Chinese restaurant
Cantonese restaurant
Hakkasan Abu Dhabi, located in the Emirates Palace Hotel on Corniche Road, is a renowned Michelin-starred restaurant offering a blend of international and indigenous cuisine. While it is known for its modern and luxurious Chinese (specifically Cantonese) dishes, the restaurant also boasts stunning interior and exterior designs created by Paris-based designers Gilles & Bossier.
Hakkasan, located within the prestigious Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi, is a true benchmark for refined Chinese gastronomy. Awarded a Michelin star, this restaurant offers an exceptional culinary experience where every detail is meticulously crafted to elevate the meal. From the moment you step in, the welcome is worthy of the finest establishments. The staff is attentive and professional, creating a warm and exclusive atmosphere. Before sitting at the table, it is highly recommended to start the evening with an aperitif at the restaurant’s bar, renowned as the longest in the city. The cocktails prepared by the bartender are true works of art, blending subtle flavors with elegant presentation. The cuisine exceeds all expectations. Every dish strikes a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, with flawless execution and top-quality ingredients. The flavors are delicate, the seasonings precise, and the aesthetics of each plate reflect the meticulous care in preparation. This Michelin star is truly deserved. The restaurant’s ambiance is enhanced by a modern and sophisticated design, combining soft lighting with noble materials. The terrace offers an even more exceptional experience, featuring a magnificent view that completes this unique moment. Despite the luxurious setting and outstanding service quality, the prices remain reasonable for an establishment of this caliber. Hakkasan is unquestionably a must-visit destination for lovers of fine Chinese cuisine, where elegance and excellence merge in perfect harmony.

I had such a nice experience here ✨. I tried the Dim Sum Rainbow Collection 🥟with a variety of seafood, meat, and chicken — and honestly, the shrimp dim sum was my favorite, so fresh and flavorful 😋 The Sweet & Sour Chicken Soup 🍲 was amazing — rich, flavorful, and comforting — definitely something I’ll always order when I come back 💯 I also tried the Hakka Hand Pulled Noodles 🍜 — they were okay, not the best I’ve had. The Crispy Chicken with Dry Chilli and Almonds 🌶️🥜 was a little spicy and tasty, but more of a classic dish than something truly unique Overall, a beautiful location, great service, and some standout dishes (especially that soup and shrimp dim sum!) 🌟
Mariam B — Google review
We went with our daughter and the service was excellent. Our waitress took time to go through the menu and explain options and make recommendations for us. The food was stunningly presented and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend the peking duck amd caviar, a really nice combination. The dim sum were simply beautiful to look at. The alaskan lobster was also beautifully presented and tasted sublime. This restaurant is going to hit your pocket hard, we were £600 for two adults and a two year old (who didnt get her own dishes, except a boiled rice). We had the duck, a couple of starters plus one main each, a glass of champagne and soft drinks. It is a “special night out” type budget, but would highly recommend!
Richard R — Google review
The food is divine, the restaurant is beautiful, and the service is outstanding. Our waitress, Camila, was attentive, warm, and charming. She made us feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. We had the signature menu, and every dish was exceptional. I also love the layout of the restaurant. It feels like a little maze, which makes each section feel private in a cozy and elevated way. We sat on the patio overlooking the Etihad Towers and it was stunning. We were celebrating my birthday and the staff made the evening feel extra special. Valet parking is available, which is convenient. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back!

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

Celebrating my birthday at Hakkasan last night was an absolute delight! The ambiance was truly enchanting, creating a memorable experience for all of us. Imad's impeccable service and attention to detail were commendable. The delicious food, a symphony of flavors, made the evening even more special. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a wonderful dining experience.
It's J — Google review
Hakkasan remains a forever favorite — consistently delivering exceptional service and outstanding food. Every visit is a culinary experience, with standout dishes like the smoked wagyu beef, mooli puff, mixed nut lettuce wraps, delicate dim sum, sweet and sour chicken, and the iconic black cod. Each dish is beautifully crafted and full of flavor. It’s also surprisingly kid-friendly — little ones are offered coloring kits, making it a great choice for families. I recommend visiting for lunch or early evening when the atmosphere is more relaxed. For added convenience, Hakkasan offers private valet parking and has its own dedicated entrance, as well as direct access through the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Hotel — making the entire experience seamless from start to finish.
Samira R — Google review
The staff at Hakkasan Abu Dhabi were polite and friendly, and the service was fine. However, the food was extremely disappointing — completely tasteless and far below the standards of a luxury restaurant. We couldn’t even finish our dishes because the flavor was so poor. In addition, the DJ and the music were terrible and didn’t match the restaurant’s atmosphere at all, making the experience unpleasant. Overall, although the staff were nice, the food and ambiance were very disappointing. Definitely not worth the price or the reputation.

Japanese restaurant
Zuma Abu Dhabi offers a new Baikingu Brunch, featuring a wide array of dishes from their tantalizing tasting menu. The brunch includes starters like Shrimp tempura with yuzu chili mayo and sashimi, nigiri, and maki. Live robata cooking presents Beef yakiniku with tahoon mayo, while main courses feature Miso-marinated black cod and Grilled Australian wagyu ribeye with truffle mayo.
I had a wonderful experience at Zuma Abu Dhabi. The food was tasty and delicious — we ordered two fresh, flavorful salads, a perfectly cooked sesame steak, rich rice with mushrooms, and sushi. We also had crackers served with raw tuna and salmon on the side, which were excellent. Everything was great except the sushi; we weren’t lucky with our choice. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was vibrant and elegant
Saeed A — Google review
I always enjoy dinner at Zuma! The food is consistently delicious, and I’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re after a lively dinner with music or drinks and dancing at the bar, the vibe is spot on. The menu is packed with great options, the staff are attentive, and the DJ keeps the energy up—especially later in the night.
Dana D — Google review
First time visiting Zuma Abu Dhabi and also my first time trying sushi. The vibes are amazing and the atmosphere really stands out. Make sure to book in advance, especially on weekends. We sushi, Wagyu beef, calamari and dessert. Everything tasted great, especially the Wagyu and calamari. Prices are on the higher side ($$$$), but you’re paying for quality, service and a premium dining experience. Worth trying for a special night out.

