I had a very disappointing experience at Bla Bla Bar. The ladies at the entrance were extremely rude, unwelcoming, and never smiled. They treated people without respect, which creates a very negative first impression.

On top of that, the security guard gave himself too much authority over guests, acting in a disrespectful manner without any valid reason. This behavior is unacceptable, especially in a country like the UAE that prides itself on hospitality and welcoming good people from all over the world.

To make things worse, the table booking system is confusing and unfair. On ladies’ night, most of the tables were allocated to single men, while many ladies were pushed to sit at the Bar instead. This doesn’t make sense and clearly shows poor management of reservations.

In Abu Dhabi, people rely heavily on word of mouth when choosing where to go out. Experiences like this spread quickly, and they can seriously damage the reputation of a place.

A Fresh Start with Flavor and Atmosphere The newly reopened @blablabar_abudhabi has returned with style — and it’s clear they’ve leveled up. The vibe is spot-on: warm lighting, stylish decor, and a welcoming energy that hits as soon as you walk in. Whether you’re grabbing a casual drink or settling in for dinner, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively.

The food? Outstanding. Each dish we tried was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. From small bites to mains, the kitchen delivers consistent quality and creativity. The menu features a mix of comfort favorites and bold new flavors — something for everyone.

The service was a bit slow it took some time for us to receive all the food. However, overall service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the cocktails were just as impressive as the food. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to — not just for the great meals, but for the whole experience.

Highly recommend giving it a visit while the energy is still fresh...
