Starting with my review today I came to this place thinking it’s the perfect for chilling doing some work and having a calm breakfast. But unfortunately the experience turned to be the worst in Abu Dhabi. I don’t know where to start with my review, is it from the staff to service or the difference in their service based on the group coming!!!!. I came with my sister to have a breakfast and once we entered the staff were staring at us with no welcome or good morning greeting I even said it to them. And when we were checking the table we want to sit on they came and kept asking you wanna sit here or there they were doing it in a very annoying way. They didn’t even give us the menu although a group of ladies came after us and they ran to them serving , offering the menu and water!!! And guess what although we placed our order first which was two avocado toast the ladies group dishes all came first and we had to wait 10 more minutes for our order. Such a bad service and this is not only for us I heard other ladies complaining about the delay in food service and staff. They are again so annoying and come every 5 minutes to ask for a chair to borrow from our table , or to ask if we wanna order extra food and coffee although we told them we will call you if we need anything and coming to that staff keeps staring at u while you eat !!! Such a bad experience. Coming now to food it’s not even average below it very bad and my toast came burnt and hard to eat !! The scrambled eggs and avocado tastes unflavored nothing special. I had to keep adding salt and pepper to honestly taste something. I don’t how such places operate and how is the manager operating such a bad restaurant. I won’t come here again such a bad experience and...
Read moreI have been visiting Alkaline Restaurant regularly ever since I discovered it. It’s a rare find, I must say—the vibe is seamless and relaxed, creating an atmosphere that welcomes and accommodates everyone, whether they are families, friends catching up, or individuals working. It’s impressive how they manage to cultivate such an environment; it’s not something you find easily.
The food is exceptional. The variety of health-focused dishes is truly outstanding, and everything I tried was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared. You can tell that the owner has poured her heart into every detail, including the decor, the music which is also spot on.
Though I don’t know the owner personally, she regularly checks on the customers. I want to congratulate her for how her attention to detail has resulted in an environment where everyone seems more present. Whether families are spending quality time together, people are reading, or friends are catching up, I noticed fewer folks glued to their phones. It felt refreshing to be in a place where you could enjoy your meal without distractions. Plus, I loved that I didn’t have to pull out my phone to look at the menu—what a nice change!
And let me not forget the staff—they're absolutely fantastic. You can tell they’ve been carefully chosen to provide excellent service, and it really makes a difference.
A truly...
Read moreDon't come here if you just want to waste your money I ordered an egg scramble croissant, which looked totally different from the picture in the menu. petite portion for its price, poor quality and thoughtless plating. Above all, egg scramble was way too salty and I asked a server to make scramble again saying that it's too salty after one bite, and their response was "this is our standard, so if you want the egg again you will be charged", speechless, the head chef there came out to deliver the same message. apparently that was the saltiest, poor and disasterous egg scramble croissant in my life that I tried in all sorts of brunch restaurants. the worst part was they still told me that I should've asked them to make it less salty in the beginning when I ordered it haha how would I know that this egg is going to be like this salty? especially with the restaurant name "healthy" restaurant? it truly is ridiculous. obviously they have such a tremendous self-pride in their food that they cannot accept customers' feedback at all. it's pathetic quality of food and service. don't choose this one. for sure you will have better experience anywhere...