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

Ok this was hard, the place is beautiful situated next to adgm. The views are lovely at night and booking a a must. Totally the sort of place you would go for a business lunch or night out with your partner. My experience this time could have been better. Bear in mind this is against the price point they have set. The dishes that I felt were worth it was the fried tofu and the lobster maki. Probably the curse of being a Google reviewer I was probably a littke of all the other food presented from the seasoning to depth of flavour. Would probably give them another go. I hear the lunch menu is good
The O — Google review
I have been dining at Zuma Abu Dhabi for over 11 years, and I have never experienced something this alarming. Today, I found a strange soft, purplish object in my salad much larger than what was later shown to me and it was breaking apart when touched. The moment I saw it, I felt immediate stomach discomfort and a strong urge to vomit. For a fine dining restaurant of this level, this is extremely unacceptable. The team told me they would “investigate,” but this should not happen in a place known for hosting high-profile guests and operating in a country with strict health and safety standards. I am truly disappointed, and I hope the management takes this matter seriously. This experience was shocking and far from what I expect from Zuma.

Restaurant
Nestled in the elegant Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Dai Pai Dong offers an exquisite dining experience with a blend of traditional Cantonese flavors and modern twists. Led by Chef Dong's 16 years of culinary expertise, this restaurant promises an authentic gastronomic journey in a warm and welcoming ambiance. Known for its delectable dim sum, the establishment serves a variety of steaming dumplings and small plates alongside hot Jasmine tea.
We had the most incredible experience at the Sunday Yum Cha Brunch at Dai Pai Dong. We opted for the Champagne package and didn’t regret it. From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food, the ambience, and most of all, the exceptional service. We opted for the champagne package, and it was worth every dirham. The pours were generous, the selection beautifully curated, and the dishes kept coming — each one better than the last. It’s rare to find a brunch that strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and relaxed, but Dai Pai Dong nails it. A special shout-out to the amazing team who looked after us: lead server, Imran & restaurant manager, Jojo & wine captain, Chen. They absolutely spoilt us with their warmth, attentiveness, and seamless service. It felt personal, not just polished — and that made all the difference. We left full, happy, and already planning our return. If you’re in Abu Dhabi and looking for a brunch that delivers on all fronts, this is it. Book in advance and get ready to be pampered.

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

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

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

Lebanese restaurant
Middle Eastern restaurant
Li Beirut Restaurant, located in the Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers, offers an upscale and inventive Lebanese dining experience. The stylish urban setting features rich red chairs and leather booths inside, with a terrace offering scenic sea views. The menu combines fresh ingredients to create Middle-Eastern delicacies with a modern touch. This award-winning restaurant is known for its well-choreographed service and tasty food, making it a local favorite.
Abu Dhabi’s Li Beirut was truly the best restaurant I’ve ever experienced. With a Michelin One Star, I expected the taste to be guaranteed, but the layers of deep flavors and the excellent textures really elevated the dishes. What impressed me even more was their kindness and service. My dedicated manager, Angel, was truly an angel in every sense. She provided exceptional service and kindly guided us on how to enjoy the meal, all while showing a genuine affection for Korea and making us feel welcome. Additionally, when I mentioned we were on our honeymoon, they organized a very touching event for us. I was truly moved. Once again, I can say it was the best meal to celebrate our last night of the honeymoon. I will definitely come back to see you, Angel (and this time, I promise to leave a tip… I felt so bad for not having cash!).

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

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

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

From the moment that we arrive until the moment that we left, we felt that staff at the restaurant was always trying to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. Our waiter also showed us the entire restaurant as well as the wine cellar. We came here for my wife’s birthday and they made sure that she had the best time of her life. They had a private room with a nAl Capone inspired theme with vibes from Chicago and it was fun to walk around and see it. I am a steak guy and I am sometimes can be too demanding with a steak but the guys here really have something special going on. I had the porterhouse and it was just perfect. The quality of the meat was great. We also tried the Carpaccio and it was ok. For dessert we try the crème brûlée and it was delicious. Our sides were mashed potato and creamed spinach and they were also OK. There are several options for wines and steaks and I highly recommend getting the porterhouse. The service here was fantastic and we really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks to the entire staff of this restaurant for making our dinner memorable.

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

Beirut Sur Mer is a popular Lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi, known for its creative dishes and laid-back atmosphere. The restaurant attracts both locals and visitors looking to enjoy traditional Lebanese cuisine with a modern twist. Guests can savor dishes like crab moutabbal and halawet el jibin with pistachio baklawa and Amarena cherry, which are prepared tableside for added flair.
I had an amazing dining experience at Beirut Sur Mer! The terrace seating was absolutely beautiful — comfortable, elegant, and offering a stunning sea view that made the whole evening special. The food was exceptional; every dish was full of authentic Lebanese flavor. The tabbouleh in particular was outstanding — it honestly tasted just like homemade, full of freshness and balance. Compliments to the chef for that perfect touch! The grilled meats were juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked, while the cold appetizers were of excellent quality — great value for money overall. The shisha was top-notch — smooth, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Big thanks to Great Captain SAMER for his outstanding hospitality and attention to detail,who was cheerful throughout our visit. and to Waiter Fouad, who was extremely friendly It’s best to book your table a day in advance if you want a spot with a nice view. Valet parking was quick and very well organized. Overall, Beirut Sur Mer delivers a perfect blend of authentic Lebanese cuisine, professional service, and a relaxing seaside atmosphere. One of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Abu Dhabi — highly recommended!

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

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

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

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

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

The restaurant offers a blend of Gallic gastronomy with Middle Eastern influences, curated by renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire. The elegant interior reflects classic Parisian style and features plush seating, mood lighting, and art-adorned walls.
I celebrated my birthday on August 15th at Fouquet’s Abu Dhabi, and it was an amazing experience! I was especially impressed by the politeness and professionalism of the staff – both the manager and the waiters were very attentive and made the celebration even more enjoyable.

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

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

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

La Petite Maison (LPM) Abu Dhabi, established in 2017, has become a beloved spot for both locals and tourists.

Situated on Al Maryah Island, the restaurant boasts stylish interiors and a vibrant waterfront terrace.
It was my first visit to the LPM Abu Dhabi branch, and I absolutely loved it. The space was bright and spacious, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming — I had called last minute to make a reservation, and they were so accommodating and kind over the phone. Honestly, such a respectful and professional team! As for the food, it was just as delicious as always. I ordered the fried calamari, snails, and the truffle rigatoni — each dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. I truly enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be coming back again soon.

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

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

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

They made sure we are happy. Most of all, all the food we ordered was superb! Especially the Kingfish Crudo and the Panseared Seabream! The Seafood Paella and the Tagliatelle Putnesca was really good too! We enjoyed their desserts as well. Great job to all the chefs! We really enjoyed the food and service.

We stopped by Alba Terrace at The Edition Hotel Abu Dhabi for a cocktail and were blown away by the hospitality. After mentioning our recent wedding, Pa and Savita surprised us with a beautiful dessert tray and a heartfelt handwritten letter.

