Customer Reviews
Food was nice and staff very friendly. Located within a residential complex and not too far from where we were staying on Yas Island. Our first time trying Emirati cuisine and it was nice. Chicken and lamb was tender and rice was flavourful. Liked the setting of the place with an open concept kitchen and decorated with a retro feel mix with tradition.
08/11/2024 Amazing place, definitely recommend. You finally feel like you are in a more traditional environment. We got there for a very early lunch around 12 pm so it wasn't crowded yet. All the food was delicious, especially the traditional salounat lamb dish. Will be one of my favorite memories of visiting Abu Dhabi.

Chicken and lamb was tender and rice was flavourful. Liked the setting of the place with an open concept kitchen and decorated with a retro feel mix with tradition. We have a pescatarian in our family and there are fish and prawn dishes. For vegetarians there are options such as lentils, chickpeas, salad and bread. We went on a weekday and there was ample parking available. I drove a Chevy Suburban. With a little bit of caution navigating the slope down to the basement carpark, managed to get it through without an issues. So if a Suburban can fit, most other cars will be easy.
A typical emirati restaurant. The food is excellent and very aromatic. The main dishes are hearty. Cooks and waiters are friendly. A special thanks to the smiling Nahim, very kind and attentive (for french people: he speaks french!). I like also the decoration.
