ordered a plate of samosas, dahi puri, papdi chaat and golgappas aka pani puri.
The gentleman who served us was very friendly and the food was delicious.
Though we didn’t order, the thali seemed delicious and definitely trying that next time 😃
Overall a great experience and worth a repeat 🫡
Visited Evergreen Restaurant (Electra Branch) recently and tried the dosa and onion ottappam,which was crisp and light, while the onion ottappam had a good flavor. Service was quick, and the staff were polite. Overall, a good place for a simple meal in the Electra area.
The Gujarati food was so amazing like home
And the taste was same as Gujarat
It is very well known for its Gujarati thali which is unlimited. Definitely recommend for those who are missing home food,
Apologies for the late pictures—we clicked them after we had nearly finished our food.
We dined at Evergreen Restaurant, a pure vegetarian spot, and opted for the family room upstairs. To our surprise, it was about 80% full, which speaks to its popularity. The menu offers a wide variety, from fixed thalis to chaat and South Indian dishes.
The service was quick, and we ordered:
1. Pav Bhaji
2. Ragda Samosa
3. Papdi Chaat
The Ragda Samosa was excellent in taste, highly recommended. However, the Pav Bhaji was disappointing—the vegetables were whole instead of being crushed, as is traditional, also the pav were oven backed. The Papdi Chaat lacked the classic crispy papdi, instead using crushed puris.
The fixed thali seems to be their best-seller, but due to their no-sharing policy, we opted for the à la carte menu.
For vegetarians, this is a decent option with a variety of choices. However, I did experience acidity about an hour after eating, which is unusual for me.
Their Thali system is really good. However, I don't like the menu for Saturday and Sunday here that much in comparison to other days. If you are planning to taste their Thali, you can visit between Monday to Thursday here. Tried there jalebi too, not that great. 6/10
Evergreen is a true gem for anyone who loves classic Indian comfort food. From their chaats to thalis, everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and consistent every time. Been a regular here for their samosa chaats, pani puris, and pakoras. The place has that old-school charm where you know exactly what to expect: good food, generous portions, and quick service.
Their sweets section is also worth exploring, especially if you have a soft spot for traditional Indian mithai.
It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you come back simply for the familiarity of taste.
Just cheap small hearted staffs. I went sharp at 2.59pm and they say time up can't serve lunch. How low can they stoop down to? Any human being would show some courtesy to feed and mind you i showed them their wall clock showing clock hitting 3pm now...
It shows their heart while making such food.
Never will I suggest this place nor will I step in.. don't call yourselves human being pls..
Hell for you guys..

Actually it was my birthday, my daughter’s baptism, and my marriage on that day 22-05-25. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were a whole package of greatest experience as we have. Thank you so much Max’s Restaurant and Kuya Tino for making our special day an unforgettable celebration with our family and friends.
Max's Restaurant in Abu Dhabi is a reliable spot for Filipino comfort food. Their Chicken Sisig is flavorful and a definite highlight. The Kare-Kare offers a rich, satisfying peanut sauce with tender meat. As expected, their signature Whole Chicken is perfectly crispy and juicy. And for a tangy kick, the Sinigang na Hipon hits the spot with its vibrant broth and well-cooked shrimp. It's a consistently good choice for classic Filipino dishes.
We had lunch at Max’s Restaurant and really enjoyed the ambiance—it’s clean, welcoming, and gives off true Filipino vibes. The food overall was good. However, the half chicken we ordered tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly fried, which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for the same flavor I’ve come to love from Max’s in the Philippines.
On the brighter side, the sisig was really tasty and served hot, just the way it should be. The halo-halo is a must-try—it’s refreshing and hits the spot. We also enjoyed the ube macapuno cake as a dessert; it was a great sweet ending to the meal.
Service was excellent and very fast(5star), big thanks to Tino and Moises for the great hospitality!
I’m giving 4 stars, with hope that the chicken improves next time. Still a good dining experience overall!
Delicious Filipino comfort food! The fried chicken was tender inside with a crispy, golden skin, and the bulalo was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Both dishes really hit the spot. Big shoutout to Mr. Tino and Ariel, they were friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed. Service like theirs makes all the difference. Will definitely be coming back!👏🏻🎉

Hot Palayok Restaurant & Grill, located in Madinat Zayed, Abu Dhabi, takes its name from the traditional Filipino clay pot called palayok. This buffet-style restaurant offers a wide range of authentic Pinoy dishes, such as kare-kare, Bicol express, kalderetang baka, binagoongang baka, spicy beef ribs, and other popular Filipino favorites.
I recently had Hot Palayok Restaurant & Grill cater an event at home, and I couldn’t be more pleased! The manager was so accommodating, making sure everything went smoothly. The food was amazing—delicious, fresh, and served in generous portions. Everyone loved it! I highly recommend Hot Palayok for anyone looking for top-notch catering!

The most disgusting buffet I’ve ever been to! Even one star is too much, the quality of the food is awful. We went there for lunch and paid something around 30,50 dirhams per person for the buffet. Before taking seat, the girl at the entrance suggested to have a walk inside and decide whether we want to stay. We had a walk and the food looked fine, nothing alarming as far as the eye could see. However, the horror started when we began to eat, some things were cold, tasteless, and others had some strange things inside (making reference to the curry). The only thing that we could eat were the shrimps and thanks God we didn’t get food poisoning.
The only downside is the atmosphere - Music is so loud! And the choice of music is giving cheap vibe. Not suitable for eating. Food is good for the price! I enjoyed it. I like that they dont only offer filipino food but also other southeast asian food. The staff are really nice and accommodating.
Customer Service is great. They are friendly and they make sure we have the satisfaction at everything. Food options and variety are numerous. All kinds are available!! Kare-kare was really good and tasty. Sushi are also at par with hotel buffets I visited.
Location is easily well-spotted. Ambiance and atmosphere are perfect especially the music. I felt like I was back in a nice resto in the Philippines 🥺🥹💟
We will definitely come back 💯
Hot Palayok in Madinat Zayed Mall is one of my favorite places to enjoy authentic Filipino food in Abu Dhabi. Their Kare-Kare is absolutely delicious – rich, creamy, and so comforting, it tastes just like home. The meat is tender, the veggies are fresh, and the peanut sauce is cooked perfectly.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the prices are reasonable for the generous portions. Every time I visit, I leave full and satisfied. If you’re craving real Filipino dishes, this is definitely the spot to check out!
I was with my friends in Hot palayok for dinner, the place amazing and yummy traditional Filipino food.,food was tastey, good value for money.. staff very attentive mostly Ricky .. thank you Sir for your good service in our table .. you look after with us for good service. Keep it up!!! This place is recommendable and value for money. Thank you for the great experience.
We used to dine, even no occasions, or moments, events, esp. Birthday surprise, at first I spoke with the mngr, name, "Mary Ann" & "Michael," .

Had an amazing experience at "HOT PALAYOK" the food absolutely delicious & the staff's hospitality was top- notch. Friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed...
Highly recommend, thanks a lot.. 😊
For sure we're coming back
Hoping for more variation of foods...
Ate Stella was absolutely phenomenal! She went above and beyond with her warmth, friendliness, and genuine care—it felt like being welcomed by family. The place itself was breathtaking, and the food? Truly out of this world—every bite was spectacular, unforgettable, and worth raving about!

Located near the Russian Embassy, MERCURY CAFETERIA offers a variety of affordable and flavorful Russian and Uzbek dishes. The menu includes huge salads, pancakes with cabbage, and meat pies at budget-friendly prices. Visitors praise the rustic homemade food that hits all the spots, particularly recommending the lagman noodles paired with sautéed veggies and beef. While some note a lack of vegetarian options, others rave about the extensive menu and highly recommend trying the samosas and compot.
Honestly the best food i have ever tasted probably,this restaurant is owned by a Uzbek family, they know how to treat customers well and even the ubzek uncle speaks arabic whenever there’s a Arab customer, nice and friendly people they have alot of options on the menu great dumplings!

authentic kitchen food. love it. I tried my first russian/uzbekistan dishes. absolutely worth it! thank you for the food experience!
A true hidden gem in Abu Dhabi
Amazing Russian and Uzbek food, everything we had was amazing, super flavourful and cheap also
Couldn't fault the place except for the lack of vegetarian options
Specially in UAE, you can't find such a good restaurant easily, foods are very tasty, and stuff is very kind, You have to try if you want to taste uzbek (turkish) and central asia cuisine
Have come here 3 times over a very short period of time and loved it every time! The food is delicious, hand made, home cooked and amazing every time we have come! My partner is from Kyrgyzstan so this is the food she’s grown up with and she loves this restaurant. If we lived closer we’d be eating here even more often! If you come across this, make sure you try, truly a hidden gem in Abu Dhabi!!!
Found a metal pin in the food.
I’m glad that didn’t swallow it occasionally.
Don’t recommend it, be careful
Fantastic, super authentic Russian and Uzbek restaurant with an extensive menu and great prices. Highly recommend the Lagman noodles and samosas, and the compot is amazing!
Nestled in the heart of Abu Dhabi, Mercury Cafeteria stands as a beacon of comfort and familiarity for the Russian-speaking community seeking a taste of home. Situated conveniently next to the Russian embassy, it offers a culinary oasis reminiscent of ex-soviet flavors at an affordable price point.
As a frequenter of Mercury Cafeteria, I can attest to its authenticity and consistency. Having visited on multiple occasions, I have yet to be disappointed, particularly by their pelmeni and soup combination, which consistently delivers on taste and satisfaction.
One of the standout features of Mercury Cafeteria is its dedication to offering a diverse range of popular ex-Soviet dishes, catering to the varied palates of its clientele. Whether you're craving traditional borscht, hearty dumplings, or comforting stews, this eatery delivers with aplomb.
In a city where options for CIS cuisine are limited and often exorbitantly priced, Mercury Cafeteria fills a significant void. While other establishments may offer similar fare, none quite capture the authenticity and affordability of Mercury Cafeteria.
Overall, Mercury Cafeteria is a gem for the Russian-speaking community in Abu Dhabi, providing a welcoming ambiance, delicious fare, and reasonable prices. Whether you're a homesick expatriate or a curious foodie, this restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey through the flavors of the former Soviet Union.