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

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

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

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

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

We had a really disappointing experience at Byblos Restaurant in Abu Dhabi. We arrived at 5:50 PM and placed our order around 6:00 PM, but even by 7:00 PM, the food still hadn’t arrived and it was only five meals. After waiting patiently for an hour, we called the manager. It was obvious we were upset, and we asked for the bill since we still hadn’t received our food. The manager simply said “sure” and walked away to bring the bill, without any explanation or apology. His attitude showed no care or professionalism, and the whole experience was a disaster , especially after coming all the way from Dubai expecting something much better. Totally below expectations.

Shang Palace is a traditional Chinese restaurant located in Abu Dhabi, offering an authentic dining experience. The restaurant is known for its popular yum cha lunch deal, where guests can enjoy unlimited servings of 12 different types of steamed dim sum, rice, and noodles for a set price. The ambiance at Shang Palace is tranquil and classy, providing a theatrical and entertaining eating experience.
Shang Palace isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a highlight of every Abu Dhabi trip.

The food is nothing short of spectacular: every dish, from the Peking duck to the dim sum, is crafted with precision and bursts with authentic flavor. Paired with flawless, attentive service (staff anticipate needs without intruding), it’s clear why this is a must-visit. I now make it a ritual to dine here on every vacation—it’s that good. For anyone craving luxury, authenticity, and culinary magic, Shang Palace delivers. Don’t miss it!

My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Brauhaus, the German restaurant at Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi, and it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance transported us straight to a cozy tavern in Germany — warm, welcoming, and full of character. The star of the evening, however, was the incredible food and service. We started off with a round of delicious German beers — crisp, cold, and perfectly poured. The sausages were authentic and flavorful, and the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, glazed with the perfect amount of seasoning. The cod was beautifully cooked — flaky and fresh — and the meal ended on a high note with the classic apple strudel, warm and comforting with just the right hint of spice. A special shoutout to Chef Pedro Kimmi and Faisal, who made us feel truly taken care of. Their passion and hospitality added a personal touch that made the evening even more memorable.

The gentleman looking after our table had a fantastic eye for timing. Thank you! We started with a few entrees to share But the true star was the steak. It was, without a hint of exaggeration, spectacular. Cooked to absolute perfection, it was so tender and flavorful that my friend and I just looked at each other and laughed.

For my first time visiting Paradiso, it was an amazing experience time! After hearing great reviews about Italian evening, my friend and I were very excited to visit the venue. The food was exceptional with very prompt service, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, bringing all of our requests. The best part was the variety of food received, and being able to re order as we wished - such a great service! Excited to bring more friends back soon.

I had a fantastic business lunch at Paradiso, and I can't recommend it enough! The food was exquisite, and the views were absolutely stunning—it's the perfect backdrop for a productive meeting. Our waiter, Ferge, truly made the experience memorable with her attentive and friendly service. She was knowledgeable about the menu and ensured we had everything we needed. I left feeling satisfied not just with the meal but also with the overall ambiance. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!

Visited this Italian gem in Yas Bay for the second time, and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is so inviting, especially in winter when you can sit outdoors, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the stunning sea view. Their menu is filled with authentic Italian flavors – from appetizers to desserts – and the seafood is truly a highlight. Drinks are excellent too. A wonderful place to share a meal with family or friends. Can’t wait to come back again!

Peruvian restaurant
Restaurant
COYA Abu Dhabi, located in the esteemed Four Seasons Hotel on Al Maryah Island, offers a vibrant and unique dining experience that combines the vivacious tastes of Peruvian cuisine with influences from Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish traditions. The restaurant's chic interiors and energetic ambiance make every meal feel like a party, especially during brunch.
Coya Abu Dhabi is truly one of the finest fine dining experiences in the city. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and friendly staff, the beautiful ambience, and the absolutely delicious food. Both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are crafted with great care and are worth every penny. The dessert was a standout — superb and absolutely yummylicious! Special thanks to the incredibly talented and creative chef who made the entire meal memorable. We celebrated a friend’s birthday here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The experience was worth every moment. Thank you again, Coya Abu Dhabi — we’ll definitely be back! Rate: 1000/100 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

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

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

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

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

NIRI Restaurant and Bar is a new addition to Abu Dhabi's dining scene, offering authentic Japanese cuisine in the picturesque Mamsha Al Saadiyat. With ex-Zuma and LPM management at the helm, the restaurant focuses on quality and simplicity in both its design and food. It has been recognized as Abu Dhabi's Casual Restaurant of the Year for its stunning beach views, lively atmosphere, and sensational dishes including kushi and sashimi.
Wow this place blew me away!!! Really liked the outdoor seating and the view of the beach sunset. Every food tasted great and staff were good. Too bad there is only one location! Would love to have one in Dubai! My friends got the beef dishes that looked amazing!! Everyone had a great time

** Nice Japanese Food in Mamsha** Interesting Izakaya on Saadiyat. We tried the skewers that were nice (except for the wagyu one, overpriced and not very tender), various sushi rolls (the fatty tuna and torched salmon were the highlight), veggie dumplings (oddly sweet, that is the one item I would fail) and fried rice (a bit saucy but tasty). The price seemed fair for what we had - though the place didn’t have great service or a buzzy ambience on a Sunday at lunchtime. I would go again when in the neighbourhood and craving sushi!

The starters and desserts were truly delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. While the main dishes were average in taste for me, the staff made a great impression, extremely friendly and attentive. One of the highlights was when I ordered a dish I didn’t enjoy, the waitress noticed I didn’t eat it, came to check on me, and when I explained, she apologized sincerely and even removed it from the bill without me asking. That kind of customer service really stood out and made the experience worthwhile. Would come back for the starters, desserts, and service!

I went to Niri for my birthday even though it was on Tuesday night but the restaurant was crowded (Ramadan month). The food was amazing especially sushi menu was very fresh and well made. The table was a bit too small to enjoy food and too close to others which a bit killed the vibe for me.

One of my favorite sushi spots in Abu Dhabi — I’ve been here more than ten times, and it never disappoints. The sushi is consistently excellent, and the sea view is absolutely perfect, making it one of the best dining atmospheres in the city. However, the service could use some improvement. The staff don’t always pay close attention when accommodating guests, and a few can come across as rude, especially when the restaurant is full or there’s no availability. A bit more courtesy and attentiveness would really elevate the overall experience. Still, the food and ambiance keep me coming back — a must-visit for sushi lovers.

A very disappointing experience. I visited the restaurant while many outdoor tables were empty, yet I was told they were “fully booked.” When I asked for one of the larger tables, I was told they were reserved for groups and couldn’t be given to me. However, when I came back an hour later, I was surprised to see two people sitting at a table that could easily seat four! Honestly, the way this was handled was quite unprofessional — especially since it was my birthday, and I was hoping to celebrate and enjoy my time there. After this, I decided to leave and go to 3 Fils, where they truly understand how to respect and value their customers.

