Al Gusto, Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Had a great time at Al Gusto with my friends. It’s a great place for a family meal, for a coffee date or even take-away. Located in Etihad Towers, it was super convenient to organize lunch with my friends there. They also have valet parking available.
For a limited time they have a groupon. You can have a high-quality Italian worth up to 400 AED for just 199 AED (50%). Check out Groupon for all the details.
I went with 3 of my friends to try out a bunch of dishes. Here are our picks – best of all you can get everything for only 199dhs with the Groupon! Enjoy!
Starters
You can start with the Halloumi (45 dhs) and the Verde Verdura Salad (49 dhs). The Holloumi was grilled to perfection, features 4 pieces so its perfect for sharing. The Salad comes with a side of yogurt dressing and is a great fresh starter for the meal to come.
Mains
A must-try main at Al Gusto is the Seafood Paella (80 dhs), It definitely does not disappoint, it is loaded with claims, mussels, calamari, prawns and a light napolitana sauce.
The Lasagna is a classic choice. They make it perfectly here at Al Gusto. Its quite filling so be sure to leave room for dessert after. Its made with layers of pasta, homemade Bolognese Ragu topped with fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Great value too, at only 52 dhs.
A recommended chicken dish would be the Satay Chicken (59 dhs). It comes in a nice presentation with 3 chicken skewers on top of a bowl of lime and lemongrass risotto. The chicken skewers were quite yummy and flavorful! I also enjoyed the risotto very much. This dish was perfect for sharing among 3 persons.
Desserts
Lastly, you must order a type of coffee at Al Gusto, they have the most amazing coffee art. I had a latte (20 dhs) with a man’s face on it. The detail is marvelous! Such talented baristas at Al Gusto.
As well, the Al Gusto Tiramisu (45 dhs) is as my friend Archie quotes ‘the best tiramisu in Abu Dhabi’. I love it too for its coffee jelly and mascarpone cream. Its topped with a kunafa sugar nest which makes it quite an artistic dessert. A+ for the presentation and taste.
