Where to eat Asian food in Abu Dhabi: The Best Restaurants and Bars

December 30, 2019 Franklyn Hardiman

Best Asian restaurants nearby. Discover the best Asian food in Abu Dhabi. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Asian restaurants near you.. 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.

Indigo

Contemporary Modern Indian Restaurant with an avant garde approach on North Indian cuisine, yet offering choices for the traditional palette.

Reviewed By dee99Surrey

Stayed at Beach rotana for second year. Visited indigo twice during our stay. We are well travelled throughout the world having stayed in hotels and visited restaurants in London, Malaysia, Thailand, Bali, USA etc but have never had better and more attentive service than provided by Nadeem (waiter) and Manager (Samir). They made our experience so good the first time and we thought it couldn’t be better but they made it even better the second time!! Brought us dishes that were totally off menu! Knew what we were drinking recommended dishes to us. Keep up the great service definitely one of the best restaurants at Rotana.

My wife and I had a chance to go there last night and came away so impressed with the quality of service, the waiter Ahmed Abuzeid was one of the nicest people we have met since being in UAE. The food at Barfly was outstanding, so much so it was hard to walk away from getting just one more plate at the sushi social. Thank you for the outstanding atmosphere, food, and service!

Visited the place , based on 5 star reviews . However was disappointed with the food . The fried chicken was ordinary with not much meat , the fish cakes were taste but doubt the fish was a fresh. The papaya salad had a strong fish sauce odour and the pad Thai just about average .We tried the Sushi as well - nothing to write about . Have to say the portion sizes are small as well.Dear Valued Guest,Greetings from Desert Lotus Restaurant.It is with great regret and apprehension  that we received  your feedback regarding unfortunate experience you had with our service.We are very serious when it comes to our client’s satisfaction so we have taken  number of measures and make every effort to ensure that this problem will not happen again in the future.Once again, on behalf of the DLR team, we apologize if our service did not meet your expectation and for inconvenience we have caused.Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

Indian food meets fine dining and the result is the best Indian cuisine I've ever eaten, including in India. Only possible negative was the waiter trying to serve me a glass of stale and flat prosecco - an easily resolved issue though.

Reviewed By Reshma_b1203

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 you’re in the Corniche vicinity as you’d be very looked after with spectacular service and views.

Reviewed By dels_travel

Without a doubt the best Asian buffet I’ve ever had. The selection of food on offer was incredible and all incredibly fresh. The scallops and tuna were cooked to perfection as was the dim sum and the hot selection was piping hot.There was also a live DJ playing which added atmosphere and complimented the Theatricals of the chefs cooking at their stations.We dined on the second occasion from the A la carte menu and both dishes were stunning. I had the red Thai Curry while my companion had the beef, again cooked to perfection. Dim sum starters were perfect and you have to try the wasabi prawns too!If you are staying at the Ritz this place is a must and if you are staying elsewhere in Abu Dhabi I would recommend coming here for dinner.Dear Dels_travel,Thank you for taking the time to share your Li Jiang dining experience.We are pleased to see that you have found pleasure in booth, our new late brunch concept and our a la carte offer. I will share your wonderful comments personally with the team and rest assured they will be thrilled.Looking forward to welcoming you back I would like to thank you again for your support.Best regards,Peter KavcicDirector of Banquets
