Located in the tourist club this is a gem for those labanese grill lovers.. Not a family place so we decided to order and have the food at home..

We order 2 kg mix grill platter which had cost us around Dhs 80+ unlike any other restaurants serving bbq, the quantity was very good and the quality amd taste was superb and not too fatty.. The mix grill bbq plater consisted of seekh kababs, mutton tikka, arayees, chicken kababs, chkn roast, hummus, toumb, mutabbel, pickle, green salad, and khubz.. The mutton chops were missing but still i wud give it a 4 for the taste and quantiy.. Food was packed hygeinically and the delivery was super quick

This place is such a hidden gem. One of the best, cheapest and delicious arabic takeaway joint for me. Everything we have tried here is absolutely amazing, specially for the price point. The mixed grill was great and so was the biryani. Huge portion and quick service!!

Always winner for Group lunch @ office. In our office there are different nationalities. Food selection is always the difficult task because of the preference. When it comes to Abil fida no one have objections. Everyone agrees with this place. We loved the taste of all dishes which they serves.

They have big platter menu with rice and meat options. You can go for mix options. They will give take aways in proper plate packings. Ideal for home and office parties.

They have best arabic rice and meat dishes.

I have tasted mixed grills from many restaurants which are quite expensive, but when I heard about this joint it was quite unbelievable as the price what I heard was something unreal untill I tasted the mixed grill. Believe me it's really tasty and worth every penny. Thumbs up 👍

From the last 3-4 years, we have been having regular take aways for their mixed grill platters, rice platters etc, whenever we have a large gathering, we have ordered upto 6kg mixed grill, along with all the sides and everytime delivered hot and on time. The biggest advantage is the price, they are so economical and take orders from 10-11am onwards. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for no fancy economical tasty take away grills!

My friend ordered from this restaurant and I was amazed at the value for money this offered. Thus, when we moved house recently, and I needed to feed the movers, the first place I thought of was Abil Fida. 

Ordering is fairly straightforward if you can get someone who speaks your language (in my case English).

Food arrived in decent time and was great. The meat and salads were well appreciated by everyone. A lot of food for the money. Excellent money saver.

This small quaint store serves one of the best tasting Arabic kebabs I've ever tasted! For a family dinner we ordered the 3 kg meat platter. It came with an assortment for chicken, lamb and beef kababs with condiments such as a spicy red sauce, hummus, arayes and tabouleh.
Make sure you order extra hummus and salads, because we only got one plate of each condiment which seemed too little for such a huge platter.
The meat is super juicy and you'll want to go for more!

Happy dining

GREAT place to go if you've got a BIG appetite but a not so big wallet!
BEST place for Arabic food so far, in my opinion. The price you pay for the quantity and quality of the food you get is exceptional. Don't judge the place by the looks as it is small and a little congested but if you're having a party for a large group of friends, say about 10-12 people, then do go for the 3kg mixed grill. They also give complimentary black tea which is nice.

I have tried almost every dish of Abil Fida and non of them is had according to their price. This is one of the cheapest Arabic restaurant on Abu Dhabi island. I normally order their 2 kg mixgrill which i just 80 dirhams and enough for 3 pax so its very pocket friendly place. Also their Full ouzi lamb is amazing.

One of the ancient places in the heart of Abu Dhabi. The only place that we call for any big feast as their meat is delicious and affordable. You can even give them raw meat and they will cook it for you. I ordered Ouzi meat and grilled chicken wings. Both were very delicious and juicy. He also added condiments (hummus, mutabel, garlic paste, salad and soup)
The portions are big!! And the delivery came in no more than 15 minutes!! Definitely a must try!!!

Abil Fida serves high quality Arabian cuisine food at the most reasonable price in Abu Dhabi.
The grilled chicken and meat items are juicy and delicious. Their Arayes tastes amazing and is better than other Arabian cuisine eateries I have tried. They serve their 1kg Mix Grill with 4 plates of different dips and 2 plates of different salads all at a price of 60Dhs.
Their staff are really friendly however, they lack communication skills with non-arab customers as they mainly speak in arabic. The ambience is not great so I usually have my orders take-away. Im still giving them a rate of 4/5 because I’ve never seen any other restaurant serve such good food at such a reasonable rate.

