Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Food Guide: 10 Middle Eastern food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Abu Dhabi
Discover Restaurants offering the best Middle Eastern food in Abu Dhabi, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Atmospheric backstreets paint a very different picture to first impressions of Abu Dhabi. The often slick and modern capital of the U.A.E. presents a fascinating mixture of tradition and progression. Tracing its rich history back to around 3000 B.C., Abu Dhabi maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambiance than glitzy Dubai. Taxis are a safe, reliable way to get around sites such as The Corniche Park, the White Fort, the Heritage Village, which offers glimpses into Bedouin life, and the Women's Craft Centre.

He was ably assisted by Gondai who went out of his way to take care of us, and did all he could to make sure we had everything we needed.Make this restaurant your first choice when staying at the Ritz, you wont regret it.Thank you everyone at Mijana, we look forward to returning and seeing you all againDear Essexguy,Thank you for taking the time to review your dining experience at Mijana.We are pleased to see that you have fully enjoyed our selection of food and took particular mention of the service provided by Jibin and Gondai.

Liked the feel of the restaurant and the little additional touches. The food was good, mainly grilled meats on the menu for mains so if you like this kind of kebab style food it would be a good place. They bring loads of Arabic bread and nuts for you to sample. Would recommend.

We visited Abu Dhabi in mid-September and were looking for a place to hang out in the evenings- fortunately we came across Azura Panoramic Lounge which boasts beautiful scenes of Abu Dhabi, very attentive hosts (Jay and Jileen), and great shisha. Jay and Jileen made it all worthwhile, as they were very friendly, kind and attended to all our needs which included the fan, seating, I needed a plaster for a small cut and Jileen was kind enough to bring me one and Jay allowed me to use his own charger for my phone! In our final days Jay and Jileen provided some complimentary mocktails and ice creams which were delicious and very generous.Definitely worth a shout if youâre in the Corniche vicinity as youâd be very looked after with spectacular service and views.
