ABU DHABI DINING : Dining in Abu Dhabi Guide (UAE)
Hotels provide a remarkable number of dining options and serve not only their own guests, but also large numbers of local residents.
Coffee shops, fine dining restaurants and speciality outlets are often present and the standard of service is on a par with the best in the world. Top class restaurants in the city’s hotels include French, Italian, Swiss, Mediterranean, Spanish, Greek, British to German. Asia is equally well represented.
Outside the hotels, there are fantastic dining destinations around the city. While restaurants located outside hotel and club premises are not permitted to serve alcohol, all are air-conditioned, clean and are often culinary adventures in their own right.
Middle East Cuisine
Abu Dhabi is an excellent place to sample all types of Gulf and Middle Eastern cuisine, including Iranian, Moroccan and Lebanese. Arabian food makes up an important part of most buffet spreads.
Specialties include:
Hoummus: a dip made from chick-peas and sesame seeds. Tabbouleh: chopped parsley, mint and crushed wheat. Ghuzi: a whole roast lamb on a bed of rice mixed with nuts. Wara enab: vine leaves stuffed with rice. Koussa mahshi: stuffed courgettes.
Local Dishes include:
Matchbous: spiced lamb with rice. Hareis: a rich delicacy of slow-cooked wheat and tender lamb. Seafood served with specially seasoned rice.
Delicious Regional Desserts include:
Umm Ali (literally ‘Mother of Ali’): a type of bread pudding. Esh asaraya (meaning ‘bread of the harem’): a sweet kind of cheesecake with a cream topping. Mehalabiya: a pudding sprinkled with rosewater and pistachios.
Visitors especially enjoy fresh fish from the Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean — lobster, cigale, crab, hammour, shrimp, tuna, kingfish, pomfret and red snapper. A traditional Middle Eastern snack is the shawarma — grilled shavings of lamb or chicken, mixed with salad and rolled inside a pocket of Arabic bread and sold in many small outlets around the city. Standards of international cuisine in Abu Dhabi are high and the choice is wide. Bon appetite!