OTORO is a modern Japanese restaurant located in Abu Dhabi's Al Qana district, offering a refined dining experience with a minimalist and chic setting. The restaurant is the debut of Chef Akmal Anuars, known for his global acclaim at 3Fils and other concepts.
• I liked Otoro!! It’s a more casual Japanese restaurant, but the food is of very high quality. The flavors, textures, and freshness of the fish/meat are excellent and truly delicious. • The service was lovely, quick, attentive, and polite. The place is spacious, offering both indoor seating with a view of the open kitchen and outdoor seating overlooking the lively atmosphere of Al Qana. • We tried the Salmon Carpaccio - ponzu sesame and seaweed (55 AED), Indomie - veal chorizo, green vegetables (42 AED), Maki Roll Tempura Prawn (53 AED), Chutoro Nigiri (70 AED), Otoro Nigiri (82 AED) and Wagyu Nigiri (82 AED). For the dessert the Vanilla Creme Caramel (42 AED). Everything absolutely amazing and recommended. (Prices April/2025 - *Fazaa can be used) • If you like Japanese food, you should definitely check it out. It’s totally worth it! The food is really good, and the service is great too. And afterward, you can take a nice walk around Al Qana :) If you found this info useful, leave a ❤️ to let me know. Thanks!

Craving sushi and a hint of wagyu, I came across this refined spot that immediately felt warm and inviting. The ambiance was serene — calm, understated, and effortlessly elegant. I opted for the Prawn Maki Roll and Wagyu Nigiri; both were impeccably fresh, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor. The overall experience was harmonious and unhurried, making it an ideal destination for a refined dining escape. I’ll certainly be returning to explore more of their culinary creations.

From the moment we stepped in, the elegance and attention to detail were unmistakable. We ordered the wagyu, lobster with pasta, and salmon and they were all of the highest quality, expertly prepared, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. Each bite felt like a masterpiece. Though the prices are on the higher side, the experience, service, and premium ingredients justify the cost.

Good dining spot with really delicious nigiri’s. To be honest, I found it a good but not-so-special place The menu is short in options. The one that definitely stands out are the nigiri’s and seafood carpaccios. The ramen broth was great. The sushi menu was short in options, but I wouldn’t recommend the fried rice with tuna tartare - definitely not good, salty, dry and overpriced. The special miso truffle soup, has no truffle flavour to it. Anyhoo, it was okay - would repeat to see if any other dish wows me.

the atmosphere was breathtaking beautiful, Kris was super nice and checking on us every couple of minutes.

To be honest this was the worst restaurant we visited in our holiday. It started with the reservation. I couldn't make a reservation via email. Our concierge tried multiple times to make the reservation. Finally he could manage to. The Vero is a restaurant and belongs to the Rixos. So 99% guest ate hotel guest. Means Russians and most pretty extra casual. If you look for an elegant evening - that's not the place. Then the food: not bad. It's ok. We received the starter AFTER the main course. The service guy tried to safe the situation somehow. But they failed. 1 star for the ok food. 1 star for the nice service guy. 1 star for the beautiful hotel. The rest is pretty mediocre. I mean the restaurant is not extremely bad. But there are plenty of better options in Abu Dhabi.

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

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

Italian restaurant
Villa Toscana offers a blend of traditional Italian flavors in a modern and elegant setting, drawing inspiration from the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, and Emilia-Romagna. While they are known for their delicious takeaway pizzas, their a la carte menu shines with dishes like veal rolls stuffed with porcini mushrooms and Milanese-style cheese stracciatella. The restaurant also boasts an impressive wine selection to complement the meal.
From complimentary to appetizer to main course, We had the best dinner here. We savor every bite. They have lot of options for wine too. Service is great! They check you from time to time. Only thing is staff needs to visit before we take a bite not on the time we’re chewing our food, coz It happened 3 times. 😆 Anyway all in all it was a great experience!

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

The ambiance is quite romantic, making it a perfect place for an intimate dinner with your loved one or a lovely outing with a few friends. There is also complimentary valet parking and a beautiful outdoor area. It’s a bit too hot for the summer days, but I’m sure during the rest of the year it would be lovely to sit outside.

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

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

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

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

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

Buffet restaurant
Nestled within The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Oléa Mediterranean Restaurant offers a sophisticated and modern dining experience with a stunning terrace boasting panoramic ocean views. Indulge in a refreshing al fresco meal with family or friends while savoring an array of international specialties from the lavish buffet.
I was really surprised by the quality and varieties of food they have in the buffet! I couldn't stop eating 😂. I loved the pastry, even they put clove almost everywhere😁. Unfortunately I didn't take a lot of pics of the food cause every time I put it on the table it didn't last long lol. Lunch options were few but portions weren't small and the food was fresh and good too. All the personnel are very helpful and friendly, and the service is good too. They always ask you if you need something else and do the best for you. Highly recommended!

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

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

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

Amazing lounge cafe with unexpectedly good quality of food. Located at 3rd floor of St Regis hotel. Definitely try ribs and desserts. Hookah is just good.

I was happy to finally find a healthy salad! It’s a little pricey - $27 USD with a water - but you’re paying for the ambiance and excellent service. The view is just OK. You have to make dinner reservations to be able to go upstairs to the dining room. Owell! The only real negative was they were BLASTING music into my eardrums like it was a nightclub, but in fact, it was just a chill evening, 7pm.

The visit started pleasantly — we were welcomed nicely and the staff were polite. However, the service was disappointing: it took over 15 minutes to get the bill, and we had to go to the counter ourselves to ask for it. When paying, they made a mistake, and we had to come back to pay additional hidden tax and service charges. Very disappointed, especially because it’s not just about the money, but about respect for guests’ time.

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

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

Nahaam is a contemporary poolside cafe located in the Conrad hotel in Abu Dhabi. It offers a variety of cafe fare, smoothies, and an all-you-can-eat Saturday brunch experience. The brunch features traditional carveries, grilled meat stations, sushi and seafood counters, tandoors and curry sections, as well as an entire room dedicated to cheese. Recently revamped, the new shared-style presentation brings an array of delectable delights directly to your table.
It was an amazing brunch! Such a large selection of food! A lot of seafood. I tried crab, mussels, oysters, and shrimp in various forms. The cook prepares fresh pasta, and you can also enjoy meat. The restaurant also has a large selection of sushi, rolls and desserts. We were sitting on the terrace, and an amazing singer was singing next to us, and I was very pleased with the musical repertoire

The pros : staff at the entrance or the restaurant was very nice and took time to explain the differences with Sole, the Italian restaurant next door in the same floor of the hotel. Food was good and portions were generous. The cons : ingredients could have been of better quality. Whilst the chicken was well prepared, the chicken quality could be better. Service by the pool was not very efficient, tables weren’t cleaned regularly and we had to get up to manage to pay our bill. Seating by the pool was quite noisy with children playing in the pool.