Tazal, nestled in the vibrant Al Qana, is a culinary gem that beautifully marries global flavors with an Arabic twist. This stylish eatery offers an all-day dining experience where breakfast dreams come true with eggs served alongside your choice of sourdough or tabbon bread. As evening falls, indulge in unique dishes like chicken quesadillas crafted from traditional Middle Eastern kaak bread and sweet short ribs paired with couscous and fruit tagine sauce.
Every food item we ordered was delicious! No misses! Really attentive staff, though the food took a bit of time to arrive; granted we were a party of 15 (reserved a table a few days in advance). Thanks to Said for his great service. Overall great dining experience. Will definitely be back!

My experience at Tazal was absolutely amazing 👌🏼
The food quality is excellent and the taste is truly delicious, with fresh and carefully selected ingredients.
The service was outstanding, especially Sam, who was very friendly and helpful, making sure our experience was comfortable and enjoyable.
Definitely a place worth visiting, and for sure an experience I’d love to repeat again and again
Many thanks to Abeer and Yousif for the friendly attitude and assistance..
Excellent food and friendly service! Highly recommend this place.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Everything was perfect!
Delicious dishes, clean environment, and very welcoming staff.
Loved the food and atmosphere. Will definitely come back!
Great taste, generous portions, and reasonable prices. 5 stars!
I recently visited Tazal restaurant and had an absolutely refreshing and nourishing experience. I started with an açaí smoothie and a green smoothie — both were perfectly balanced, fresh, and packed with flavor. The açaí was rich and fruity without being overly sweet, while the green smoothie had just the right touch of zest and earthiness.
The salad selection was equally impressive — vibrant, colorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Each option had its own character, from light and crisp to hearty and wholesome.
For the main course, I tried the Thai cod served on black rice, and it was outstanding. The fish was cooked beautifully — tender and full of flavor, with Thai spices that complemented rather than overpowered. The black rice added a lovely texture and a nutty finish to the dish.
Overall, this place combines health-conscious dining with bold flavors and excellent presentation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fresh and satisfying meal!
Here in Abu Dhabi for a short stay. Took in The National Aquarium and ventured next door to Tazal Restaurant & Cafe. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was not disappointed.
I can see why they were awarded a Michelin star as the ambiance, food and service by Sayed was unbelievable.
Highly recommend to locals and tourists alike. Great value for the money but better yet, the staff understand what true customer service is.
Thank you for a great experience. Shall return another time when visiting the UAE.

Had an amazing time at Tazal! We were celebrating something special and honestly couldn't have picked a better place. The vibe was just right, not too fancy but definitely felt special enough for our occasion.
The staff were absolutely lovely. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Our server was great too, really made us feel taken care of without being pushy.
We went a bit overboard with ordering but everything was so good! Got the lava mixed grill which was incredible, some pasta that hit the spot, chicken tenders and fries (sometimes you just need the classics!), saffron rice that was perfectly seasoned, and a quesadilla that disappeared way too quickly. Oh, and the passion mojito, wow, that was refreshing and exactly what I needed. The salad was a great addition, too.
The whole experience just felt right, you know? Good food, great people working there, and the perfect atmosphere for celebrating. We were there for a couple hours and never felt rushed.
Definitely coming back soon. If you're looking for a place that does good food with a nice atmosphere and friendly service, Tazal is your spot!
Fantastic experience every time! The coffee is always spot-on, breakfast is fresh and delicious, the entire menu offers great variety with amazing flavors. The staffs are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to start the day or enjoy a meal any time. Highly recommended.
Really good service provided by the lovely Sam! Really great setting! Food was good! Nutella cheesecake was very yummy! Would recommend!

Al Dhafra Restaurant مطعم الظفرة is a beloved spot in Abu Dhabi, offering authentic Emirati cuisine. It's known for its traditional rice dishes like lamb ghouzi and machboos, as well as sweet treats such as luqaimat. The restaurant provides generous portions at affordable prices, making it a popular choice for families and groups. With friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere, Al Dhafra offers a fantastic dining experience.
Such a good all round experience. So refreshing to have staff that don't hover and yet available when you need them. Food was exceptional. The seafood bar allows you to choose your fish and have it cooked how you want it. Was doubtful but completely floored when it arrived- well plated and so yummy! We didn't go for the buffet asked which looked slaying displayed on a boat like table. But opted for jumbo prawns and grilled salmon from the seafood bar. Also indulged in a mixed grill. Free round of welcome drinks and after meal tea. The ambience is warm and adorned with heritage elements and vintage photos from Sheikh Zayeds time reflecting on the early Abu Dhabi days. Really, we loved it all. Thank you, we are coming back with friends.

Delicious Local Food and Great Service!
I absolutely loved this place! The food is authentic Emirati cuisine, full of flavour and beautifully presented. Dish I tried was delicious and felt truly homemade.
A special thank you to the waitress Jo Ann who served us — she was very friendly, always smiling, and extremely helpful, which made the experience even better.
Highly recommended if you want to enjoy great local food with excellent service!
Delicious food and ambiance. You are picked up from the parking lot in a golf buggy and driven to the entrance of the restaurant, which isn’t far at all, but it already puts you in the mood, you are then welcome by a team who walks you through the concept and menu - think high calibre buffet, I would definitely recommend seafood, someone will walk you through their fishmonger style installation and introduce all the fish and shellfish, they have a lot of local produces. Depending on what you pick they will recommend style of cooking while still giving you options, would definitely recommend to say yes to spicy if they suggest it. We went for prawn and seabass and it was absolutely delicious. While your food is being cooked, you can choose to go for the soup and/or salad buffet, which I would again recommend. Once your meal is over, you can have mint tea, dates and a selection of desserts. Everything was scrumptious, I would very highly recommend if you are ever in the area.
We always eat at this place whenever we come to Abu Dhabi. The food is very delicious, the portions are huge, and the staff are extremely friendly. I especially want to mention Mr. Muhammad, who serves tea and coffee such a kind, warm, and attentive man. It’s always a pleasure to come back here. Wishing you continued success!
We had a wonderful evening with delicious food and outstanding service from Salah.
We decided to take the Seafood Menu premium, which I would recommend to every seafood lover. We will definitely come back
We had dinner here and it was amazing, the grills, and the local food was really tasty for example, the Shrimp Madfoon and the Mix grill. The staff were very helpful and kind. 5 star experience for sure! 🍗🍲🍤
✨ Al Dhafra Restaurant – Abu Dhabi ✨
If you’re in Abu Dhabi and craving authentic seafood, Al Dhafra Restaurant should be on your list. Known as one of the city’s oldest seafood spots, it beautifully blends tradition with flavor.
Their soup, salad & dessert buffet is reasonably priced at AED 70, while the salad-only buffet comes at AED 30 – a great option for lighter eaters.
Now to the stars of the show – the freshly grilled tiger prawns (an easy 10/10) and the salmon BBQ, cooked to absolute perfection. Every bite was juicy, flavorful, and truly worth the visit.
But what really makes this place shine is the service. The staff are incredibly polite and friendly, adding warmth to the dining experience.
💡 Foodie Tip: Come hungry – the buffet and grills make it hard to stop at just one plate!
✅ Overall: A must-visit for seafood lovers in Abu Dhabi.
The food here is really good and always tastes fresh. The service is excellent—fast, friendly, and attentive. Special thanks to Lorie,Joan,Salah and Jansen for making the experience even better with their great service. Prices are very justifiable for the quality you get. Truly one of the best dining experiences, highly recommended!

Discover the budget-friendly delights of Malaysian street food at Kopitiam by Chandy's in Abu Dhabi. This cozy spot offers a limited but delicious menu, featuring must-try dishes like Nasi Lemak and Char Kway Teow. Chef Chandy's warm hospitality adds to the experience, as he guides you through the flavors of curry laksa and Penang prawn mee.
Another day around Abu Dhabi as tourists from Bahrain led to another search for its 'hidden food gems'. But this banger of a restaurant is anything but hidden!
Falling in the affordable to barely expensive pricing range, this Malaysian restaurant won our hearts through their soulful dishes which filled our hearts, souls and tummies!
The atmosphere, friendly and tuned in staff along with Chef Chandy, passing by your table to ensure that you have all you need + taking in your live feedback was a pleasant change from the most nonchalant restaurants we come across today.
As this was our first time trying the Malaysian cuisine, we made sure to take cues from the restaurant managers' recommendations; which led to (pictures attached in order):
Started off with two cold but yummy and fresh beverages:
-Old Town Nan Yang Kopi Ais (Malaysian iced coffee)
-Cincau (Grass Jelly Drink)
Starter:
-Prawn Har Gao dimsum
Main:
-Roti Jala (from the all day breakfast section)
-Curry Laksa
-Penang Char Kway Teow
Dessert:
Mixed bao buns (absolutely delish!)
Ended with:
4S Lemonade as a takeaway
The food had a flair and touch of well thought out blend of mixtures of spices, ingredients and no fuss but elevated plating.
It all felt like a solid beautiful marriage of the flavors we've come to know and love from the South Indian region; namely Mangalorean with Goan and influence; all while checking off the true Malaysian Cuisine tastes we've read of. Phew! It was a joy ride to devour with hubby and bubs! No wonder it's a Michelin star and Time out award holder - totally deserving of both!
Note: Before we placed order for the starter and mains, we made sure to get the chilli sambal sauce on the side to sprinkle over everything! We also asked for their regular/ normal level of spice because we, along with our 6 year old son, are okay with high levels of spice range, but the food was not spicy (to us), it was just perfect!
Highly recommend this gem of a place for a chilled out lunch/ date night/ dine out with your kid(s) in tow. Easy to find and a must visit with family/ loved ones, especially if you're trying this cuisine for the first time!

