A city like Abu Dhabi is a harmonious blend of cultures from countries all around the globe. This rich diversity has given rise to countless cuisines that are worth exploring, whether you’re visiting or an expatriate who calls the city home. From vibrant street food and flavorful sushi to classic shawarma and popular fast-food joints like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Burger King—there’s something for every taste. When it comes to Eat & Drink in Abu Dhabi, the options are truly endless. However, your culinary journey wouldn’t be complete without sampling some of the region’s unique and authentic specialties that define the UAE’s food scene.
Due to the UAE’s prime location in the Persian Gulf, the country relies heavily on seafood, and Middle Eastern spices like saffron, cinnamon, turmeric and cardamon are highly favoured. Rice, yoghurt, meat and chicken are among the country’s other staples.
Keep in mind that finding traditional Emirati foods in Abu Dhabi can be pretty challenging, especially in touristy areas. So be sure to download your trusted Map app to help you navigate the city and find the restaurant you are looking for.
If you are passionate about Eat & Drink in Abu Dhabi , finding international cuisines will never be an issue, no matter the time of year you plan a visit, which also applies to Emirati cuisines. Still, we strongly suggest you visit during the holy month of Ramadan (a time of fasting for Muslims).
At this time of year, plenty of restaurants offer traditional Emirati Iftars (meal to break fast) and Suhoors (last meal before fasting), so you will be able to enjoy a delectable feast of culinary delights.
