Ishtar Yas Marina — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

My experience at this Arabic restaurant in Abu Dhabi was exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I felt transported to the culture and cuisine of the Middle East. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with lovely decor that created an authentic atmosphere.

The service was impeccable; the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the lamb couscous, and it was delicious, with authentic flavors and beautiful presentation. I also tried the hummus and falafel, which were fresh and flavorful.

The wine and beverage menu was also impressive, with a selection of wines from the region and traditional Arabic cocktails. The baklava dessert was the perfect finishing touch to the meal.

In summary, this restaurant is a true gem in Abu Dhabi for lovers of Arabic cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy authentic flavors and an unforgettable dining experience. I will definitely be back on my next trip...

The best thing about the place is the views on the circuit and Yas Marina, staff are ok, but the food items are over priced like Tabouleh is AED 55, a plate of hummus is AED 55 where every middle eastern restaurant including the ones in 5 stars hotels are cheaper, also the music is a bit off, they are insisting on Moroccan music all the way, I have to ask for a specific song so they put it otherwise Moroccan music on repeat, I understand that the decor is Moroccan but if you target a wide range of people you need to change the music, we go to Lebanese, Iraqi Syrian restaurants and music is always middle Easter’s from every where!! The menu is still too short and nothing exciting about it, shisha is AED 155 ++ which I find it expensive for a middle eastern restaurant … I hope they work on it more than this and compare places to other places in Abu Dhabi and dubai because it’s a nice location and that area needs a nice...

The menu was over overpriced and the quantity was very low, I invited my friends And when they served the food, I was very embarrassed for these small quantities food on these very expensive prices. I ordered a SHAWARMA with 90 dhs!!!!! And it was 3 small pieces!!!! , I think I regretted for my choice for the restaurant because of the expensive prices of the menu. And the food was normal, it didn't impress me, nor was it delicious, it was normal compared with the prices.

I came out upset with the embarrassment regarding food, quantity and prices.

(But a small note).. The best thing in the restaurant was the staff.. The service was quick and perfect they was so helpful , and I also thank ROUAA so much because she helped me to celebrate my fiancé in the restaurant and it was very nice I like alot, the DJ aslo was amzaing..Thanks to...