I had such a great experience here! The food was delicious, full of authentic Malaysian flavors, and very affordable. Every dish felt like real comfort food done right. The chef was approachable and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I do hope they can extend their place for more dining areas, since it gets full quickly — but thank you for still giving us space even when it was a full house. Definitely a spot I’d recommend and come back to often!
Great food, I really want to come back soon and try everything! Small (could seat 20) and cozy atmosphere with attentive staff who were super helpful in ordering and helping serve since I haven't eaten much Malaysian/ Singaporean food. Owner and chef came out and said hi to everyone in the resteraunt which was a nice touch.
Breakfast Combo - 30Dhs [8.5/10]
Super simple meal but so good. Never tried kaya toast but it goes so well with the soft boiled egg. Would definitely come back for this
Roti Jala - 25Dhs [7/10]
The chicken curry tasted great! Good and interesting heat, just a little small (but at the price, I get it). The Roti/ pancake was very interesting, the first time I've had anything like it. Since I'm unfamiliar with it, I'm basing my opinion purely on what I thought of it. Felt fun to eat and taste was good but not very strong so I couldn't fully tell. Was nice with the curry but I think I would've gone with a paratha, so the next time I'm here I'll definitely try it
Overall really enjoyed this place and would come back again. I'd even make a trip all the way from Dubai.
Kopitiam by Chandy’s is a true hidden gem in Abu Dhabi. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and hospitable service - the staff constantly checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. You can really feel they care about the guest experience.
The food was absolutely delicious. Everything I tried - from the flavorful soups to the rich main dishes and delightful desserts - was spot on. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. It’s rare to find Malaysian cuisine done this well outside of Malaysia.
I missed Singaporean food so I was delighted to see Kopitiam by Chandy’s on Michelin Guide, as I didn’t know there was a Malaysian restaurant in Abu Dhabi. All of the food is really good and has flavours that are seen back in Singapore 💗 The manager told me that Singaporeans often come here and I can see why! The interior is really cute and simple which works really well! I think selling some souvenirs or products from Malaysia in a little corner might be a good idea since a lot of ppl come here to taste home!
It was our first time eating here and we’re sort kf expecting more (maybe) because we’ve heard a lot of good things about this place.
Well generally the place is nice, clean and aesthetic given the fact that they only have a limited space. I’ll tive that to them! 👍🏼
For the food, we ordered to sai and it arrived hot and crispy as it should be. The flat noodles (I forgot the name of the dish) tasted okay but the noodles were all broken/cut into very small pieces and I’m pretty sure it should not be like that. Their curry laksa whom I was told to be one of their best seller was too milky too and I couldn’t taste much of the curry already.
Some of our friends ordered Nasi Gorend Kampung and they said it was their favorite among everything they ordered.
All in all it was a good time trying out their food!
We had a wonderful experience at Kopitiam by Chandy’s! We ordered Roti Bakar, Karipap, Kangkung, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Goreng Ayam, and Teh O Ais — every dish was flavorful, authentic, and perfectly prepared.
The food was absolutely delicious and definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended for anyone who loves genuine Malaysian cuisine!
This is the best Malaysian restaurant in the entire Abu Dhabi. Multiple award winning restaurant and is recommended by Michelin. Please be prepared to wait sometimes as this restaurant is high in demand. It’s a small cosy restaurant, so sometimes it gets full quickly. If you are not willing to wait, it is your loss because many people are willing to queue and wait. Many times we volunteered to wait until we got a table of our choice. We brought many family and friends here and then they became returning customers.
Food
The food has an authentic taste while having its own original twist to the best Malaysian delicacies. Very high quality ingredients. Quality control is strict as this place has been consistent with each of my visit. This place is always packed not only with Malaysians, but people of different nationalities. Food tastes brilliant. Prices are super fair and reasonable, portions are suitable.
Ambience & Hygiene
The restaurant has a unique pleasant ambience that represents essence of what a kopitiam is. Kopitiam directly translates to coffee shop and is a huge part of Malaysian culture.
Tables are cleaned immediately and frequently.
The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays for cleaning and maintenance. Staff are very neatly dressed. Restaurant is very clean and the washroom is also very presentable.
The kitchen is visible and the kitchen crew is efficient and wear masks. Kitchen is super clean.
Staff & Service
All the staff members from the service crew have excellent product knowledge. They take the time to explain each dish and even show pictures from an IPad. Staff members are very kind, very polite, very welcoming and very hospitable. Service is excellent. Staff make good recommendations and suggestions.
The chef is available on most days and goes table to table to greet customers. The chef also explains each dish thoroughly if needed.

Armenian restaurant
Lahmajoon is a Lebanese restaurant that offers delicious food at affordable prices. Some of the dishes on the menu include vayri baljan, Armenian sujukh, and reman lahmajoon. The restaurant also has a variety of salads to choose from. The staff are always willing to help explain the food if you have any questions. Dougg is a soft and tasty Armenian cheese that is perfect for topping off your meal.
I was on the hunt for Khachapuri a Georgian boat-shaped bread loaded with cheese and topped with egg yolk and came across this Armenian takeaway bakery based on positive reviews. They offer a variety of pastries, Manakish, so I decided to stop by and try a few items: Khachapuri, Armenian Lahmajoon, Zaatar, and Mixed Fatayer.
While the place is strictly takeaway with no dine-in option which is a slight drawback since most of these items are best enjoyed fresh and hot the overall experience was quite good. Everything I ordered was flavorful and well-made.
Although, I do have a small suggestion: the cheese used, specially in the Khachapuri, was quite salty. It would really enhance the flavor if the cheese were shredded and rinsed through water to reduce the salt content before baking, also the egg yolk was well done although it has to be melting so it can be merge with the Cheese. The Lahmajoon also leaned towards the saltier side. A bit of balance here could elevate the taste even more.
Additionally, a kind reminder to fellow customers: please avoid honking your car horn to place an order. As a gesture of courtesy and respect for the hardworking staff, kindly step out of your vehicle or place your order by phone in advance.
Overall, a great spot for freshly baked Armenian and regional pastries definitely worth a try..

Fresh, healthy and tasty food. I highly recommend it. Only for takeaway, my advice to call and place your order prior your physical arrival.
Managed by South Caucasus residents, Lahmajoon cafeteria brings these three countries’ flavours in Abu Dhabi. Some of the famous South Caucasus dishes: Lahmajoon (Lahmacun), Khachapuri, Vayri Beljan, Cinnamon Sako, Tan, etc. are served in Lahmajoon cafeteria. The flavours of each dish are real, original, and natural; the packaging is apt, and service is prompt.

Customers can customize their orders with various ingredients such as cilantro rice, shredded chicken, a range of salsas from mild to hot, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.

Fantastic Mexican food. I loved their chicken adobe street taco deal. Delicious tacos. I liked the cilantro rice. The chips were good as well. Totally recommend. I like it so much i ordered their so cal burrito to eat later.
I would say it's the best Mexican place in AD.
I would definitely come if they had a sit down restaurant so i could order a margarita and eat chips and salsa.
Parking is a little tough however, but i love the idea of street food like this. I hope they expand.
Also very nice staff. It felt like Mexican food back home and they even gave me their hot sauce as well. 😍

Buro Blanco is a great spot for takeaway!
The food is always fresh, tasty, and well-packed. Even though they only serve takeaway, the quality and flavor are excellent every time. Service is quick, friendly, and professional.
I tried both types of wings they have, it was good and I liked the spicy one more, the other one has a hint of sweet to it. The chicken strips tacos were good and it had a lot of different flavors and had some mango pieces as well. Good option of you’re craving Mexican food. This location doesn’t have a dining in area it’s just a pickup kitchen
I came here the other night because I was craving tacos. I came back because of how I was treated the first time. The staff here are tremendously welcoming and the food is great as well. If you want a place with great food and a great atmosphere, this is the place for you.
Nice place, good food, a big variety even if you are vegetarian, staff is really helpful. Prices are completely reasonable. It is very near the center of the city . We liked it a lot! There also meals specially for children.
I was craving for some mexican burrito bowls for lunch and I came across Burro Blanco and decided to place an order for a burrito bowl .
The ingredients added to the burrito bowl are customizable according to your preferences .
I preferred to order cilantro rice as base , shredded chicken as my protein . Also , they are are range of salsa choices from less spicy to hot . I preferred a smoky chipotle salsa .
Also I added some zesty black peans and pico de gallo with some guacamole and sour cream as well .
The ingredients tasted fresh and overall taste of the burrito bowl was delicious. The quantity is good enough for the price and the food is packaged safely.

