GALLERIA CAFE غاليريا كافيه — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

I don’t recommend this place they are playing with prices and taking people money we ordered food and while checking the bill the prices on the bill is not matching with the grand total and when we check they add 290 AED in the grand total which they are playing on this in them system this is not allowed and they must stop doing this then the waiter he keep lying to us and changing bill time to time with different amounts ? What does mean ? Plus we order something they serve something else and when we said the the waiter Mohamed or Mahmod I don’t remember his name from Egypt he said sorry I post wrong order however just eat because I can’t change nothing how it’s rude I’m coming to your restaurant to order what I want or you will give me what do you want plus you he will steal my money ? Plus I’m the end of all this stressful experience and bad this Waiter from Egypt will come to me and ask for a review and when I said I’m not happy with that he will force me to do the review for him. Keep saying I must do it for him and when I said you should not push me for that. He said no you just have to do it. I believe this is more than rude and I think, I am the customer I’m the client cannot force me to do something because I’m coming to this restaurant to eat at enjoy but unfortunately I didn’t eat plus I didn’t enjoy plus they were trying to stole my money and I believe the money like this in non-smart way is not allowed in UAE as per the rules and the owner must take this into consideration because this is very risky situation however it’s my first and last time welcome to this place and also all my best friends who’s coming to have a food or dinner plus my friends who eat two times a wedding in your place. Well never visit this place...

A serendipitous find during an evening out, Galleria Cafe’s AED85/pax Middle Eastern buffet is a feast for curious palates. The spread dazzles with variety: succulent grilled chicken kebabs, tender chunks of beef leg and lamb atop aromatic rice, and classics like velvety hummus and smoky baba ganoush. Seasoning is spot-on—herbs and spices shine without overpowering, and dishes avoid excessive salt (though expect the oiliness typical of regional cuisine).

Staff were exceptionally welcoming, guiding newcomers through the offerings with patience. Highlights included the richly flavored meats and the freshness of mezze, while the buffet’s breadth ensures there’s something for everyone. Skip the hesitation if you’re new to Middle Eastern fare—this is a delicious, approachable introduction with the only drawback being smoking allowed on premise.

A few tweaks (lighter oil use, perhaps) could elevate it further, but the value for money and warm ambiance make Galleria Cafe a standout. Already saved as a go-to for future visits—ideal for hearty, flavorful meals in a relaxed setting. Don’t miss the rice dishes; they’re a...

Located just a step away from local hotels, this cafe has convenience and style.

It has a very nice outdoor space which is decorated with vines, flowers and lights.

Inside has an Arabic classy feel with clean lines and nice finishings.

The coffee selection is large and they seem to get each item correct to what it should be. This ranges from Turkish coffee to Spanish Latter and a wonderful cappuccino representing the common choice.

They have a great range of food, but the hummus with meat is divine! They also have a sweet menu which is very appealing, but the Nutella crepe is definitely a winner for anyone. You get strawberries and banana with the pit of Nutella on the side so that you can dip rather than it being spread across your plate.

The staff are very attentive, well-mannered and funny. I really enjoyed the server as he knew the perfect balance of seeing if I was ok and leaving me to enjoy the food.

Overall a wonderful experience that you can visit daily as the prices are very reasonable for the service and...
