Mamafri Abu Dhabi — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

#NadzOnTheGo : MAMAFRI x BREAKFAST 😍

My favorite Asian place in Abu Dhabi now has a BREAKFAST menu!! 😍 Visit @lovemamafri located in Al Mawatheeq St - Abu Dhabi, @sheikha to enjoy a unique Asian breakfast with fresh quality food, new flavors and super aesthetic ambience! It's a nice, quiet breakfast with cool music and friendly staff. One of the restaurant’s specialities is how it stays true to the authentic ways of cooking of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and beyond while also adding its own contemporary twist.

We tried:

The Big Breakfast 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Slt Burger 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Japanese Pancake 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Spanish Latte 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Orange Juice 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

239 AED for all the above and good enough for 2 persons. The burger was too good and everything else was yummy as well. If you love breakfast plans and want to try a SOUTH-EAST ASIAN breakfast, definitely check it out!👌😍

#NadzOnTheGo: MAMAFRI.

Had an exclusive invite to the Grand Opening and Abu Dhabi debut of the iconic, South-East Asian fusion restaurant!

Drop everything and head out here coz you are so gonna @lovemamafri !! Absolutely unique flavours, tastes and aromas of Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and beyond.

A family business founded by two Emirati cousins, pronounced ‘mah-muh-frayh', is going to be the BEST flavors of Southeast Asian cooking that you will ever put in your mouth – I guarantee you that!

Loved the cosy, minimalistic interior with gorgeous contemporary design. There’s a bar and open kitchen area, where you get a peek at how the delicious food is made. The vibe is just superb with a unique playlist filling up the air and dim-lit ambiance with table lamps. We tried:

Appetizers: Tempura Corn Fritters Crispy Beef Chicken Toast Bites Mama Salad

Mains: Mama’s Special Rise Mie Goreng Malaysian Curry

Dessert: Coco Cloud

Drinks: Lychee Rose Lemonade

Every single dish & drink for me was 10/10 - YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO TRY IT RIGHT AWAY!

Located in Sheikha Fatima Park in Abu Dhabi from 1pm to 12am on weekdays and 1pm to 1am on weekends.

Mamafri has been always our go to restaurant. And asked our dad to come because we love their food it was his first time. Last week on 17/2 we went to Abu Dhabi branch and it was awful experience definitely not visiting again!! And the staff and the manager are so bad don't know how to solve problems only making it worse.

We faced two problems, and both waitresses had an attitude! First, they were serving the appetizers and main courses together! We haven’t finish the salad and the noodles were on the table already! They kept filling the table with plates and we were five and their tables are small so we were literally eating fast so other plates could fit in!! We asked them to hold the other plates and both waitresses said “the food will come cold, and it’s not our problem if it tasted bad” The attitude!!! We called the manager and she took care of it.

Second, we paid and left and the waitress were running after us and said that the payment didn’t work we checked with the bank and it debited! She asked us to go back to the restaurant and we did. We asked them how come and it debited from our side, she didn’t explain a thing she said “it okay it happened before we need you to pay again” !!! The manager comes to explain and she was making a scene!! Didn’t solve it made it worse and they were literally asking us to pay again! And they said “that this problem happened before 10 times at least with the machine you paid with” WHAT!!!! So you know the problem with the machine and still let us pay with it, they didn’t solve it my dad solve their own problem.

Even their customer service is bad i have been in contact with them in instagram since we left the restaurant and they said will updated me which they haven’t and asked for my contact number and that’s all and haven’t heard from them!

Definitely won’t recommend and won’t visit...

From the moment it opened till now, @mamafri is packed (mashallah), there is always a waiting list. (Out of context, but god bless the waiting list resto guru thing, not only does it tell you which number you are in the waiting list, but it tells you how long it would take! After we put our name on the waiting list, you get a message with the link and you just keep tracking the time which is pretty useful). Moving on, I have heard so many people talk about how good the restaurant is, I have been dying to try it. I was actually pretty disappointed when entering the restaurant cause I didn’t expect it be this small! For such a great location, I would have expected it to be way bigger (it’s very cramped), but that obviously affect how good it is. The interior is stunning - simple, modern, and beautiful. We ordered their crispy beef, which me and my friend absolutely loved - personally I didn’t like the beef alone but with the mashed potato, I wouldn’t mind eating 10 of it! However, my other didn’t really like it, she thought it was too saucy. We also ordered their fried rice and it was super yummy. We also had their chicken tonkatsu - it was crispy and really good + their mi goreng (noodles) which I personally didn’t like but my friends really liked it. For drinks, my friend had their lychee rose lemonade - it was fizzy but she liked it. I had their strawberry mojito which was good. There were a lot of comments about how it’s overrated but honestly I don’t see it as overrated, it was different + genuinely really good and we would definitely go back to try their other things. The staff were super nice, they would come occasionally and ask if things were good and all that.

Lychee rose lemonade - 8.5/10 Strawberry mojito - 8/10 Crispy beef - 9/10 Mama’s special fried rice - 9.5/10 Mi goreng (noodles) - 7.5/10 Chicken...