As a vegan, I don't typically go out to brunches. Something about paying the same amount as someone who has access to filet mignon and fresh oysters, only to eat some salads and steamed vegetables... it just doesn't feel worth it. But today I tried the Nahaam Saturday brunch, and wow - they really pulled out all the stops. Instead of just pointing out the vegan options in their (already impressive) buffet and live-cooking stations, the chef decided to send dish after impressive dish straight to my table - all made especially for me, and fully vegan. I felt like royalty! It actually got to the point where I had to ask them to stop because I couldn’t keep up. And at the end, they even packed up the leftovers for me - I left with a second meal in hand. Some of the dishes they brought out included: Vegan pizza Avocado maki Watermelon “feta” salad with walnuts Asian-style noodles with veggies Fresh Vietnamese spring rolls Tofu poke bowl Roasted vegetables with hearts of palm, asparagus, carrots, and soya mince And a delicious slice of vegan chocolate cake Everything tasted great, felt fresh, and was well thought out - not like an afterthought. The plating was also really nice. On top of that, I loved that the soft drink package included mocktails, not just sodas. I had a really good passion fruit mojito that I’d happily order again. Service throughout was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was relaxed but elegant, and overall it was just a great experience. With Entertainer, I paid less than 300 AED for the soft drinks package, which is honestly amazing value for the quality and service. If you’re vegan/vegetarian and wondering if this brunch is worth it - it absolutely is. And even if you’re not vegan, you’ll still enjoy the food, drinks, and experience. Highly recommend.

I go to here for a conference dinner, the atmosphere is very good, the food is also good, but the conference management arranged the dinner and live music, so I can't say much about the normal conditions of the restaurant, but If you want to arrange a private party here, this is a very good place. You can also go here for dinner with your wife and girlfriend. I can't say much about the prices here because the food was from the conference, but such places. But the prices are always high but when we go to such a place we never see the price but the quality of the food and the atmosphere.

I went down to try the august menu ‘sips of summer’ mocktails with some dinner. They look like liquid art! Beautiful and refreshing.

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

Plus, the ‘Sips of Summer’ stamp card challenge made it even more fun: collect five stamps and enjoy the sixth drink on the house 🍸🥥🍹 Bonus: drop your full card in the draw for a chance to win a dinner at the end of the month. Highly recommend this gem for an unforgettable dining experience and of-course Sips of Summer. Can’t wait to go back! 💫

The Grill is a renowned dining spot in KCA, suitable for various occasions such as date nights, work dinners, or gatherings with friends. The menu boasts American prime rib, Argentinian Hereford beef, and Australian wagyu at prices starting from AED255. One of the popular dining deals is the 505 offering a choice of Argentinian Rib Eye or Chateaubriand accompanied by sides, sauces, and a bottle of Casarena Malbec.
We had a wonderful dinner at The Grill, Marriott Al Forsan! The steak was absolutely top-notch—tender, flavourful, and perfectly cooked just the way we liked it. They offer a great variety of meats, and our favourite was the Argentina grass-fed steak. 🥩 What made the experience even more special was the attentive and exceptional service, especially from Gianna. 💛 We’ll definitely be coming back for another round of great wine and steak! 🥩🍷

A disappointing experience. I was so excited to come here to try the food because the menu had so menu great options, but maybe I ordered the wrong things. First off the seafood soup was just okay. Now I admit I don’t prefer tomato-based soups, but this was actually better than I expected after I saw it was red. But, I think a light clear or thick white seafood soups would have been much better. Then, the lobster ravioli comes out also with a tomato/red sauce. Why have two seafood dishes with the same taste palette? Again, the lobster ravioli should have had a white buttery/garlic sauce. I don’t know why there was so much red sauce with seafood! To me, a bad culinary decision. But in the end, not only the worse choice, but it wasn’t that good: undercooked and the stuffing seemed not fresh. The oysters were okay, and the bread was great. But the cocktail wasn’t great either!

Amazing! I booked here for my partners birthday, the restaurant team could not be anymore helpful. I explained it was his birthday and that I wanted to ordered a desert but he didn’t like sweet things so could I order a cheeseboard, they went above and beyond! The food was amazing! Was one of the best steaks he had had. We went quite early around 6:30 so it was quiet but I can imagine it gets busier later and even though it was quiet there was a saxophonist who created a lovely atmosphere. Thank you again, much appreciated!

Today, We revisited after a year and it was TERRIBLE.. We USED to be regulars at this restaurant for 7 years. They have introduced a new promotional concept on Fridays called "Butcher's Feast". We were shocked by how bad is the "feast". The meat was all cold, fatty and felt stale. The sauce was not even warm. Luckily the management was gracious and refunded two of our meals since we barely touched it. The restaurant was not busy but service staff was inattentive, you should demand to clear the table or refill water glasses. We would only return to eat the al a carte menu, if that.

Took the family to The Grill as it was my youngest daughter’s birthday. Had high expectations but unfortunately it fell short. Service was non existing, waited for more than 20 minutes for our beverage order, not even once did any of the waiters/waitresses stop by to ask if we needed anything. Food came after we had waited for more than an hour. Luckily daughter didn’t notice the non existing service. But for me it was a massive dissapointment and ill not be going back and I can’t recommend The Grill to anyone.

We visited Li Jiang at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi on February 14th and opted for the Valentine’s Day set menu, which was priced at 600 AED for two (approximately 163 USD). Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. From the start, the welcome felt inconsistent - every other table received warm towels except for us, which was an odd way to begin the evening. The set menu included five courses, but it took us an exhausting three hours to complete due to extremely slow service. After finishing the appetizers, we waited over 30 minutes for the salad, which turned out to be nothing more than shredded cucumbers and carrots with a few small pieces of seafood. When implementing a set menu for a special occasion, dishes should be well-prepared in advance, yet this was clearly not the case. The gap between each course was 30-40 minutes, and the portions were so tiny that we finished each dish in under five minutes - only to then sit and wait for the next one. Service-wise, we had mixed feelings. The set menu included soft beverages, but no one asked us what we wanted until we specifically requested it after our first starter. It became increasingly clear that the restaurant was not prepared for the evening, as we saw waiters rushing around in a half-empty restaurant. We shared our feedback, and while the staff apologized, the experience had already been ruined. The final frustration came when settling the bill. After handing over 500 AED to pay 300 AED, we waited 15 minutes for the change. When I finally asked about it, the waitress replied that she assumed I didn’t need change since I hadn’t explicitly asked for it. In a restaurant of this level, should guests really have to remind the staff to bring back their own money? That’s absolutely ridiculous. Even after sharing our disappointment, they still presumed the change was a tip - which left a very sour taste.