Is you are looking for acceptable quality and good prices then this is the place. They are well known for their reasonable prices. I order from their occasionally! Honestly they don't serve the best quality in mixed grill but from their prices you shouldn't expect the best quality. However, their Arayes are to die for 💓

Eating at Abil Fida is an old habit for me. When it comes affordability when you have too many friends or family members, I opt for this restaurant because they have an offer for 3 kg mixed grill @ just 120 AED, which is a good bargain.

It's a small restaurant. We usually do takeouts.

Positive:
Friendly staff (although white arabs, usually they are arrogant to Indians).
Very quick orders as they cook / grill all the time.

Negative:
Not the best quality
No seating space for family.

Out of all the Arabic BBQ in UAE, so far the best one I've had. The food is always fresh and tasty. The platter comes with different tasty condiments. The only downside I can say is that dine in facility is limited to 6 people and you have to pay extra 20 aed if you choose to dine in

Best place in town to get the BBQ from. Ideal way is to get the take away as the sitting area is very small with no privacy. They also charge less if you take away. Good strategy on their part. I like the mixed grill which has so many things. Their humus is one of the best I have tasted. The salad is fresh and comes with crispy bits on top. Although I don’t like the red bits they put on salad that kills its taste for me. They give too much bread which you may want to tell them to avoid in order not to waste food.

Excellent choice for BBQ and not heavy on the pocket

Absolutely thankful for Abil Fida's existence in the two locations Im at most of the time (TCA and Khaldiya), the service is great I usually call and pick up my food 20-40 minutes later. Food is yummy and great for value. Definitely recommend the two kilos platter for a three adults and two kids, it comes with hummus, salads, bread and lahm b ajeen, we were never able to to eat it all.

Was in TCA and the family wanted me to pick up dinner.

Browsing Zomato came across Abil Fida which was just around the corner and had a great rating.

Ordered one KG mixed grill and a grilled chicken. It was chaotic at the place but they had the correct order for me ready in ten minutes

Both the chicken and mix grill were pretty good and there was a huge quantity of bread, different dips and salad as well.

Great value for money at AED 60 for a kg of mix grill and AED 30 for a chicken easily enough for five to six people.

I'd have preferred a bit more seasoning and less bread as they do give you way too much.

Highly recommended if you are looking for something s bit different than the usual Arabic options.

We went here earlier for dinner and liked it a lot! Staff were friendly and accomodating, and food was too plently for the price you pay. So we ordered an all meat set which comes with 3 kinds of sauce, a salad, and a basketful of bread. The meats were tasty as well as the sauce - really good!

Well for mixed grills this is cost effective and tasty Arabic grills - now they have become too stingy as quantity is very less.Back in 2009 if we order 3 kilos there would be 3 big plates of quantities.Now it's reduced to 1/3 of old quality .Good place to recommend any one got grills.A place to go whenever craving for grills

The mixed grill from here is the cheapest but also one of the best available in Abu Dhabi. The Mutton and the Spicy sauce is my favorite. The only issue is that if you don't know Arabic then it's a bit difficult to explain to them the location. I have ordered from here already 4 times and I definitely will order again due to such tasty food.

So, I finally did it -- made my first home-delivery food order. And what a good way to start something, as Abel Fida in the Tourist Club area did not disappoint.

We were going to have a pool party for more than 10 guests, and I did not feel like cooking, nor did I have the time as I wanted to go watch 'Piku' (I love Deepika!) yesterday afternoon with my hubby, which, by the way, is a funny, yet touching movie on the relationship between a daughter and her widower father.

Ok, back to Abel Fida: the gentleman who delivered the food actually came earlier than expected, and the food he brought was hot from the grill. I had ordered the 2kg Big Plate Mix Grill + appetisers, which consisted of pickles,  green salad, hummus, garlic paste, bread, and a couple of others which I don't know what their names are. One was made with eggplant/aubergine, and the other was a spicy red paste. My hubby really liked the grilled onions. :)

The delivery came with a delivery charge of aed5, and I gave the delivery man another aed 5 as a tip. I think it was a total of aed90 very well spent! Will definitely order from Abel Fida again.
