Last week, I was invited to enjoy iftar at the Saraya Ramadan Tent next to Nation Towers in Abu Dhabi. A grand tent is set up right by the Corniche, you would not miss it! Outside, there is ample parking and even valet parking available. As sunset approached we quickly went through the front entrance where we were greeted by a red-carpet welcome.
I’ve been to the Benihana – Abu Dhabi twice now, once for their sushi a la carte and the most recent time for their contemporary teppanaki experience. The restaurant is located in the Beach Rotana hotel, beside Abu Dhabi mall.
Teppanaki Review: 4****
Fine Japanese cuisine with a great show. Its suggested to make a reservation prior to coming, especially if you’re opting for Teppanaki as they have specific times /limited seating. Our preferred time was 7:30 pm but were told they did not have any times available. We took the next available time for 8:30pm.
When we arrived for our reservation we were seated immediately but there were many tables that were empty. We waited for around 20 minutes before our chef came to our table.
I found yet another perfect spot for a coffee/cake date! This beautiful antique cafe is situated in the Al Reem Island – Shams Boutiq Mall on the 2nd floor. You won’t miss it at all as it is beautifully decorated with bright and bold luxurious blue fabrics – Saray Yildizlar.
The Deal
They have a special for 23AED which includes a hot beverage and a slice of cake!