Chinese restaurant
Dragon Bao Bao Restaurant龙包包中餐 is a new cafeteria in the capital that stands out for serving hand-pulled noodles, also known as Lanzhou lamian. The restaurant's specialty is hand-pulled noodles in beef broth, with an option for refills on either noodles or beef. The budget-friendly eatery features traditional Chinese decor and friendly staff who can guide you through their extensive menu of cheap eats and quick bites.
Although I’m not typically a fan of Chinese cuisine, I decided to give this restaurant a try—and I’m glad I did.
The place is quite small, with only seven dining tables, which makes it less ideal for large gatherings. However, what it lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in flavor. The dishes served here offer a unique taste that I haven’t experienced elsewhere, setting it apart from other Chinese restaurants I’ve tried.
In fact, if I were to compare it with Din Tai Fung, I would choose this one without hesitation. Their bao bao, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. Every dish I ordered exceeded my expectations, and I left feeling genuinely satisfied.
The staff were also worth mentioning—they were friendly, attentive, and efficient, which contributed to the overall positive dining experience.
Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone looking to try something new and authentic. Despite its limited seating, the quality of food and service makes it well worth a visit.

The food was superb, not only in taste but also in the way it perfectly suited its purpose, offering both quality and satisfaction. Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The portion sizes were very generous, making the meal not only enjoyable but also excellent value, leaving guests feeling full and content. What truly enhanced the experience was the staff and crew, who were consistently attentive, friendly, and eager to assist. Their professionalism and warm hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made the dining experience even more memorable. Overall, the combination of excellent food, generous servings, and outstanding service made the experience highly commendable.
Delicious china foods in Abu Dhabi ever . Husband and I love their foods so much. The only things is the space is too small, not suitable to bring toddles over with baby stroller. 😭
Bao buns are great no wonder it's Name was Dragon Bao Bao sounds cute and they serves really great Chinese food varieties in affordable price. However lunch and dinner time could be crowed at times. Stir fry beef with egg and black mushroom is really great I highly recommend it.
One of the best Japanese-style unlimited hotpot and drinks experiences in Abu Dhabi! The food was incredibly tasty and satisfying. I especially loved the spicy soup with noodles. It really hit the spot and completely satisfied my cravings. The place is also very affordable and offers great value for money. Highly recommended for hotpot lovers!
Food is delicious and the price are not expensive we really enjoy our dinner in this restaurant , I would recommend you to try their stir fry beans. It’s super delicious
We ordered Fried Beef with Green Peppers expecting regular beef, but what we got was beef tripe instead – chewy, rubbery, and unpleasant to eat. The chicken noodles and fried rice were completely bland, with no flavor at all. To make things worse, when we asked for glasses for our drinks, they brought us tiny disposable plastic cups, barely 50 ml. Overall, the entire experience was disappointing from start to finish. Definitely not recommended
This has become our family’s go-to spot. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve eaten here. The staffs are friendly too. Always satisfied with the food and service.

Al Sultan Restaurant & Grill in Abu Dhabi is a beloved spot for Lebanese cuisine, offering a variety of hot and cold mezzes, flavorful grills, and an array of seafood dishes. The restaurant's commitment to using fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods has earned it a loyal following. Located in Al Danah, the restaurant provides a pocket-friendly dining experience with delicious food. While the indoor seating can be crowded, the outdoor area offers a more pleasant atmosphere.
I visited Al Sultan Restaurant & Grill during the day, and the place was fully packed – a clear sign of how popular it is. The food definitely lived up to the hype. I tried the mixed grill and the hearts, and both were incredibly juicy and flavorful, especially when paired with their fresh bread and garlic sauce. The restaurant itself is not very big, so there’s a good chance you’ll end up sitting close to other guests, but honestly, the amazing taste makes it well worth it.

The food was really good! The grilled dishes were flavorful, fresh, and well-cooked, especially the mutton arayesh and kebab was soo good and the service was fast and friendly. The overall atmosphere was nice, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.
However, the only issue we faced was with the seating. While we were sitting and were about to eat with my colleagues, water suddenly started dripping from the ceiling onto our table, which was a bit unexpected and uncomfortable. The staff was quick to help, but it did affect the experience.
Other than that, everything else was great. If they fix the seating issues, it would be a perfect spot for delicious grilled food
No.1 Laham 🐑 Place in Abudhabi.
This Iconic food spot is famous among locals and expats from 70’s . No fancy interiors or ambience.
But their Arayes and Mutton Chops 🔥
Must Must try
Around 30 of a kabab dish wash enough to share for 2. We had the kabab and chicken, came with hummus, mutabbal, pickles, and chili paste. Also got laban and pepsi.
Indoors and outdoors seating. Recommend!
Ordered Arayes, grilled kebabs, and mutton tikka from Sultan. The food has that authentic, traditional taste that they’re known for. The kebabs are juicy and flavorful, the tikkas absolutely mouth-watering, and the Arayes are perfectly done. Sultan is one of the oldest and best spots in Abu Dhabi for grills, and their quality never disappoints. The only downside is that they’ve increased their prices, which makes it a bit tough for regular customers.
My favourite grill place in Abu Dhabi , very tasty food , good service
More attention needed for restaurant hygiene
Price $$$
Will always come back 🙌
Alhamdulillah Today I eat meat kebab and bbq meat tika from here, it was very delicious. It is the oldest shop in Abu Dhabi. The meat had its own flavor. ❤️ mashaa allah. The staff was very nice and friendly. ❤️Their Arabic bread had a unique flavor.
A very good place for real Arabic Kebabs and BBQ items. Food taste is really good and has something unforgettable in their recipes. Hummus and Garlic paste have very different taste and texture. Kebabs are really good with enriched aroma of spices and fresh herbs you can feel. Overall good experience and recommended

Located on the busy Hamdan Street, right opposite Liwa Center, Bait El Khetyar sits in the heart of the city’s hustle and bustle. The service was quick and efficient, and the staff were friendly. We tried the Musakhan chicken roll, full of flavor and absolutely delicious. Great value for money and a perfect spot for a quick, fresh bite in the city center.
I found a tempting 50% discount and free delivery on Careem, saw Beit El Khetyar – Hamdan and remembered all the shiny ads I’d seen everywhere — so I thought, let’s give it a try .
Well… I wish I didn’t. Lost my money and my appetite 🤦🏻♀️
• Chicken Liver Sandwich: the liver was fresh and nicely cooked, but the sandwich was completely dry — no tahini, no hummus, not even a drop of garlic sauce. Just dry bread and silence , 2/5 .
• Chicken Escalope Sandwich: very average — nothing impressive about it; definitely not something I’d repeat , 2/5 .
• Beef & Potato Sandwich: from the name, you’d expect something fancy — but it’s just minced meat with egg, tomato, pickles, and something white — not sure if it was cheese or labneh — but there was no salt, no flavor, nothing. The taste was weird and not really clear , 1/5 .
• Cheese & Meat Manoushe: I ordered meat with cheese, but got cheese with zaatar. The dough was soft, I’ll admit, but I don’t eat zaatar — so that was pointless .
Final thoughts?
For a restaurant that invests so much in advertising, maybe try investing a little in bread that isn’t dry and old. Every sandwich felt like a struggle 🥴
First time ordering, and definitely the last 👎🏻
Delicious local food! Would recommend if you need a good lunch for fantastic value whilst exploring Abu Dhabi. I think we paid around 40 diram for a hummous plate (bread and veg included, more than enough for 1 person, a sharer really), a chicken shawarma, and two soft drinks. Fantastic service too, even during a busy time.
What an amazing place for local food!
We are from Mexico and I can say this was full of flavour.
Shawarma chicken and beef were delicious.
Arabic foods fresh and delicious.I took "Fatteh with yogurt" and "Chicken BBQ"..Both were new in the taste
I visited Bait El Khetyar and ordered a Shawarma Arabi and a mojito. I asked the waitress if my shawarma could be a mix of meat and chicken, and she said yes. However, the one I received ended up being only chicken. The chicken was a bit dry, but the spices and the toum were excellent and full of flavor. The mojito was also very refreshing.
Shout-out to the gentleman waiter who was always available with a smile. Truly great service.
Despite the mix-up, I enjoyed the experience and would like to visit again to try more of their dishes.
Everything was very nice. There was a Syrian man who looked after us. Thank you for your service and everything. 🙌

Nestled in the heart of Abu Dhabi since 1975, Abu Al Afwal stands as a testament to the rich flavors of Sudanese cuisine. This beloved eatery has been delighting locals and visitors alike with its authentic dishes at wallet-friendly prices for nearly five decades. Located in Al Zahiyah, it’s a must-visit spot where you can savor traditional meals like foul medames—a hearty stew made from fava beans that is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
Authentic sudanese fool dish and the one of the best I ever tasted before to be honest. All the best to this amazing man and we are waiting for Dubai. Branch.
We ordered 3 fool and 6 flafil and 2 hibiscus drinks and 1 fizzy drink and the bill was 60 AED. Worth every penny of it and cant wait to visit it again.

