Al Mrzab Traditional Restaurant

The meal started with a fresh Fattoush salad, a mix of crisp vegetables, pomegranate seeds, and crunchy pita chips, lightly dressed with a zesty vinaigrette. Alongside it, the hummus was rich and creamy, pairing perfectly with the soft, warm flatbread.The highlight of the meal was the Machboos, a fragrant rice dish topped with tender, flavorful chicken and lamb, slow-cooked with aromatic spices and lentils. The portion was generous, making it perfect for sharing. The addition of boiled eggs added a nice touch of richness to the dish.Service was efficient, and the overall experience felt like a step into the heart of traditional Emirati cuisine. Whether you're a local or a visitor looking for a taste of authentic Gulf flavors, Al Mrzab is definitely a must-try. Highly recommended!

Food and service were top notch! Very tasty local food, the best I tried so far!

Amazing experience and great quality of ingredients used in preparation.We tried the Emirati lamb majboos, Kuwaiti chicken majboos, lamb kebab and chicken tareed. All these dishes were outstanding. Their saffron infused welcome drink was delicious too.The hospitality provided by our attendant Hamza was pure delight, he just made us feel at home and recommended their special delicacies.Truly enjoyed the experience and will certainly be back for more. Must try!

I recently dined here and was impressed by both the food and the service. The dishes were delicious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive.If you’re looking for great food and even better service, I highly recommend

Came across this restaurant on google for popular traditional food options in Abu Dhabi, turns out its very nice choice. Traditional ambience with Amazing food, hefty portions and very friendly staff. They even serve guests with complimentary dates and saffron water. I tried the lamb kebab with Kuwait rice as per recommendation of my server it was very delicious. I couldn’t finish it. The portions are very big. Price was also not very high given the fact it’s in the prime location with Michelin Tag.Fun Fact: During my dinner a local leader was dining with his American counterpart and discussing African Geopolitical situation it was no cool to listen them and the gentlemen were kind to offer some dessert to others and food suggestions to me. So you can guess how popular it is among the locals.

Loved the Food and Great Service. The best place for the traditional Emirati Food. For sure i will visit it again in the future.

If you are reading this review - do go, cuz we were glad we did! We had one of the best dining experience here.Everything about it was a unique experience for us (reviewing as a tourist) - dates and saffron juice (or shots rather) were served complimentary, the menu variety is good with many cuisines like Emirati, Kuwaiti etc, the staff were super friendly and explained the dishes so we could decide what to have, the service was great, the food taste was brilliant!We were very thankful to our waiter Babu (hope I got the name right) who explained everything to us and recommended some of their best dishes, otherwise we would have truly missed out. He also brought us complimentary Iraqi tea at the end which was a perfect end to our meal
