Abo Ali Restaurant & Cafe

Everything about this restaurant is just perfect! If you love Arabic food or sea food, be prepared to have a great eating experience. The menu includes several types of dishes that will please all kinds of people, fresh natural juices, soft drinks and desserts are also available. The first floor is family friendly and it even includes a playground, while the ground floor is designed for 18+ years old, as it is a place for smokers. I highly recommend this restaurant, very friendly staff, delicious food at a fair price.

I had shawarma at Abu Ali restaurant along with a drink, and it was really satisfying—good taste and decent portion. The place is huge with very large seating capacity, so it never feels crowded. The atmosphere is lively, and the big clear TVs everywhere give it a nice sports lounge vibe. Overall, a solid spot for quick, filling food in a busy and energetic setting.

This place is a gem for authentic Egyptian food. The atmosphere is super cozy and the menu is massive, so there is honestly something for everyone. It’s the perfect spot to catch a football match with family or friends since they have TVs everywhere. It is a pretty big space and you can just walk in, but I would definitely recommend booking if there is a big game on or if you are heading there over the weekend. The food was incredibly fresh. The mixed grill with garlic dip was a standout, and the kebda is easily one of my new favorites!

✅ The restaurant atmosphere was average, but our overall experience was very disappointing. • Parking: They charged 10 AED for parking. • Food: The pasta tasted mostly like tomato paste, the béchamel was tasteless and bland. Shawarma was served very late and with poor quality. • Service: The glasses had a strong unpleasant smell. After we informed the waiter, they only brought disposable cups but didn’t change the water that was already poured. • Overall quality: Honestly, it doesn’t deserve the 4.4 rating it has online. • Recommendation: Overall service was zero and the experience was disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend visiting this restaurant. (Of course, maybe our food choices were not the best, but in general, the service was very poor.)

Huge restaurant. 5 Star service. 5 Star food quality and taste. Surprisingly the prices are very acceptable for the quality, decor and portion. It has a playground for kids. Very family friendly. And valet parking. Very recommended for family and events booking

We stopped by in the evening after a long walk, and it turned out to be exactly the kind of place we were looking for. No overly complicated menu or endless decisions about what to order — just straightforward, tasty, and satisfying food. We especially enjoyed the grilled dishes and the fresh appetizers. The food felt honest in the best sense of the word: no attempts to impress with presentation, just good flavors and generous portions. During dinner, we noticed that many of the guests seemed to be regulars, and after our visit, it was easy to understand why. In the end, we left with the simple feeling of having had a great meal and a pleasant evening. Sometimes, that's more than enough.

I liked the place very much. Staff were super helpful and everything was good. Food wasn't to my taste but still it was good

Good ambience, very welcoming place. Most of the food we ordered was good but the mix grill needs litle more time on grill, the kabab was slightly red from inside but still stasted good. The coca cola was frozen 🤣 though we did not ask for slushy cola. But the supervisor took care of it and made sure all tables are satisfied. Hats off to the team

الأكل عندهم جدا سيئ طلبنا باستا ألفريدو و طاجين ولاكن طعم سيئ جدا و المعكرونة مو مستوية بشكل كافي

บรรยากาศดี ร้านกว้างมาก ที่จอดรถก็สะดวก พนักงานเอาชีช่ามาผิด แต่สุดท้ายก็ยอมเปลี่ยนให้ หลังจากที่ปฎิเสธก่อนหน้านี้

Wow wow wow … I just ordered “Um Ali” as I was just passing this restaurant and all of us (me, my son and wife) just ate dinner but I must admit that this was the best I ate so far. Please send my grateful thanks to the Chef as he is a master of making Um Ali. The best. Thank You. Sorry, I took a picture once we ate some already but everything was really 10 out of 10.

This is hands down one of the best seafood dishes I have ever tasted and I’m not even the biggest seafood person. ما شاء الله الاكل نظيف ومفيش اي ريحة زقارة من السمك

I had IFTAR today at Abu Ali Restaurant in Al Barsha, and honestly, it was a great experience. The food was very tasty, with good variety and clearly well-prepared. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, which made the whole visit very comfortable. I went early, and I noticed that the restaurant manager was personally present, paying close attention to every detail and making sure everything was perfectly organized so the buffet would be presented in the best possible way. That level of care really shows. I don’t usually write reviews unless a place truly impresses me. Thank you, Abu Ali Restaurant definitely a place worth visiting again. 👍

Unfortunately, my last visit was disappointing compared to before. Parking used to be free, but now it costs AED 10, which doesn’t feel appropriate when you are hosting guests and spending more than AED 1,000. The Ramadan iftar food was good, but there were no complimentary drink options. The drinks were already poured and left on the table before we arrived, which made it uncomfortable to drink from cups that had been sitting there. Also, there was no complimentary tea, which is usually expected during iftar. Small details like these affect the overall experience. I hope the management reviews these points and improves the service

Best iftar buffet with huge seating capacity . Foods very exceptional . You will not expect this much great food in a buffet sooper .

تاني مره اجرب المطعم و الصراحه اول مرة كان حلو لكن هالمره كانت غير موفقه اولا كميه المشاوي اللي في صحن المشاوي المكس قليله جدا على السعر و قليله ك وجبه .. الشيش طاووق للاسف كان محتاج ينشوي اكتر لانه للاسف في قطع نيه الفتوش و الباستا و المنقوشه والتبوله حلوين لكن اتمنى تعيدو النظر في طريقه تقديم المشاوي من حيث الكميه و طريقه الطهي خدمة الموظفين و المكان كانت ممتازه

Love it ! I have no idea how this restaurant is not packed! Super tasty food, everything we Ordered was excellent, the mixed barbecue were so tender and delicious.. trust me ! I have tried many places. The grilled Shrimps were extraordinary! Crazy yummy sauce with a hint of chilly! The portions are wow! Must must try! Im looking forward to try their breakfast and other dishes.. pst: pocket friendly 🤗

İlk defa geldik ve yemekleri çok beğendik. Taze seabas seçtik ve ızgara istedik. Balık çok lezzetliydi. Yanında tereyağında taze karides söyledik. En beğendiğimiz o oldu. Üst katta oturduk ama klimada sanırım sıkıntı var. İçerisi sıcaktı. Künefe biraz hayal kırıklığı. İlk künefe çok soğuk geldi ve sos sonra geldi. Soğuk künefeye de şekerli sosu dökmek olmaz :), yeniden künefe getirdiler sağolsunlar ama lezzet olarak çok beğenemedim. Sonuç olarak deniz ürünleri lezzetli ve tekrar geleceğiz.