Excellent overall experience the value to price ratio is consistent with this restaurant being in a up market area. The hotel staff were exceptional as one of the managers helped me down the stairs as I had a bad foot. Upon entering the hotel it has class. The restaurant is located through the lobby down the stairs and on the right. There are elevators for those that have mobility challenges. There was a live pianist while I was walking through which was super pleasant to listen to. The restaurant entrance has walls of sake and the place to go is outside with a view of the grand mosque. Starters were edame beans and crackers. With the all you can eat sushi on a Tuesday as part of a set menu. The sushi and sashimi were super with the sweet soya sauce. The mains were rich and dessert on point. They have a wide variety of drinks available. Would definitely comeback here. Excellent venue for a business dinner or date.

This restaurant is in Abu Dhabi and honestly although I live in Dubai I couldn't be happier to drive down for a meal there. We were there last night after two years as and although the food was fairly good, I felt that it was not the sans quality as it had been previously. We ordered quite a few starters, and main courses as well, I would recommend the chicken Satay in starters and in the main course we tried Sweet and Sour Chicken which was average, the chicken pad Thai was good, duck curry was great as well. I feel the food is not the same standard as before so hopefully they can make some improvements on the menu. Portions are small. Lovely view outdoors.

A delightful experience! Located at the Ritz Carlton, this Pan Asian themed restaurant does provide some delectable fare. Tasteful decor, airy and pleasant environment,fully licensed , ably manned by pleasant staff are the points to root for. None of the above, however, would be important if the food is not appetising. The restaurant scores high on food ,flavourful and well presented. A wide range of mixed drinks are available to set the stage for a please evening. We tried the Californian sushi rolls , the Uramaki sushi rolls , Chowmein with beef, and Li Jiang fried rice, each of which was superlative. We topped it off with some Turan a dessert made of banana and pineapple, which was the perfect way to end the meal. Certainly, I would visit again to try some more of their specialties.

Namak, the culinary gem crafted by renowned Chef Kunal Kapur, offers an unforgettable Indian dining experience nestled within the Dusit Thani hotel in the heart of the city’s vibrant business district. This colorful restaurant is a celebration of India’s rich flavors and traditions, where each meal begins with a delightful gin trolley that sets the stage for an exquisite feast. The menu at Namak showcases a diverse array of dishes inspired by various regions across India, from North to South.
We visited Namak to celebrate Diwali and had a really nice dinner. The restaurant itself didn’t have much of a festive or holiday vibe, and it was almost empty, which felt a bit sad for such an occasion. However, the service and food made up for it. The portions were generous compared to other restaurants of similar rank, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Our waiter, Nine, was very polite and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout the evening. The background music also added a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Overall, a great dining experience with excellent service and food - just wish it had felt a bit more festive for Diwali.

After a long tiring day in Mubadala, we wanted to fill our tummy with some delicious food and Namak was our priority yesterday. Delicious mutton, tender tandoori, tangy prawns, soft Naan, Biryani full of fragrance and exotic vegetables. Thank you very much and your service was amazing. We will visit once again soon!

Me and my husband had gone to Namak for lunch and our experience was very very disappointing, no wonder we didn’t find anyone else other than ourselves. As starters we ordered goolgapa and to our shock the puris were very stale and not at all fresh. Then we thought maybe main course might be good and ordered Mint lacha parrata, potato kulcha with Batti ka Buna Gosht, you won’t believe it, the kulcha and the parata was totally bland, not a pinch of salt added to it. I had to ask for salt separately. The Buna Gosht was a total flop. Along with the main course we had ordered Aloo side dish with pomegranates in it, and we got another shock after tasting the aloos, it was completely undercooked and didn’t have any taste, they just put 3 seeds of pomegranate. After all this disappointments we decided not to go for dessert, coz surely even that would have been an utter flop. We’ve had similar dishes from other simple North Indian outlets, and they are 1000 times better in taste and service than this SO CALLED MICHELIN STAR NAMAK!!! 😡😡😡. These dishes for just the 2 of us costed 500+. We will never again visit Namak.

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

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!

A great place for a celebration. They offer delicious Indian food that would make you a fan of this cuisine. Classy decor as well as courteous staff. It would have been a five star rating if only the price was a little bit less. Even with entertainer app, the tab still put a little dent in the wallet. But our overall experience was great and memorable.

Atmosphere and service what defines this place, excellent job. As far as the food goes, well lets just say i have tasted much better quality. The beryani had no taste, and the bread that came with our dish was so artificial. I think if they work on the ingredients, they will be one of the best restaurants in the capital.

With the best desserts in the city, an array of timeless signature dishes and many new menu additions Tamba is always a great place to dine. Add in the fantastic service and stylish decor and it's an all round winner. Add Tamba to your 'must-try' list and don't let its mall location put you off - it's fully licensed and has a good atmosphere. The Indian-inspired cuisine is top notch, make sure to leave room for dessert because they are all worth sampling but definitely try my favourite, the chocolaty deliciousness that is the Break-up.

My wife and I were on an afternoon adventure exploring the all the nooks and crannies of the WTC Mall and our last stop was Tamba. We had been wanting to try this restaurant out but just never made it their. It was late afternoon when we stopped by. We slowly opened the door to see if their were open for customers, the place was void of customers. We were warmly greeted and asked if we wanted a table or to just sit at the bar. We opted for the bar. The decor and overall atmosphere for Tamba is sexy and chic. The colors are warm and alluring and I can imagine the they shimmer in the dimmed lighting and candle glow. We had a great server who quickly shared his knowledge of the menu and assisted us in selecting a couple of items. My description of the menu is Indian fusion. Many of the dishes are high end interpretations of Indian street foods. Check out the crazy video in the images below. The kitchen is opened to the dining area and all our dishes were served quickly. We had a basket of assorted naan... it was over the top versions of naan and each was quite different. We had a great afternoon and look forward to going back as the weather cools down to enjoy their rooftop seating. Tamba is definitely a restaurant for those fancy nights out and we can't wait for one of those again!

Astounding food with amazing ambience. However food quantity was not adequate compared to rates of the dishes. 3 or more dish one should order to urge over the starvation. Recommending Tamba to increase the food quantity. Also, there is no live music as told by Zomato and Google.

