Yas Bay Waterfront is one of the liveliest places to spend Ramadan evenings in Abu Dhabi, which is why Bushra by Buddha-Bar feels like such an unexpected find.
Sitting right at the far end of The Pier, it almost feels tucked away from the main flow of people while still part of the energy of the bay. It’s the perfect spot to catch the sunset.
Inside Bushra by Buddha-Bar, the interiors feature arched mirrors, dramatic lighting, and warm furnishings, making the space feel more intimate than many of the larger Ramadan venues across the city.
As Iftar approaches, live music begins with an oud player, making the terrace the idyllic place to spend the evening.
Lebanese Flavours With a View
The buffet features Lebanese and regional flavours, beginning with dates and Ramadan drinks. Colourful mezze and salads served alongside freshly baked warm pitta.
Hot stations offer shawarma and grilled skewers, freshly prepared pasta, lamb ouzi, majboos chicken, and slow-cooked tagines.
Dessert is equally inviting, mixing classics such as kunafa and baklava with lighter options, an ice-cream station, and a beautiful display of fresh fruits.
The service and hospitality are a real standout, with attentive staff constantly circulating to ensure tables are refreshed and guests feel genuinely looked after throughout the evening.
Overlooking Yas Bay at night is an unlikely place to break your fast, but it is perfectly positioned if you want to continue the evening, whether that means a stroll past the Ramadan decorations, taking a boat on the bay, or simply soaking up the atmosphere of the Yas Bay Waterfront.
Iftar runs daily from sunset until 10 pm, priced at AED 249 per person and AED 129 for children aged six to twelve.