Hands down the best Fawal in Abu Dhabi. Full of memories, consistent quality, and unbeatable taste that hasn’t changed over time. Still amazing every single time — no review needed, it speaks for itself.
Very tiny place with 2 small tables with a leaking AC. The reason for tasting good is the fusion of cheese topping. You can enhance taste further with Lime juice and chopped green chillis along with onion and tomatoes. Aed 15 is a little overcharged for a plate. Parking is a little difficult to find.
Honestly speaking was so delicious beans ever taste good and healthy I would recommend it for all vegetarian
Healthy authentic Middle East cousins
One and only best foul serving place at Tca area; Abu Duabi.
Foul medames is a very popular Middle Eastern dish typically eaten for breakfast. It has many health benefits as it is rich in fiber and protein.
Ful medames, or simply ful, is a stew of cooked fava beans served with olive oil, cumin, and optionally with chopped parsley, garlic, onion, lemon juice, chili pepper and other vegetables, herbs, and spices. Ful medames is traditionally made in and served out of a large metal jug
But this place only open 7pm to 11pm even foul is best breakfast; I brought 2plate cost 15aed only for each and eat my dinner and the rest kept for next day morning to make my whole day with full of energy
They serve only three items; that is so great as they serve only limited and on its best and authentic
1) foul medammes plate
2) foul medammes sandwiches
3) felafil
Two kind of bread is available
Kuboos or brown sammoon
Sitting capacity only around 4
Better take away option
Will not regret if you love healthy Middle East cousin
The best foul I ever taste , not just food it gives you a life memory
Best sudanian Restaurant... Cheers for owner always there serving an amazing foul dishes....
This is the best of the bests Sudanese restaurant serving beans (foul) & falafil in the entire planet 😋😋
Only you need one visit to visit again and again.

I had a very very good pizza there. The staff was super friendly and especially the pesto was incredibly good. I was super happy that I found that place during my stop over in Abu Dhabi ❤️

Not just the pizza but I'm determined to finish crossing off everything in the menu! It's all so good, lovely staff and manager too! Shoutout to her for the beautiful hospitality. I'm always craving their pizza 😭
Vegetarians should be careful at this restaurant. The chef is really mischievous in mixing meat items in veg orders. I ordered penne arabiata for take away and was given penne Alfredo with chicken pieces. When I complained then initially the response was of denial but then offered a replacement pasta. Surprisingly the replacement pasta - which i ordered was a spaghetti with roasted veges was sent as spaghetti with roasted chicken. Cannot trust the chef with veg food. I have decided never to order from here again.
Pretty good pizza for their price. I really enjoyed my time and food there.
Very bad service i order 10 pizzas i wait for my order 90 minutes guys plz check the image how they keep pizza bread
We had two wonderful pizzas, the Carnivora and BBQ brisket, chicken strips, calamari, tiramisu and banana caramel pudding. Everything was fresh and absolutely wonderful! Absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!
Some orders are wrongly performed. Last time was a total mess. Started an investigation via Talabat with no reply. Shame, because the pizza is not bad.
Their pizzas are really good, especially FATTORIA my favorite here. also I tried the veggie lasagne called VERDURE it was so dry and full of mushrooms. Overall this place is highly recommended for pizza lovers.

Dear Food Authority
Yesterday we bought some coconut sweets from Chappan Bhog-Electra Street, for Baby shower in our home.
All guests have comsumed those sweets, we all found fungus and paint smell in coconut sweet. (Pictures Attached)
I called the shop, but there was no positive response we received. Further we gone that shop again to discuss this matter, but sales person asked us to talk the manager- Pankaj. He said that he can’t to anything as he was not in Abu Dhabi, he was in Dubai.
I kindly request the ministry to investigate this matter, as it is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of consumers. Ensuring that food establishments adhere to strict health regulations is vital to prevent such incidents in future
Tried dahi puri from the place.
1. Dahi puri(3.5/5)
It was very yummy, containers 6 Puri decorated with anar and mixture. It costs 11 AED for one set of any kinds of bhelpuri etc. the sweet was bit more, could reduce the sweetness.
The place is very congested , so the atmosphere isn't very much pleasing and not so neat to dine in.
It’s a very clean place, cozy atmosphere, super affordable prices, and the service is very good. Food was really nice.
Sweets are nice but there has to be more options with non-sugar items.
We expect such a popular sweet shop to have sweets made of jaggery as well.
Give this a thought 😊
If you're searching good vegetarian food in Abu Dhabi, this is a place where you can find delicious thali and indian sweets.
Snacks and chat items also recommendable.
Chhapan Bhog never fails to impress with its wide variety of Indian sweets and savory delights. The quality is top-notch from melt-in-the-mouth kaju katli to well balanced namkeens. It’s also a great place for festive gifting, thanks to their elegant packaging and freshness. Whether your goal is to have some snacks or to buy a box of sweets, Chhapan Bhog always delivers that touch of tradition and indulgence.

I'm giving one star about their delivery service. This is s shawerma place as in Arabian food, there food they should have people on the phone who speak Arabic and English to take orders. The people who answer the phone don't speak Arabic and speak very bad English and their accent is beyond comprehension .
It is better to order from the other branch in so najda. They speak perfect Arabic and English on the phone
I win not like the shawama it did not taste good.

Emirates Palace, a lavish beachfront property in Abu Dhabi, boasts 1.3 km of private beach and expansive gardens. With 394 opulent rooms and suites, 14 dining options, and stunning views of the Arabian Sea, it offers a luxurious experience. While some may find its grandeur overwhelming, it's ideal for family getaways with spacious accommodations and various recreational activities at the Beach Club.
I felt something shift the silence, the space, the energy… it wasn’t just luxury, it was grounding. Everything looked so beautiful that I actually had to slow down and just look around. It didn’t feel like a hotel it felt like stepping into another timeline where life is softer, slower, more intentional.
The architecture, the gold details, the calm lighting… it all created this warm feeling inside me. I could feel my mind start to quiet down, and my body relax without me forcing it.
The way the staff interacted gentle, respectful, present made me feel seen, not like a guest number, but like an actual human being. I felt a deep sense of gratitude.

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 meat is fresh, well-marinated, and perfectly balanced in flavor. Service is courteous and professional special mention to “Jenisis” (if my memory serves it right) who provided exceptional assistance by offering helpful insights about the menu and food preparation.
The place was a bit far but it was all worth it! The food was impeccable. We had black bean noodles, jjampong, shrimp tansuyok and half chicken yangnyom. My favorite is jjampong, it has that smoky spicy flavor. Service is great and ambience feels like kpop vibe as well as instagramable!

Pan-Asian restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Abu Dhabi at the Crowne Plaza hotel, Cho Gao Marina Walk is a vibrant Asian restaurant that promises an unforgettable dining experience. With its enchanting ambiance featuring hanging paper lanterns and moody lighting, guests can enjoy stunning views of the marina and Etihad Towers from its expansive outdoor terrace. The menu is a delightful journey through Asia, offering an array of dishes including delectable maki rolls, crispy vegetable tempura, and generous portions of pad Thai.
I ate here twice while a guest at the hotel. The service was very good. The food was good as well, although one sushi roll was deep fried and had a lot of heavy mayonnaise type sauce on it. It just didn't taste like a nice fresh sushi, so I sent it back. The normal sushi rolls of salmon and California roll were mush fresher tasting. The mocktails were very good and I tried 2 different ones each occasion I dined there. This was the second restaurant at the hotel where there was no small soup portion appropriate for 1 person, so while I may have wanted more variety I was full after having my soup and some sushi on each visit. I think the hotel should consider that some hotel guests would like some smaller items on the menu to try things and have variety. Not everyone is traveling in groups.

We had amazing night birthday celebration together with my cousin’s. It’s my 3rd time in here and its always amaze me, The excellent service provided with each and every staff, Titan was amazing from welcoming us to dining area service. Foods are always delicious, amazing set up are world class. Friendly stuff are amazing job well done guys. I keep coming back as i do really love the athmosphere and world class service. You are more than 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food was amazing! The flavors were spot on with a great mix of Asian fusion dishes.
Service was slow, and the waiters didn’t seem to know much about the menu—or English, or both—which made ordering a bit tricky. Overall, worth it for the food, but could improve on the service side.
I had an incredible experience at Chao Gao! The sushi was top-notch – you can really taste the quality and freshness in every bite. A huge compliment to the chef Nadeera, who is clearly a master of their craft.
The atmosphere is another major highlight. It's very fancy and luxurious, making it the perfect spot for a special date night. To top it all off, their cocktails are absolutely brilliant and creative, and the mugs are craaaazy cool.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for exceptional food in a sophisticated setting. We will definitely be back! Please try the salmon sushis !!
Finally found the number 1 asian cuisine in Abu Dhabi that food critics should not miss. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Princess setting a positive tone for the evening.
The ambiance is vibrant yet cozy, with traditional Chinese decor that creates a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of classic dishes and some innovative options that cater to all asian taste buds.
What truly stood out, however, was the impeccable service by Sous Chef Nadeera he's very knowledgeable and passionate, offering recommendations and ensuring that all of our needs were met promptly.
Overall, Cho Gao is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine with exceptional service. I highly recommend visiting for a memorable dining experience!
We came for the buffet dinner on Staurday night and wanted to try the dumpling but we were told they were only available on Fridays. While we were disappointed,Chef Nadeera made some tempura prawns which more than made up for the disappointed. His attention to ensuring that we enjoyed the dinner and made the night very enjoyable. Anyway the food was nice and all the staff provided great service. We were enjoy out dinner there.
Beautiful Asian restaurant with nice atmosphere and good vibes , they have great terrace with sea view . The sushi 🍣 sooo goood 👌
Reviewed here a few weeks ago I only gave it 3 stars. But the food was amazing so we came back twice since. Tonight has to be one of the best experiences of service I have ever had. Just exactly on point. Thank you for such a perfect experience exactly what a restaurant is supposed to be like. Edit. ….We continue to return time after time twice a month if we can and it continues to be a wonderful experience most recently we met the Sous Chef Nadeera who was so accommodating. Many thanks to you.
August 2025. Back again to add to the review and to just add that the consistency and quality of food and service still remains. Have been coming here for many years and it still delivers on quality. Well done on the reopening and a special mention to the chef Nadeera Windana on excellent service this evening

