Al Khayma Heritage Restaurant Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi

This is a really good place to have dinner , we enjoy too much the food and the atmosphere here is great, the waiter here called Mohamed Gamal is the best waiter I had ever seen. I recommend this restaurant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent restaurant qui sert des spécialités en plein du cœur du festival d’Abu Dhabi (entrée payante 10 dirhams pour un accès illimité). Demandez Mohammed Abu Gamal au service, il sera au petit soin avec vous tout au long de votre dégustation.

الاجواء فوق الخيال والاكل لذيذ مره والتعامل جدا ممتاز بس نرجع لدبي نكرر الزياره بإذن الله

We came for the festival and needed to eat. Forget fast food. We came to Al Khayama to have authentic middle Eastern cuisine and I must say the taste is top notch! Aiwah! We had the mixed grill for 2 and loved every bite! Made to perfection. Shehr served us and was absolutely kind and saw that everything was on point. He was polite and very welcoming. We will definitely be back for more!

The food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well balanced, fresh, and satisfying. Portion size was good, and everything was served hot and nicely presented by Mr. Nayef. Definitely worth trying again.

One of the best Emirati food experiences! The food was very nice and absolutely amazing, and the service was super social and welcoming. Big thank you to Ibrahim for the great service. Definitely will come again! 🤩👌🏻

We visited this restaurant as a family of three with our nine-year-old daughter during the Sheikh Zayed Festival. The food was exceptional — the best we have had in the United Arab Emirates. We especially enjoyed the lamb, shrimp, and mixed starters; all were outstanding. The service was excellent, with special thanks to our waiter, Fethullah, who took great care of us. When we could not eat any more, we were offered a bowl of complimentary donuts. The dates were delicious and paired perfectly with the mint tea. It was a very pleasant experience to enjoy such great food while listening to live music, which created a wonderful atmosphere. We highly recommend this place.

I had a great experience at Al Khaima Al Restaurant. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and traditional, and the service was excellent. I would especially like to thank the waiter Fathallah for his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. He made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely visit again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Touriste de passage, première fois que je goûtais ces desserts émirati et j’ai beaucoup aimé. Abdulraman et Nayef était super avec nous, service au top !!! Un grand merci à eux

Amazing food. Really flavorful. And amazing service thanks to Nayef. Will come back for the regag.

Hands down the best restaurant I visited in the Emirates. Authentic cuisine. Wide selection of choices including choices for vegans and vegetarians. Highly recommended.

This is awesome place to try local Emirati food. The staff are friendly and they suggest the food and also the sizing. We were served by Mr. Hossam and he was very polite and suggested great meal for us. We are happy and our tummies as well.

If you’re looking for tasty, authentic and (big plus) large portions, Al Khayma is the best choice!! Thank you Hima and team for your amazing hospitality! My mom enjoyed as well!

The food is amazing. Quality is very good. The service was very good. Ibrahim was very polite and attentive.

The food was delicious and very authentic. The service was very good, Nayef and AbdulRahman were very kind and friendly. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for authentic traditional food.

We had the Madfoon which is good for two and its massive for even two people. The food was amazingly good and Ibrahim had a very good customer service. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful restaurant with authentic local Arabic cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent — attentive and well-organised with plenty of staff. Special thanks to our waiter Ammer — he was incredibly kind, attentive, and always one step ahead, giving great recommendations. By the end of the evening, it felt like we had known each other for years — almost like family 😊 The place itself is very special, like a small village where children can safely walk around and explore. Live music adds a lovely atmosphere. Perfect for a family outing. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back!

My second visit to Al Khayma .. the best authentic Arabic food ever. You must try Half Grilled Chicken (make it well done to get most Smokey flavor and must try Hyderabads Biryani… ended with nice mint Sulemani Tea… thanks Saad for your best service and customized menu selections… cannot wait to visit again..

I had a great dining experience at this restaurant! Thanks to all the staff especially to Peter. The seafood mix grill was perfect. The lamb tikka was tender and juicy, packed with rich spices. To top it off, the complimentary lugaimat was a delightful surprise—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and drizzled with just the right amount of sweetness. Excellent food and service overall!

Perfect climate, we loved the lunch as well as dessert. Thank you Seif!