Understandably this is bar oriented place. Ambience is good spinning around Tamba theme We tried a starter n main course Delhi bite was chat based dish with on the table mixing and added effect by pouring liquid nitrogen. Crisoy Okra in lababdar sauce was good though also required mixing on the table. Bread basket was good but bite size rotis..... Pub food? But main course wee bit small. Food taste was good. Mocktails were good but sadly they did not allow Zomato Gold offer. Servers can do with smiles I guess. Presentation is best. Taste is good. Best suited for bar visits.

Best food we have ever eaten. 40 countries and hundreds, if not thousands, of restaurants later - nowhere compares to Tamba. The staff are so friendly and caring, the food is on another level, the restaurant is beautiful - you literally just cannot fault it. There are plenty of high-end restaurants in Abu Dhabi but Tamba is what we miss most. We have moved to London now and a year later are still yet to find anywhere that comes close to it. Tamba is truly in a league of its own. If it weren't for COVID, it would probably be worth flying back to Abu Dhabi just for Tamba. Cannot wait to go again. If you ever get the chance to visit, go! You will not regret it, it is one of the best dining experiences you will ever have.

5 Stars!- Italia Te amo What an amazing experience! I’ve been eagerly awaiting for this, and it certainly did not disappoint. Today brought back so many memories of my time in Italy. I remember sitting in front of the Colosseum with a pizza in hand, and I completely fell in love with the country and food . Verso restaurant you revived that feeling all over again !! It all began with a delicious Italian coffee and biscuits, served by the ever-so-chatty and welcoming manager Mr. Tommaso . As I sipped my coffee, the memories came flooding back—especially the warm hospitality and generosity of the Italians, which I felt again today. It’s no wonder people say you have to eat at Verso! I had the privilege of participating in a pasta masterclass under the guidance of Chef Andre and his assistant. Together, we made 11 different types of pasta, and I can’t wait to try them in my own kitchen. To top it all off, we got to enjoy one of his new additions to their menu as well to end the whole experience I got to eat their creations with a beautiful Parmesan rocket salad. Thank you for making this dream experience come true! Another tick on my bucket list, and my love for pasta has only grown stronger after this incredible pasta masterclass. Thank you again to the amazing restaurant for the time taken to spend with me today and the little book and apron I received. I highly recommend!

Nestled in the vibrant Mamsha Al Saadiyat, Antonia is a charming Italian trattoria that brings authentic flavors to life. With pizzas crafted from a 50-year-old sourdough starter and baked to perfection, each bite is a delightful experience. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere makes it perfect for casual dining, where you can savor not only the delicious pizza but also freshly made gelato available in tempting flavors like vanilla and pistachio.
We went on a Monday night and the place was packed. Despite that, the service was fast and the food are all tasty. Was not able to take photos of all the food but the steak and pizza were also very tasty. The staff are very accommodating. This will always be one of our fave spots in Mamsha.

Very busy restaurant for lunch on the weekend! Service is fast and staff very attentive to all our needs. Wide variety of starters, mains and of course pasta / pizza.

And very tempting creamy ice cream when you reach the exit, a mandatory stop to make sure you can leave the place with a refreshing wonderful memory!

Antonia is hands down the best Italian pizza restaurant in Saadiyat. The pizzas are fresh, light, and full of authentic flavor, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Italy.

We recently visited Antonia at Mamsha Beach, Saadiyat Island with my husband and our close friends, and it turned out to be an amazing find! My husband and I had been planning to celebrate our anniversary at an Italian restaurant since we both love Italian cuisine, and stumbling upon Antonia by chance made the evening even more special. Although the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated quickly. The staff were exceptional ,very cooperative, welcoming, always smiling, and genuinely helpful. They even guided us through the menu and took special care with one of our friends who has a seafood allergy. We ordered the crispy calamari with truffle sauce, Aperol Spritz, and some mocktails – all fantastic. For mains, we had the beef pasta (can’t recall the Italian name!) and the truffle pizza, both bursting with flavor. By the end, we were quite full but couldn’t resist dessert – the tiramisu and lemon sorbet were the perfect finish, followed by a classic espresso to complete the Italian experience. The ambience was lovely, with a relaxing beachside view and a cozy, quirky aesthetic that felt very inviting. The only minor challenge was finding parking, but we managed to park a short walk away ,totally worth it. Overall, a fantastic spot for authentic Italian food, great service, and a warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

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.

Hamilton's Gastropub, located on Saadiyat Island, stands out as the only place in the capital serving Hoegaarden Rosee, a raspberry-accented beer-wine crossover. The venue skillfully combines elements of a gastropub and sports bar with its massive square bar adorned with steel beams and large flat screens. The industrial yet upscale ambiance is complemented by delicate suspended lighting and wire-topped exposed brickwork.
We came here for dinner and drink. The atmosphere is very cool. They have tvs all around showing sports, a bar in the center and a pool table to the side. The menu is very typical British gastropub and they had offers of beer and mains options. We went for halloumi fries and a burger which came with french fries. For drinks we had a gin and soda and a beer. Everything was really tasty and service was very good. We came at a bit of an odd time so it was quite quiet but we’d love to come back to watch a match.

Absolutely awful experience here, I really don't understand the previous good reviews. Service was terrible, atmosphere was poor as smoking allowed inside. Food was terrible. Service - we booked however it took a while for them to find our booking after we were told they were fully booked. We were told to go and sit over there and not shown to our table. We waited a long time before drink and food order was taken. Food took a while then starters and mains all arrived at the same time, one of our mains didn't arrive at all but we had lost the will to live so left it as it was. Our second drinks order was incorrect. After we had been there an hour and a half we gave up on them coming to clear away our mains. Service wasn't friendly, we felt unwelcome. Food - no halloumi starter available. Ordered the honey chicken where they must have used the worst pieces of chicken ever - literally deep fried chicken fat and gristle.

The food & service was really nice and our waiter, Lin was fantastic! He greeted us with a warm smile and made great recommendations from the menu. He checked on us regularly without being intrusive and made sure our drinks were always full. The service was fast and friendly. So, we will definitely come back

We have visited Hamiltons several times during our stay, the food is so good, but one warning the portions are huge. The whole team are so friendly and can't do enough for you. It's a great sports bar, there are at least seven screens, viewing whatever you would like. There is an outdoor screen which apparently will get used from next weekend when it is a little cooler. There is a pool table. They serve a great pork belly, which is on a special license.

Mazi Restaurant delivers an exceptional Greek dining experience, offering a serene atmosphere, delicious food, and elegant decor that transports you straight to the heart of Greece. The dishes are bursting with authentic flavors, with fresh, perfectly seasoned meat and delightful garnishes. Our experience was elevated by the outstanding service, particularly from Nisha, who was incredibly polite, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout our meal. Her warm smile and expert guidance on the menu made our visit even more memorable. Dining at Mazi was a highlight of our stay at St. Regis, and we highly recommend it for anyone seeking a true taste of Greece.