Outstanding Seafood Experience!
This restaurant delivers perfection. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and seated promptly in a cozy, elegant setting that immediately set the tone for an exceptional dining experience.
Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the grilled lobster was cooked to absolute perfection. The cocktails are also very good and served with some sweet smiles.
The service was impeccable — the hostess was very polite and attentive too (Rihanna) she’s the best for sure and together with the chef who presented the food himself to us.
Whether you’re a seafood lover or just someone looking for a world-class dining experience, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back soon — it’s easily one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve ever been to!
If you’re looking for something more authentic seafood this place is the best. Surely I will come back. ✨🍣🍤
I had a wonderful experience at Turtle Bay Bar and Grill. Miki, our server, provided exceptional service, enhancing our dining experience. The special dishes were expertly cooked, and the ambiance was delightful. Highly recommend this establishment!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at TURTLE BAY BAR & GRILL Saadiyat Rotana Resort & Villas. The atmosphere was amazing and the menu offered a fantastic selection of food. I especially enjoyed their flavorful ribeye steak and mouth-watering tomato soup. The highlight of the meal was the luxurious golden sprinkle ice cream for dessert. Additionally, their children's menu was impressive, carefully catering to younger guests. My experience in the restaurant was excellent, the waiters Karim and Anita were very attentive, polite, and helped me navigate the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dining experience.
We stayed at the Rotana Resort and ate here on three occasions. The quality of seafood is fantastic and the variety on the menu means you could eat here every night of the week and not get bored. Highlights are the sushi, the catch of the day (Dentex, Sherry Fish and Bream were very good). Service is also very attentive.
Would recommend asking for an outside table too.

Every new course a lovely surprise, pairing wines made all the difference, peak of dinner at the medium rare beef.

Each course was thoughtfully crafted with a perfect balance of flavors — creative, well-executed, and full of surprises. You can really tell the passion and skill behind each dish. The ambiance was great, and the service matched the high standard of the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique fine dining experience!
A hidden gem of French cuisine in Abu Dhabi!
Signature onion soup, snails, amuse bouche...

Our experience at Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard was truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with impeccable service and a stunning ambiance that set the stage for what was to come. The restaurant itself is elegant and sophisticated, with a touch of modernity that added to the overall experience.
We opted for the a dish from each country, which allowed us to try a variety of dishes that showcased Chef Isnard's creativity and talent. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing a perfect balance of textures and aromas. From the delicate Caviar to the succulent Wagu, each bite was a delight for the senses.
But what truly set Bord Eau apart was the use of elements in the dishes. We experienced dishes that were infused with different elements, which added an extra layer of intrigue to the dining experience. It was amazing to see how these elements changed the way we perceived the flavours and textures of the food, making each dish a truly unique and exciting experience.
Overall, dining at Bord Eau was a culinary journey like no other. The combination of exceptional food, stellar service, and innovative use of elements made for a dining experience that was truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend Bord Eau to anyone looking for a dining experience that is both luxurious and exciting.
Last night, my spouse and I indulged in what can only be described as an extraordinary culinary journey at Bord’eau — a confidential fine dining French establishment.
Opting for the six-course tasting menu, we were guided through a thoughtfully curated progression of flavor, texture, and technique. Each dish was a testament to classical French mastery, elevated with contemporary flair and exotic twist — from the delicate amuse-bouche to the perfectly executed mains, not a note was out of tune. The wine, selected with discernment by the sommelier, danced effortlessly with the food.
The ambiance was equally enchanting with just the right lighting and decor. It felt like stepping into a quiet pocket of Parisian elegance.
Service, too, was flawless. Rémi and his team were attentive but never intrusive. Every dish arrived with quiet confidence, and every question was met with genuine enthusiasm.
This was jut not dinner - it was an amazing experience that lingers on the palate. This place is a must-visit for any discerning gourmand.
Bord Eau offers an amazing combination of great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere.

I had an amazing stay at Intercontinental Hotel Abu Dhabi — truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The hotel offers everything a person could need in life: clean and well-maintained rooms, delicious food in plenty, and a wide selection of continental breakfast options to start the day right.
The gym facilities were outstanding — well equipped with every machine you could possibly need for a full workout. Hygiene was superb throughout the hotel, and I must give special thanks to Lameck, an excellent gym instructor and my baby brother, who encouraged me to stay at Hotel Continental during my time in Abu Dhabi. His professionalism, motivation, and friendly guidance made my fitness sessions enjoyable and effective.
Another highlight of my stay was the wonderful, soothing, full-body massage I received from "Therapista," a truly skilled and professional therapist. She used the time perfectly, applying blended aroma oils that relaxed my tired muscles, and the facial treatment she provided left my skin glowing and refreshed. The prices were very reasonable, especially with the great discounts offered — absolutely worth it!
I’m so happy I chose to spend my holiday at Hotel Continental Abu Dhabi. Everything — from the comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality to the professional staff — made my stay unforgettable.
Thank you, my baby brother Lameck, for persuading me to experience this wonderful place. I’ll definitely be back!
I would like to sincerely thank Raouf. For many years, during which we have visited the hotel, he has been an integral part of the InterContinental team and is distinguished by his consistently friendly, helpful, and professional manner. No matter what position he held, he always impressed with his dedication and a smile.
I would particularly like to emphasize his patience, his sense of responsibility, and his palpable enjoyment of his work. His experience and positive attitude contribute significantly to making guests feel welcome and well cared for at the hotel at all times.
From the moment I arrived until the day I left, the staff at InterContinental Abu Dhabi made me feel truly pampered and important. The hospitality is exceptional, with every detail carefully attended to.
✨ The hotel offers excellent conditions, from beautifully maintained facilities to an atmosphere of comfort and elegance.
🥂 Drinks are crafted with care and precision, always of the highest quality.

🏖️ The beach is incredible, spacious, and welcoming, with plenty of places for everyone to relax.
🏊 The pool is superb, offering a refreshing escape in a luxurious setting.

I was very kindly upgraded to the Presidential Suite, completely to my surprise. The gesture truly made my stay exceptional. The room was spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional from the moment I arrived, and their hospitality really stood out. I genuinely appreciate the upgrade and the overall experience — it made my stay unforgettable. Highly recommended
We have been coming to this hotel for about 6 years. The service and the quality of the food is great especially in the club lounge.
The service is impeccable, Mathai, Apkansder, Vince, Rowena, Ofelia and Sangaay., thank you for looking after all our needs and making us feel at home, we did miss Shelia.
This hotel has a great beach and is in a good location. It also has many restrauntsp to choose from and not far from the emirates palace.
Highly recommend a club room, so you can access the club lounge and be spoilt by the staff and the food .
Fuji,
The location of the property is beautiful for sure like many other properties in Abu Dhabi. What made the difference and best experience of my 5 nights stay at Intercontinental was the staff, very professional, very kind, trained, available, attentive to details, hospitable, and whenever I asked a question or wanted help they were all ready to go an extra mile to get an answer or resolve the matter for me. For example, my room had an issue when the sink clogged. Fred at the Front Desk didn't hesitate to move me to another room when mantainance failed to resolve the issue. That made my five nights stay very comfortable. At the outside dinning, Elijah the security officer made sure everyone and everything went on well. Housekeeping was amazing, the life guards , the SPA and dinning staff, all are spectacular.
I made sure to make reservations again before I left to return to this property during my next visit to Abu Dhabi.

Food was delicious and all the staff were absolutely brilliant!
Also wanted to give a shoutout to Adhil. We were well looked after by Adhil when we ate at Mijana twice during our stay. Couldn’t fault his service - was extremely friendly and attentive.
We were impressed that he remembered our drinks and food orders from our previous visit, which was a great personal touch!
Both times we asked for a takeaway bag as we couldn’t finish our food, and he added in some extras which was a nice surprise.

Truly unforgettable dining experience, where incredible flavors, top-notch service and a vibrant atmosphere come together perfectly.
All the food was absolutely phenomenal - every dish we ordered exceeded expectations, beyond words. The fatoush salad was fresh, crisp and bursting with flavor, the fried calamari (literally best we ever tried) were perfectly golden and crispy, with the right balance of seasoning and the kunafa prawns were an absolute revelation - an innovative twist that left us craving more. And the mixed grill - simply divine, with each piece grilled to perfection, tender and infused with rich, aromatic spices.
The service was just as impeccable as the food. The entire team took excellent care of us, ensuring that every detail was perfect. A special mention goes to Adel, whose passion for hospitality is truly remarkable. His attentiveness and dedication to ensuring that guests have an outstanding experience is truly commendable. And of course, a huge thank you to the Chef for crafting such a spectacular menu!
Definetly the best Arabic restaurant in the UAE. The warm, inviting ambiance, enhanced by live music, immediately set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. This place is a true gem and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

We had a great time painting plates while we ate a light lunch. The place is very relaxed and the staff are helpful and friendly. There is so much inspiration around in the cosy setting amongst the trees. They also have some rabbits and tortoises on the property.
The only downside was that the plates were glossy so you have to wait a while between coats of paint. Although that gives you a chance to chat with your friends.

Salad was my very favorite we will come back again thanks to the one who serve us miss princess and the manager was so accommodating.Thanks a lot!
This restaurant is a true haven for food lovers. The atmosphere is very welcoming, inviting you to enjoy a unique culinary experience. The gastronomic offerings are quite extensive, with dishes that stand out for their quality and flavor. The pastas and pizzas are exquisite, with sauces that enhance every bite. Additionally, the salad options are fresh and delicious, perfect for complementing the meal. However, it’s important to mention that the chocolate fondant did not meet the usual standards. Despite this small issue, the overall experience is highly satisfying and recommendable.
It’s was not much rush during my time of visit. The service was excellent. The waitress around through out the time we were there to assist us. The good food taste still lingers in my mouth. The quantity of the food was good for sharing. Ambience and decor is very nice as they have seating inside also.