If you’re staying at the St. Regis Saadiyat (or in that part of town), this restaurant is a good place to enjoy modern Greek cuisine. Menu options are plentiful, and presentation is spot-on. Ambience was a little flat, but interior decor is admirable.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Café Milano in Abu Dhabi and opted for the L’Italia in Tavola set menu - and what a journey it was! This thoughtfully curated menu took us on a flavorful trip across different regions of Italy, with each dish offering something unique and memorable. From the very beginning - a warm, comforting tomato soup - to the rich risotto and tender lamb, every course was a delightful surprise. One of the highlights for me was discovering that couscous is also part of Italian cuisine - a detail I never knew before! Every dish felt like a chapter in a story, rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The service was truly top-notch. The staff was attentive, warm, and professional, and the overall ambiance made us feel as though we were dining somewhere along the Italian coast. Café Milano does a wonderful job of bringing that authentic Italian atmosphere to Abu Dhabi.

I had an outstanding dining experience at Café Milano in Abu Dhabi. The atmosphere exudes relaxation, complemented by an amazing view that adds to the overall charm. The staff, notably the Italian manager, left a lasting impression with their exceptional friendliness and professionalism. The culinary delights were truly remarkable. The cacio e Pepe rigatoni showcased a perfect blend of flavors, and the meat dishes were of superb quality. The tiramisu stood out as a decadently creamy and rich finale to a delightful meal. Café Milano undoubtedly earns my highest recommendation. From its high-quality cuisine to the attentive and friendly staff, it’s a gem that promises a memorable dining experience.

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

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

As a couple we visited the restaurant yesterday for the first time to add finest Indian flavours to the birthday and our choice didn't disappoint us! We had the finest ever dining experience right from the moment we entered - Amicable welcome, Lovely ambience and wonderful service by staff. Being vegetarians, we were explained clearly about the best options to choose, served well with attention to details. Spice customization was also well addressed and to our satisfaction. Starter and the main course recommendations were tasty. Kudos to the chef! Food platter was visually appealing too- Appreciate the presentation skills. Final gesture with a surprise 'Rose milk cake' end of dining - just before paying, the staff came to know and arranged in a matter of few seconds - It was such a sweet gesture! Overall good dining experience we had in Moksh! Special appreciations to staff who made our dining extra-special: Ms.Varuni, Mr. Nitesh & Mr.Abishek. Will definitely visit with my family again sooner.

We visited Moksh, a fine dining restaurant, to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance was nice, and we ordered the India Platter, which is beautifully presented on a map of India. However, it was disappointing that the restaurant restricts this platter to only two people, even though the portion is easily enough for at least four. Priced around AED 500, it isn’t exactly reasonable either. Since we were three, we were asked to order an additional main course, which led to us taking leftovers home and eating them the next day just to avoid wasting food. My suggestion: guests know their appetite best. If they need more food, they’ll happily order more. After making the effort to visit your restaurant, customers should not be forced into ordering more than they want. It’s about the experience, not rules.

Stopped by for lunch before heading out of Abu Dhabi, and we’re glad we did! We ordered the Business Non-Veg Thali Set Lunch and Lamb Biryani. The thali set was delicious; full of flavour and well balanced, especially the Butter Chicken and Rogan Josh. The Lamb Biryani was a bit mild for our taste and didn’t stand out as much as the thali, but the meat was tender and well-cooked. Big thanks to Netish for the excellent service and warm hospitality!

I really enjoyed this place. Went here for my birthday with my family And right from the gate, they were the sweetest to us. My niece was hopping around, and they got her a colouring paper and crayons. They heated up her food. Got her a special plate in glass. We were having Panipuri and she asked for one, so they specially made one for a baby and gave her on the house. She suddenly asked for chai and they also gave her a little bit something to drink in her glass. Everywhere she was hopping around, someone was watching over her to take care of her. We never felt so relieved in a restaurant before. They were so attentive to us the entire time. Now coming to food, We loved their sliders. There was a chicken and lamb slider, and I specially love the lamb one a lot. The mushroom gravy was just perfect, not too sweet, not too spicy. And the Parda biryani was soo delicious. And towards the end, they brought out a tiny cake and played a birthday song for us. Very representative of the Indian hospitality.

Wonderful Indian Dining Experience! I visited this Indian restaurant and absolutely loved it! I had the lentil soup and the seafood soup to start — both were flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Then I tried the butter chicken with freshly baked naan bread, and it was amazing — tender chicken, rich sauce, and authentic spices. The pomegranate juice was refreshing and balanced in sweetness, a perfect way to finish the meal. A big thank you to Waruni and Abhishek for their excellent service!

Maru Japanese Restaurant hidden in the club house of Abu Dhabi City Golf Club, in my opinion, is by far the best Japanese, Korean experience of what great authentic Asian food is, that I have experienced in the UAE.. I have travelled extensively throughout the world including Korea, Japan and many other Asian countries, and you’ll get that food experience at Maru. It’s your ‘hole in the rock type of restaurant, where good food is affordable with a beer or glass of wine or Saki!’ And family friendly or with a group of friends to stay and enjoy till late.. It’s hard to choose which dish is the best as there are many options for all, down to your Korean fried chicken, however, if I was to choose, it would be seafood soups, rolls of sushi…. If you are looking for 5 star level of good food that is affordable and accessible to all.. come to Maru! Family owned restaurant, Johnny the owner will surely look after you..

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!

The chef was approachable and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable.

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!

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. Parking Ample street parking available I’m a food blogger in Abu Dhabi. Do follow me on Instagram @sharonkareena and TikTok @therealsharonkareena

Lebanese restaurant
Em Sherif Cafe is a new lebanese restaurant in Abu Dhabi, serving up delicious food and stunning views of the ocean. It's currently open over iftar hours only, but you can make reservations to enjoy their delicious dishes any time.
It was unplanned visit to this restaurant with my family and honestly I don’t think we were dressed appropriately for this beautiful place as we were just looking for a place to eat and ran into this restaurant along the beach but never the less we were very welcomed. The service was exceptional, the food was probably the best meal we had in Abu Dhabi. Their hummus is so smooth and the chicken liver (not an item I often order) was outstanding! We also had fattoush salad and meat - everything was mouthwatering. The price was very fair for the quality. Definitely a 5 star for me! (No pictures of good as it was eaten quickly) 😁 P.S. Don’t forget to pay for your parking if you are driving!!! We didn’t know and got a ticket.

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

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

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