I tried it here for the first time the food is good even without meat, The only thing is that they serve very long it takes 25 mins for just a club sandwich and Schwann Rice.
Salam Bombay is a vegetarian kitchen and serves up traditional Indian fare for breakfast lunch and dinner. They are open early by Abu Dhabi standards (8:00am).
With Indian food I’m looking for three things. Bold flavours, working together in harmony with just the right amount of kick. Salam Bombay has it all and adds value and warmth of service.
We had a handful of dishes served with sambhar and coconut chutney each differing in the vehicle of their delivery. Idly, fermented and steamed rice cakes, Medu, deep fried donuts and Dosa, thin crispy pancake heaven stuffed with delicious perfectly cooked potato. Upma was a new one for us, a savoury version of a tradionally sweet Indian porridge.
It wasn’t the best Indian we’d had. The coconut chutney could have had a little more pop. I got the white guy treatment when I asked for a 3 chilli proper spicy Masala Dosa (it had very little kick). Still the food was made to order, hot and fresh and satisfied a craving we’d had for weeks. The value was unreal. 4 dishes and drinks for less than 60 AED. We recommend and if you headed there let us know cause we are excited to try their lunch and dinner offerings.
Salaam Bombay Vegetarian Restaurant offers an enchanting dining experience that combines excellent food with Bollywood-style ambience. The moment you step in, you’re transported to a vibrant world of flavors and colors. I recently tried their idli chutney and masala tea, and they were truly out of this world! The idlis were soft and flavorful, and the masala tea had just the right balance of spices. The attentive service and cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit for vegetarians. Kudos to the team at Salaam Bombay!

I am regular visitor for Salam Bombay Muroor branch from more than 6 years in row and visiting atleast once in month. It from last 6 month both food Quality is getting bad days by day and also service is more than worst ever seen. Seen place fully deserted and only 3 table occupied, still take 1 hour for delivery of food on table. On asking giving non acceptable reason. Also after long time wait also food not to acceptable cooking level. Very disappointed with new staff and all old staff is fully replaced. Need to focus by branch for in-house guest but looks like they are more focused on online ordered. But personal i seen this place going deserted day by day and very less customer in house. Much disappointment on branch and going to stop visiting branch.
One of best north Indian vegetarian food point in Abu Dhabi serving fresh and delicious food.I tried almost all types of mouth watering chaats, alu paratha with different type of lassi, every byte is full of taste.

It's been a long time for me to try Mansaf, and Oh Boy, they didn't disappoint me. This restaurant Mansaf will give a hard time to other OG rivals in town. This first impression is promising & it will encourage me try the remaining of their Menu. Looking forward to try their Kaak menu next time. Kaak & Mansaf in one order? That would be overwhelming for me Ha Ha Ha. We'll done Tatbila A&J, & Good bless your restaurant.

The shawarma was the best but unfortunately the garlic sauce now is free anymore. For small containers they are charging 2 aed this is so bad. I hope management can do something about it because if not you will loose a lot of costumers!!!
Hands down the best shawarma in the UAE! The flavors are unbeatable — especially the Mexican sauce, it’s out of this world. Highly recommend ordering a small Arabic bread meat shawarma, and don’t miss trying their special bread for the Mexican chicken shawarma. Absolutely worth it every time!
This place is amazing.. especially the food, it's yummy... And the service is excellent. 👍🖤
Came here with my Shawarma Ally , and I decided for Saj Shawarma Chicken and also Beef. I have to say the taste of both were very good. The chicken might be a notch ahead but I enjoyed the beef too as the taste of the meat was really nice and Tahina didn't take over too much.
I can recommend to try this outlet, it was fairly busy but Service managed well and wait time was ok.
Precise rated I give this place 4.6/5
Terrible 🤮 experience! I ordered 3 shawarmas from Shish Shawarma using the Smiles app, and what we received was completely burnt and had no sauce inside. The taste was horrible — we started feeling sick and even vomited afterward. I tried giving a piece to my cat, and even the cat refused to eat it!
It felt like they purposely gave bad food because the order was made using Smiles points.
I should have taken this straight to Consumer Rights. Even now, I feel sick just hearing the name Shish Shawarma.
Never ordering from them again. Totally disappointed.
people’s health is not a joke.
Later, we ordered shawarma from another café and the cat ate that happily — so clearly, something was wrong with Shish Shawarma’s food.

Moon shawerma is one of the best!Well done meat, flavored with Arabic spices and herbs, freshly baked pita bread- their moon shawarma is a must try! 😋

The Saj Shawerna and Zaatar with Cheese Manakeesh were perfect too! You got to try the manakeesh here. Too good!The garlic sauce served along these shawarmas are in fact one of the bests I have had!The kebab platter -with shish tawook, lamb chops and meat were also delicious, juicy and succulent. And oh, how can I forget the Fattoush! Fab! Just fab! Do try their organic smoothies- tropi colada and the acai smoothie- not just mere thirst quenchers but delicious and yes healthy!DO NOT forget to try THE CREPE - It’s ammmaaaazing!!! Loved it to bits! Am definitely going back for these when my sweet tooth kicks!

My Children goes to French School nearby and we often goes to this Mc Donalds after school. Always friendly staff specially the Madame Manager. I mostly buy for takeaway but today i decided to dine in with my 2 little daughters. Madame Manager is very friendly and helpful. She helped me use the Mc Donalds app so i could get some discounts as i purchased menu for 3 with ice creams plus 1 meal takeaway for my son who is still in school. The manager is managing good. We will always comeback to this Branch.

As always, food is great and service is very good but the restaurant is too tiny.
Worst branch ever, they always bring wrong and missing orders, when i order happy meal they don’t put juice and they put nuggets instead of burger. Not first time ALWAYS
Make sure to go earlier than 2am during the weekends as the place afterwards becomes very crowded. Other than that, the service is good and well organized.
All is good but there is one guy i think Asmita yes she don't have sense how to talk with people
food came out cold when i just took it from the counter and it was literally empty but took 25 minutes to prepare one mc chicken meal with the servants sitting in back while ignoring us while calling them???? don’t go your sake
French fried always half filled , patty too thin. Not tasty ot worth thr money.
The staff/employees are very kind but the seating area is so small that the place can get pretty crowded

I got food poisoning from their food about two months ago, which caused me severe stomach pain for two days. I overlooked it, and now they are giving me rotten potatoes. What is this!!!
Always the best place to come. My son absolutely love this place .
The service is amazing.
Today i was served by deepa and sarbita . They were so good
Provided us fast service from ordering of the meal at the cashier up to the time the meal was delivered to our table by a friendly and polite crew.... The place is clean and not that crowded inside Central Mall in Khalifa City A.
2 days into severe food poisoning. WHO is running this place? Simply not good enough. Won’t be using this place again!
Near to vox cinemas and near albaik... Staffs are very friendly, nice ambience,
I always order for delivery and this McDonald's from Central Mall always sends half of the fries that I'm buying. It's a shame... I've shared the picture of the quantity so you can see where you are buying your food. I suggest you to go to a different one...
Nice place, generally not too busy and the service is fast.
It is also kid-friendly, with a playground.

Papa Johns is a popular take-out and delivery chain known for its classic and specialty pizzas, as well as wings, breadsticks, and desserts. Customers praise the consistently good food quality and friendly service from the staff. Many appreciate the quick service, with orders being ready as promised. The professional staff is often commended for their helpfulness in suggesting add-ons to enhance the dining experience.
Had an amazing experience at Papa Johns. The food was absolutely fantastic, the pizza was fresh, flavorful, and loaded with toppings, just the way it should be. Every bite was delicious & cheesy.
A special shoutout to Harit Desai, who provided exceptional service. He was incredibly polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to come across such dedicated and professional staff, and he truly made our visit even better.
From the warm hospitality to the excellent food, everything was perfect. Highly recommend Papa Johns for great pizza and outstanding service.

We had a great time at papa johns hosting a gathering of 40 people. The food was amazing. We visit here frequently. The managar Harit Desai was very cooperative and helped us organize it in an amazing manner.
The pizza had fresh dough prepared with 100% fresh mozzarella it’s a perfect fusion of flavors
Stretchy cheese and it was fresh out of the oven the topping were bursting with flavors Delecious and crispy, fesh ingredients and variety of pizzas,
And the best thing was that they had varieties of offers
I had a disappointing experience with the order waiting time at your Khalidiya Mall branch. Despite being informed that the mix box would take 15 minutes, it took 45 minutes to receive it. When I approached the counter sales lady after the initial 15 minutes had passed, she seemed to have forgotten about my order. Despite her assurance of a 3-minute wait after checking with the preparation staff, the order did not arrive. Even after an additional 5 minutes, there was no progress. When I raised my concerns with a management representative, who had an unmarked badge, I received a dismissive response, leaving me feeling unheard and disregarded. This level of service does not align with the positive experiences I have had at other Pappa John's locations, such as the one in Madinat Zayed and other malls. I hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience at your Khalidiya Mall outlet.
It takes 10mins always to refill the pizza in the plate. I want only hawaian pizza and the lady staff insist to try me another pizza because they will make another one, and potato wadges and bread with butter is cold 🤣🤣 how amazing papa johns you serve cold foods. It should be fresh and hot always. And before i get the second time they give me the pizza is warm only and not hot.and pizza sauce and pepperoni on it not cooked very well, you will see they cook it in hurry.. thank you papa johns, but i’m not satisfied with the service and the food also.
It was my bday on 21st April as we celebrate last year jn alwahda mall branch and we were super happy by the team and experience. So this year also we tried to celebrate with papajohn as suggested by one of my friend I was ordering this time through the app. As I will get some points that can be redeem to order again, I order for takeaway and got it within 15-20 mnts everything was fine. Later on I planned to order again with Papajohn so i can redeem my bday points and order more to enjoy with my other friends those who could not celebrate my bday. It was 26 April evening 6:30pm I order by mobile app so by the time we will reached there order will be ready. I reached there by 6:45pm outlet was busy and some delivery guys were waiting for their food and other guest also waiting for their food for takeaway carrying bill in hand to hope someone will come and tell how long it will take. Same I also waited more than 15 minutes so someone can tell me where is my food ? After waiting of 15 minutes JOANNA turned up and got engaged with delivery guys . She left without listening me. This was so rude and ignored. In the end ROSELYN Came she took the payment and also left without saying anything. Same time there was one guy was looking table for 5 person but staff response were terrible. They said they don't have any table as of now. I suggested to staff to take down their details in waiting list. They said they don't do waiting list. The guest still waited asking what should I do? Your staff was keep saying we don't gave table luckily Same time there were 2 table available but no one bothered to clean those table and let them provide the seat. By the time those guests were cleaning the table by themselves as they really want to enjoy papajohn pizza only. I was so overwhelmed by those loyal guest even though staff was so non cooperative and rude. Meanwhile one healthy (sorry to use such word I couldn't see her name) girl came and told Me to go to expo area to check my food myself. I was keep checking my food their like I'm a staff of papajohn . Finally I got my order by 8pm . Exact after ordering of 1.5 hours . Worst experience ever , even if I asked for manager they said she/he is inside kitchen. As the bill says manager is HANNAH LOIS. But no one was there as manager. Hope no one else is facing this kind of challenge there in papajohn khalidiya mall branch. One more last thing we find in chocolate rolls we order two boxes one had 7 rolls other had 8 we don't know why it was less in first.
We ordered two types of pizza from this restaurant, and unfortunately, we experienced severe stomach pain and diarrhea afterward. Very disappointed .
Horrible pizza! Not go to Papa John's!!!!
The pizza was without content on the side, this is Hot-DogPizza and an employee wanted to take my ice with a teaspoon! Many mistakes on the part
Papa John's! Not go to Papa John's!!!!

The hamburger restaurant Burger King ADNOC Zaab is a popular choice for those looking for high-quality food and good service. The restaurant features grilled burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and sides. It also offers delivery and takeaway options, making it easy to get your favourite meal no matter where you are.
Burger King is definitely a must try. ☺️Their burgers are delicious, but nothing beats my favorite, the chicken wrap paired with an apple pie 🍔🌯
Special thanks to Mr. Sohaib for being so accommodating throughout the service. Great food and even better customer experience..
Mae D — Google review
Food and service was good but there were kids screaming so loud, my ears were literally hurting. They should make a policy in case such things happen then employees should have the right to kick such customers out.
Kids these days literally have no manners, for parents who are too busy in their own luxuries and personal silly goals, please focus on your children who are expected to grow into a person bringing negative impact to this world.
The food was absolutely delicious
Such polite and friendly staff
And that one kitchen guy is one of my fav❤️
Both the burger and chicken nuggets we tried was delicious and Staff is very friendly and helpful. Big Shout out to Dilip for his service and recommendation.
This is very nice and very quiet place and very nice dine in system and all staff behavior is very nice specially Mr chaju sir is very nice person he convenes to costumer very softly.sach a very nice place for burgur.Thank you

And they can’t handle the issue very fast
Very bad hospitality
Big big thanks for abu jana for his excellent service he is really directed for job
Had a such pleasant experience today at KFC Khalidiyah branch
The service is top tier, the place is organized and clean, and the food well prepared and delicious
This branch is definitely one of the most underrated branches in all of Abu Dhabi - highly recommended to visit!
Very good taste delicious 😋
Worst branch and worst management
I ordered the new Nuggets (it's not a Nuggets, it's a night mare ... When I called to make the complaint about how small the chicken and taste bad, the store manager called me, this is what we offer, it's and this is the taste of it, and don't expect a change for your food
This is the new ads they are making and to get us the nuggets we used to it, it's the worst, this branch is worst
Nice staff and taste everyone know 😋
The food is good and fresh .. the fries is crispy and delicious.
Thank you so much yousef
he's the best in customer service and taking orders ...

McDonald's is a well-known fast food chain that is popular all over the world. Its branches in the UAE are always open 24 hours, and its burgers and fries are always delicious. Talabat employees often stand outside the restaurants because the entrance is blocked, but this does not stop customers from coming!
It's one of my favorite places for a simple breakfast. Brings a lot of memories whenever I order McDonald's breakfast. Really liked it.

I had a very disappointing experience at McDonald’s. I was shocked to see the staff handling food, including my French fries, without wearing gloves. When I raised my concern to the supervisor, instead of addressing the issue seriously, he smiled and told me, “This is our protocol,” as if I was being unreasonable. This kind of attitude is not only unprofessional but also raises serious concerns about hygiene and food safety. I expected much better from an international brand like McDonald’s. Very poor experience.
I took ice cream Sundae, it was totally melted. Even my son was drinking like smoothie. We took a total of 4.
Moreover, yesterday we came and their machine was not working,
Below average stamdard.
I regularly visit McDonald s at Al Wahda Mall but today morning I had a very disappointing experience. The manager on duty Joseph spoke to me in a rude and unprofessional way As a customer I expect respect and basic courtesy Instead his behavior was dismissive and unfriendly which ruined the entire experience This is not the level of service expected from McDonald s especially at such a popular location
Food quality was fine, but service is just as important. I strongly suggest that proper action or training be taken so that customers are treated politely in the future
I really appreciate the staff at McDonald s Al Wahda Mall they are friendly and helpful However my experience with the manager Joseph was extremely disappointing His rude and unprofessional behavior made my visit unpleasant, which is unacceptable at any McDonald s branch I strongly urge the management to address this issue and ensure proper training so that all customers are treated with respect and courtesy
My favorite fast food place is great, but the only not-so-good thing about it was when they downgraded the hot fudge on the sundae. It's not hot and thick like it used to be. Before, it used to be my favorite.
McDonald s Al Wahda Mall and have witnessed concerning behavior from the manager Joseph Whenever a Filipino customer comes, he directs them to the back area and gives them free ice cream I personally followed once and saw him doing this
This unequal treatment is unprofessional and unfair I strongly urge the head manager to review CCTV footage and investigate this behavior as all customers should be treated equally regardless of nationality
They give me a wrong order i pay and it’s not for free , why my burger is ordinary I ordered for large mushroom burger then suddenly like this, i feel so disappointed.. plsss check while u giving the food for the customer . I can not come back because i have work to do. I just want to raise my concern. Thanks
Untasty burger, I tried Big Tasty, it was horrible, also the toy gift for happy meal it was pink, when I asked for a toy for boy, they said it ix unisex!!! It is very clear they want our kids to get used to mix, boys tskes pink, then Allsh knows what is next. I will never buy anything from that fast "msg."

I would like to commend Angella for her outstanding service. She provided me with clear, accurate, and detailed information about everything I asked, especially regarding the McDonald’s application offer.
Her professionalism, patience, and friendliness made my experience smooth and pleasant. It’s rare to meet someone who communicates with such clarity and care, and Angella truly went above and beyond to ensure I had a perfect understanding of everything.
She is an excellent representative of McDonald’s and deserves recognition for her dedication to customer service.
We celebrated my daughter’s 3rd birthday here! It was so much fun! My daughter loved it!
Hosting a McDonald's party is a hit with kids! Fun-filled activities, delicious Happy Meals, and a lively atmosphere. Really perfect for birthdays.
Recommended: book in advance, choose a party package with games, and let the staff handle the details for a stress-free celebration.
We had our daughter’s birthday party at McDonald’s on 19th July from 4 PM to 6 PM, and it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived until we left, everything was perfectly managed by the two amazing girls who hosted the party. They were enthusiastic, friendly, and always ready to help, we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
All we brought was the cake and candle and goodie bags– the McDonald’s team took care of the rest. The party was well organized and nicely decorated. They also provided goodie bags, gifts for the games, and the best part, every child, even those who didn’t win a game, received a gift. For example, during the musical chairs game, even the kids who got out were clapped for and given a small prize, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made sure no one felt left out.
They also took a few photos at the beginning and gave us printed copies as a sweet memory. Our birthday girl received a gift too, which made her feel extra special.
Overall, it was a stress-free, joyful celebration. Highly recommend McDonald’s birthday parties, especially with such a caring and enthusiastic team. Thank you so much McDonald's.
Had fun

Dear to the management of mcdonalds , im writing this message because for my disappointment. And your staff or team to be aware . As for our observation they hardly giving ketchup and garlic mayo?? The staff are wrong or your management is wrong. Im not satisfied about this matter .
Visited Abudhabi for some official visit and had a fabulous meal at the McDonald’s at World Trade Center. Huge place with good food value for money always.
Ms Sapna very swift with customers, Ms Arrey (supervisor) excellent customer service with all the customers who are placing the orders.
Peak time well taken care with a smile and no complaints at all.
Keep the good work McDonald’s
Yummy but A little busy, we tried the mc pops for the first time they were yummmmm & fresh, the Ms on the cashier was soooo nice didn’t know her name she was wearing yellow and white stripes t shirt but (wasn’t wearing a name tag)
